Universal Home Video have announced that Lucy — the action flick directed by Luc Besson (The Professional) that starred Scarlett Johansson (The Avengers) — will be released on Digital HD on January 20th, and then as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack and on DVD on January 20th.
Had it been made by anyone else, the movie Lucy would’ve been far more conventional, far more straight-forward. But writer/director Luc Besson (The Professional, The Fifth Element) takes a decidedly artsy and European approach to this sci-fi action flick, and while this ultimately makes it a glorious failure, it’s still entertaining enough to be worth seeing. Eventually.
