Lucy (15)

Action, Sci-Fi

A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.

The critical consensus

Lucy is immensely inconsistent and exceedingly daft and yet it remains a good deal of fun.

***(*)(*)Emma Simmonds, The List, 18/08/2014

Plays out as a mash-up of Besson’s own Taken, blended with Frankenstein and Terrence Malick’s The Tree Of Life, and for most of its short running time this is sincerely, watchably and gloriously crackers.

***(*)(*)Siobhan Synnot, The Scotsman, 17/08/2014

Besson's film does nothing to deserve its primary asset: Johansson herself, who starts out interesting, and ends up being merely and boringly superhuman.

John Patterson, The Guardian, 16/08/2014

What begins as a thrilling pastiche of comic-book formula gets bogged down in its own scientific prattle — not that you ever stop adoring Johansson’s magnificent heroine.

***(*)(*)Ian Nathan, Empire Online, 18/08/2014

Besson is at his balls-out bonkers best in this genre-scrambling, mind-expanding exhilarator. Find it on the biggest screen available and just say ‘Yes’…

****(*)Kate Stables, Total Film, 22/08/2014

The most fun (and completely insane) action movie of the summer.

****(*)David Ehrlich, Little White Lies, 20/08/2014
