#MovieReview: Lucy

Lucy is a 25-year-old American woman living and studying in Taipei, Taiwan. She is tricked into working as a drug mule by her new boyfriend, whose employer is a Korean mob boss and drug lord named Mr. Jang. Lucy delivers a briefcase to Mr. Jang containing a highly valuable synthetic drug called CPH4. Lucy is captured and a bag of the drug is forcibly sewn into Lucy's abdomen and that of others who will also transport the drug for sales in Europe. While Lucy is in captivity, one of her captors kicks her in the stomach, breaking the bag, releasing a large quantity of the drug into her system. As a result, she begins acquiring increasingly powerful mental talents and enhanced physical capabilities, such as absorbing information instantaneously, telekinesis, mental time travel, and can choose not to feel pain or other discomforts, in addition to other abilities. She kills off her present captors and escapes.

My Review 2 Sucky Stars

Ok so this one I so wanted to see SO very bad! I mean really watch that trailer and tell me you don't want to watch it!  But,  I'm sad to say that after watching this movie I was very disappointed and really wish that I could get my free tickets back. The movie started out really good. You have Lucy who just wants to go home but, ends up being forced to delivering some case full of drugs.  It did a great job explaining what the drug was as well as how us as humans only use 10% of our total brain capacity. The rest of the movie when it got towards the end started falling very flat.  And the end was just stupid.  This movie had so much potential but fell flat.  So my advice is to rent it via RedBox. Or if you have Netflix just wait until its in there.
