Re: Lucy (D: Besson; S: Johansson)
Ehhhhhhhhhh. I dunno about that.

Taken is little more than shoot'em up junk food. Neeson is a good actor, but he doesn't get much to do in the film behind scowl and bear people up. He lends perhaps more gravity to the movie than that type of film is normally expected to have, but it's still just a nuts and bolts action flick and little else. There isn't anything wrong with that, I'm just saying that it doesn't give Neeson lots of room to show off his acting.

should be interesting to see her actually act again, unlike whatever the fuck she does when playing in the Marvel universe.

isn't there considered a gun safety rule that says 'never point a gun sideways & actually fire it'
Hold on. Her whole arm is turned. If it was just the wrist, it'd hurt. Beyond that? Uhhhh... I'd think that the possibility of the casing flying into your mug would be an issue too. |
Re: Lucy (D: Besson; S: Johansson)
There is a part in Leon where Natalie Portman shoots a .357 Magnum one handed out the window and it has the recoil of a BB gun. Don't look for gun realism in a Luc Besson film.

Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
Dammit, take my money!

Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
Ehhhh... Goes a bit too far with its premise but it looks pretty cool. It's Besson directing. I'm going to see it.

Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
International sex symbol does action movie from creator of many sleeper hit trashy shoot'em ups with maximize appeal to teenage boys? Oh, Universal's marketing department must have died and gone to heaven.
Out of curiosity, what is the origin of this "We only use 10% of our brain" stuff? Old pulp SF writing or something? |
Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
Did they just do this with Limitless?
|
Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
Yeah. Except he was a bitch.
|
Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
Huh. Plot synopsis made it sound like Crank with a female. Instead were basically getting a superhero story. Aw hell I'm in for anything Beeson does.
|
Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
that looks pretty cool. i'll check it out.
|
Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
curious, given how the MPAA has had issues w man on woman violence, even in action movies (Haywire feels like a PG-13 movie), does this get cut to shreds to get a PG-13 & get the biggest possible audience
|
Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
Looks interesting, I'll probably check it out.
|
Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson)
Looks like a lot of fun.

Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson
Trailer makes it seem like a mix of The Matrix and oh I don't know, Haywire, with bits of The Fifth Element thrown in. (The girl is the key, and she has a multipass, I mean passport.) Might not be a bad thing though. Action scenes look good, and ignoring the usual plot holes, it might be a great ride. So is Morgan Freeman's character going to the big bad? Was it all just a dream? lol
|
Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson
I don't think Morgan Freeman is a baddie at all. The trailer makes it seems like he is talking with the lead henchman but it's obvious that two very different scenes were spliced together for the trailer and it's likely that Freeman is speaking to a very different character altogether. Also, in the trailer the lead henchman is shown apparently working with Scarlett Johansson so possibly he doesn't stay a baddie for long either.

Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson
Saw this in front of Captain America 2 and it was great! The crowd went nuts and it gave me a hard on. It's Limitless meets the Matrix directed by Luc Besson.
I'm so fucking there!!!!! Not to mention Old Boy is also in it! Take my money again! |

Re: Lucy (2014, Besson) S: Johansson
Besson showed two full scenes from Lucy. It looks great.
