I saw Lucy this week – it’s the new film by Luc Besson. That’s the Luc Besson who directed such classics as Leon and The Fifth Element, as well as wrote cult action flicks like The Transporter and Taken. It’s fair to say I like the man – his films are great. So with Lucy, I thought I’d be in for a treat, seeing as the trailer promised something between Limitless (which I enjoyed) and The Matrix (which I enjoyed). Tee hee, silly me – what I got instead was the most brain-bending stack of nonsense I’ve encountered in a very long time.

But how do you make money from a tax scheme? Andy why do people keep picking on the poor old film industry?
