In the first 15 minutes of the film, Lucy (played by Scarlett Johansson) is a somewhat interesting person, who is ensnared in a criminal plot by her slimy boyfriend. Then, she takes a drug which slowly transforms her into an emotionally-flat superhuman who spouts embarrassingly bad philosophical musings. Perhaps Luc Besson wanted to make her like Dr Manhattan, but the movie Lucy is in is nowhere as emotionally or intellectually deep as The Watchmen. There isn't much of a plot either. It's mostly a bunch of action sequences poorly strung together. We don't really know who the Korean villains in the film are or what they want or why they are so desperate to get their drugs back that they are willing to pick fights with cops. We don't really know what the heroine Lucy wants either, other than some vague desire to "pass on what she has learned". 2/5 - Meh
