Join Darryl as he revisits Lucy (2014) for this From the Vault episode, digging back into Luc Besson's high-concept sci-fi thriller starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman, and unpacking why a film built on a scientific myth still manages to hit so hard a decade on.
This episode contains full spoilers.
In this review, Darryl shares why Scarlett Johansson's gradual transformation from terrified hotel captive to something barely human floored him, how Choi Min-sik's near-silent menace as Mr. Jang stuck with him long after the credits, and why, as someone who doesn't usually gravitate toward sci-fi, this is the film that finally converted him.
