S15 Ep808: Lucy (2014)

“The four of us are on a one-way bullet train to Stupid City” - Andrew on covering this movie for the show

On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza does indeed head to Stupid City as we’re talking about the really silly, really short, sci-fi thriller, Lucy! How totally great is Choi Min-sik in this movie? Precisely how many seconds is Morgan Freeman standing on-screen? When Lucy gets so smart, why is she still unable to understand and speak multiple languages? With the action and fight choreography being as fun as they are, couldn’t we have gotten more of that and less of Morgan Freeman giving that lecture? And do people at the front desk of a Westin care if you’re going to eat at the hotel restaurant? PLUS: Lucy visits all the best Times Square chain restaurants and attractions!

Lucy stars Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Pilou Asbaek, Lio Tipton, and Choi Min-sik as Mr. Jang; directed by Luc Besson.
