A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.
Given the track record of writer-director Luc Besson ("The Fifth Element"), I was hoping this story of a woman (Scarlett Johansson) tapped into an ever-growing brain capacity would be a bold and inspired piece. What I got was a piece of something else altogether. As Lucy's enhanced powers turn ludicrous, the plot becomes unintentionally hilarious. Rating: One-half star.
