[deweybarksdale]

<br>After a decade when the only person to take her seriously was Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson seems to have found her groove of late, brandscarlett.com with the new actioner “Lucy” as further confirmation of her niche.<br><br>She’s been a poker-faced Russian comic book heroine in “The Avengers” universe, a murderously humorless alien in “Under the Skin” and a voice a guy could fall in love with in “Her.” And that’s the polished skill-set she brings to “Lucy,” a vulnerable college student whose poor choice in beaus gets her tangled up with a Korean/Taiwanese mob unleashing a new drug on Europe.<br><br>Lucy resists the pleas of Richard (Pilou Asbæk) to deliver a briefcase, so he just handcuffs it to her and sends her in to meet her fate with Mr. Jang (Min-sik Choi).<br><br>Jang’s bloody hands make Lucy whimper in fear. And that’s before she realizes what his associate (Julian Rhind-Tutt) has in store. They need to transport this potent new drug and she’s to be one of the couriers. They knock her out and sew it into her intestines.<br>
