Sex & Nudity

  • A girl is wearing a shear shirt over sports bra while talking her friend/roommate. She mentions that a guy she met took her to a hotel and they "made love all night". No additional details are shared. In one other shot you can see her blurry in the background from the knees up, she is wearing underwear.
  • Lucy is tied up, and a man puts his hand down the front of her shirt. The camera pans up and it appears that he starts to feel around her chest. She then shoves his hand away.
  • As the narrator talks about nature passing on genetic information there are several brief scenes of animals mating. At he end of this montage there is a quick shot with two people in a vehicle. You can see the silhouette of a woman straddling a man and she is moving up and down. You can see her bare arms, but nothing else is distinguishable.

Violence & Gore

  • Several nameless people are shot throughout the movie. Little blood spray
  • A man is shot, and a small amount of blood is sprayed against a window.
  • We see the feet of two very recently-killed people, Some blood is shown on the feet. This sight causes Lucy to vomit.
  • Lucy uses a pair of knives to impale a man's hands to an armchair. We don't see it happen thought. All we hear is the man screaming
  • There are a few surgery scenes, which are somewhat graphic. No Gore though
  • There is a car chase, during which many cars are flipped over or otherwise crashed.
  • Lucy reaches her hand into a stitched-up incision of a corpse, not graphic.
  • Lucy uses her bare hand to remove a bullet from her shoulder. She feels no pain, and it's not graphic.

Profanity

  • One not fully enunciated F-word at the beginning (you will only hear half of it), 4 scatological terms, 2 anatomical terms, 2 mild obscenities.
  • Name-calling (crazy, fool. nut bar and silly.)
  • Stereotypical references to drug dealers, drug mules, drug addicts, mob bosses, scientists, men and women.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • When the bag of the drug ruptures inside Lucy, she goes into convulsions, which occur on the floor, then the wall, and the ceiling.
  • Some alcohol is consumed, but nobody gets drunk.
  • A few characters smoke cigarettes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The first scene, which is lighthearted, becomes very intense very suddenly. Lucy is terrified by everything that happens around her. She visibly shakes throughout, and vomits at the sight of two dead bodies.
  • Many chases and shoot outs with random death and destruction throughout.
  • Lucy is grabbed, manhandled, punched, and kicked in several early scenes.
  • The whole movie is pretty intense because of the chases, shootouts, and suspense.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The plot revolves around a bag of a fictional drug. We see a junkie forced to snort a sample of it. He convulses for a moment, then laughs hysterically and uncontrollably. He is shot before it gets too annoying.
  • When Lucy's body starts to fall apart (see below), she desperately eats a large portion of the drug, covering a lot of her face in blue crystals. Her skin absorbs most of them.
