who's talking about the box office? The question was if you were personally offended. {nm}
Anyone finds it disturbing that LUCY shoots an innocent Taxi driver for not speaking English in the trailer/commercial? Jul 09, 16:09
Yes! {nm} Jul 09, 16:10
She could shoot a tire. The trailer/commerical cuts off the subtitle, so you previously thought she killed him. {nm} Jul 09, 16:33
You're looking for morality from an R rated action film? Try VeggieTales. Jul 09, 16:51

Han Solo before CGI {nm} Jul 09, 17:09

spock and kirk shooting nero in trek 2009 Jul 09, 17:19
ah well bad guy never mind. but a case where hero doesnt always do the totally right thing {nm} Jul 09, 17:22
Nero is the Villain. {nm} Jul 09, 17:22
His partner isn't an innocent bystander. {nm} Jul 09, 17:22
I was thinking of the guard at the psych ward that he shot in the knees, because John ordered him not to kill anyone {nm} Jul 09, 17:56
In T2, Sarah Connor shoots Miles Dyson with a sniper rifle but is stopped from finishing him off {nm} Jul 09, 17:46
He's not an innocent bystander in the storyline. I thought that was made clear. {nm} Jul 09, 17:47

Lucy is supposed to be a Hero? News to me. {nm} Jul 10, 17:31
Its the movies.....change perspective a little and you get a totally different story. {nm} Jul 09, 16:54
bada-boom! {nm} Jul 09, 16:28
no. {nm} Jul 09, 16:32
maybe the needed context is before that scene...she trusted some ordinary person and it backfired...we'll see {nm} Jul 09, 17:13
The 1st trailer seems to be saying that, as she starts accessing more parts of her brain, she fears she's becoming less human. Jul 09, 17:25

S-M-R-T! {nm} Jul 09, 17:38
+1 {nm} Jul 09, 17:35
One more Bourne example (Bourne Legacy spoils) Jul 09, 18:03
ITA - looks like the shooting is MEANT to be brutal and callous, a sign that Lucy's not the person she used to be {nm} Jul 10, 11:35
its thats the true context, its worst than "poor". {nm} Jul 09, 17:52
its potentially reflective of a hot button political issue {nm} Jul 09, 18:08
no, it revolves around immigration, not political correctness {nm} Jul 09, 18:36
the boxoffice wont care about that either... {nm} Jul 09, 22:38
who's talking about the box office? The question was if you were personally offended. Jul 10, 09:20
I may be wrong but I remember Total Recall having a lot of dead bystanders. Didn't Arnie use one as a shield? {nm} Jul 10, 00:41
