Despite his cynicism and her impressive pro- Lucy (July 25) Scarlett Johansson nouncements, Stanley finds himself attracted to the beguiling Sophie. dips her toe into the action genre for the first time with Luc Besson’s Lucy, which sounds like a mashup of Limitless and La Femme Nikita. If Johansson wants to take the next step from her turns in superhero movies like The Avengers to topline an action movie with a scifi angle, then Besson is the perfect director as he has a track record for action movies with female leads including Nikita and The Fifth Element. Johansson plays Lucy, a woman living in Taipei who is forced to become a drug mule.
