The reviews here are correct, very slow boring movie, after an hour of the film going nowhere and Im bored to tears, the FF button came in handy. This film not recommended.

First off, if it wasn't for the hot naked chicks I would have stop watching 1/2 hour into it. This is absolutely one of the worst movies I've seen by a major star. The writer should be shot. The dialogue is horrible! Surprisely, I found the co-stars were decent and at times better than Lucy's acting. Lucy was reading off a script or something. The story was not coherent at all. I lost count how many times she died and came back. Felt like a long and boring B rated movie.
