Besson has always made his female characters strong. 'La Femme Nikita' is the obvious example, set early in his career. I think this was something of a turning point for female characters. 'The Fifth Element' (his script) followed suit, as did 'Colombiana' (also written by).
Scarlett Johansson in 'Lucy' is certainly no exception -- Luc looks to be in form and Johansson is shaping up to be the next female action star, with perhaps more of an emotional intensity and psychological complexity than we've seen before. Looking forward.
