Lucy? Don't you mean the Matrix?

Lucy is the Matrix if the Matrix were about drugs instead of computers. She doesn't have to deal with malware and viruses. Instead Lucy, played by Scarlet Johansen, has to deal with the Taiwanese Mafia. 

The Taiwanese Mafia has to deal with her. They are just stand-ins. Cut-outs about as fleshed out as the natives in a John Wayne Western. I want to know why they chose the life of crime? After all, humans have more agency than malware. Malware is just rouge binary code. Drugs are just chemicals. Humans are much deeper than that. Humans have career goals, humans write goal-oriented mission statements optimized for Power Point!
