4.Lucy

4.《超體》

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帥氣硬漢的主場，《變形金剛》就是最好的例子。而導演呂克·貝松卻在這部驚悚大片中講述了一個年輕女人被注射入一種新型毒品，結果擁有超于常人的力量。情節引人入勝而又十分燒腦，打斗和撞車場景貫穿始終。這位法國導演兼編劇延續一貫的“女性人物主導”的動作片特色，在《超體》中塑造了一名無所不能的“女超人（斯嘉麗·約翰遜飾），堪稱世上最有殺傷力的武器。影片用89分鐘概述了300萬年的人類進化史。《超體》無疑是2014年熒幕上最酷炫最刺激最精彩的動作大片。
