From La Femme Nikita and The Professional to The Fifth Element, writer/director Luc Besson has created some of the toughest, most memorable female action heroes in cinematic history. Now, Besson directs Scarlett Johansson in Lucy, an action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.
Sweet! She is one of the best actresses in the world today. This plot could very well fall into generic territory but I hope that it excels past that and becomes a classic!
It looks REALLY generic. Hopefully it’s not. The posters look cool though…
