Sometimes there is such a mood when you want to turn off mobile phones, send all your affairs and problems to hell and just relax like a human being. Armed with popcorn (or crispy wings) and a nice drink, we sit at the screens, choosing a driving action movie with elements of fantasy, for example, “Lucy”.
The story tells about the girl Lucy, who went to study the language in Taiwan and found herself in the cycle of the most unexpected events. She became involved in the scheme of the Chinese mafia and drug trafficking. At the same time, all the drugs that got into her body suddenly began to cause unique abilities: super strength and extraordinary intelligence.
New skills should help the girl get out of a delicate situation and, perhaps, radically change the outcome of events.
Agree, such a theme fits perfectly into the picture of an exciting movie marathon.
