Our take on Lucy

Luc Besson's 2014 action science-fiction film centers on a woman who is accidentally swept into a dark criminal deal, then turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior whose abilities evolve beyond ordinary human limits. Compact and propulsive, it fuses kinetic set pieces with heady, high-concept ideas about the reach of the human mind. It moves fast and prioritizes style and momentum over careful realism. It suits viewers who want a slick, brisk genre ride that mixes gunfire with big philosophical swings, and who don't mind the science taking a back seat to spectacle. Bold, quick and unapologetically stylized throughout.
