Lucy

Chief Chick Comments

Scarlett Johansson plays Lucy, a graduate student studying in Asia, when her boyfriend of one week traps her into making a delivery to a luxury hotel of a locked briefcase containing a new synthetic drug. Later when some of the drug accidentally becomes infused into her body, Lucy begins able to access increasing percentages of her brain capacity. It is said by Morgan Freeman, a professor in Paris, that humans use only 10% of their brain capacity. We see cutaway scenes where Freeman is lecturing about the power of the human brain and evolution. Eventually, Lucy contacts him and flies to Paris to see him. This movie is a sic-fi, but the concept is interesting. It is pure conjecture what a human utilizing greater percentages of his or her brain could actually accomplish, but this is one theory. I found it just the right length and interesting throughout. The higher chick rating is only because our heroine is Lucy played by Scarlett Johansson.
