"Fans of Johansson's patented flat affect — put to better use in Under the Skin and Marvel's The Avengers — will enjoy Lucy, as too will the kid from your college dorm who ate too many mushrooms that one night. … Nothing much happens in Lucy — the plot on a pinhead: Scarlett Johansson gets roped into being a drug mule for a crime boss in Taipei, and after ingesting her parcel becomes a near deity — but since it's shorter than some commutes, who cares? This is probably a spoiler, but in a movie as confusing and downright weird as Lucy, spoilers are relative."
