Lucy (2014)
A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic. Short synopsis of Lucy taken from IMDb.com
The review: The same day I watched Gone Girl was the same day I watched Lucy. In truth, Lucy was the object of my rental money on that day, when I stopped at the Redbox and saw it was available. My wife had remarked before it released in the box office that she thought it looked good, but was both uncertain about watching an "R" rated film and also wasn't sure she wanted to spend big theater bucks to go see it. She's the better of the two of us in regards to adult-type fare, on the norm. There are exceptions (see my review of We're the Millers as an example).

Movie Review: Gone Girl
Gone Girl (2014)
With his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent. Short synopsis of Gone Girl taken from IMDb.com
The review: I saw the trailer for this one when I went to the cheap seats to see Fury, and thought "Hmmm... That looks mildly interesting." So when I stopped by the Redbox on my way home from work on a Saturday afternoon, and they flashed that, "Wait, you can get another rental today for only fifty cents more"-bit, I decided to try it. When I started to watch the film, I noted the part at the beginning where the content rating info is shown, and the list of reasons why it was rated that way. I hadn't placed the film as being an "R" rating when I got it from the box, and I thought to myself, "Oh my." We've got strong sexual stuff, nudity, language and graphic violence.
