4.Lucy

4.《超体》

Most big summer movies are handsome, muscular and dumb; in a word,Transformers. Luc Besson’s globe-trotting thriller, about a woman empowered and imperiled by the infusion of a powerful new drug into her nervous system, is different: it kicks assandtakes brains. Besson provides his usual fights and car crashes, before swerving toward a climax of Mensa movie madness in the spirit of a berserk2001. The French writer-director, who has often put women at the center of his action movies (La femme Nikita,The Professional,The Fifth Element), here creates a heroine whose rapidly expanding abilities make her the world’s most awesome weapon — in the process, promoting Scarlett Johansson from an indie-film icon and Marvel-universe sidekick to the movie superwoman she was destined to be. Taking place in less than a day, while simultaneously synopsizing three million years of human evolution in a hurtling 89 mins. of screen time,Lucyis the year’s best, coolest, juiciest, smartest action movie.

大部分暑期大片都是帅气硬汉的主场，《变形金刚》就是最好的例子。而导演吕克·贝松却在这部惊悚大片中讲述了一个年轻女人被注射入一种新型毒品，结果拥有超于常人的力量。情节引人入胜而又十分烧脑，打斗和撞车场景贯穿始终。这位法国导演兼编剧延续一贯的“女性人物主导”的动作片特色，在《超体》中塑造了一名无所不能的“女超人（斯嘉丽·约翰逊饰），堪称世上最有杀伤力的武器。影片用89分钟概述了300万年的人类进化史。《超体》无疑是2014年荧幕上最酷炫最刺激最精彩的动作大片。
