Jolt (R: 2021)

Rated R, released in 2021. Amazon Prime Original movie. 1 hour, 31 minutes. Directed by Tanya Wexler, Written by Scott Wascha, starring Kate Beckinsale, Jai Courtney, Stanley Tucci, and many more.

It’s a pseudo-realistic tale of a woman with rage, that kills, and needs control. From childhood, her anger management that gave her super-strength in her fits of rage led to a path where she had to wear an electrode-lined vest that she’d activate to shock herself with jolts of electricity to put herself in her place. She discovers love for the first time and that seems to be her cure-all. Little did she know, that it was short-lived and false, leading her on a vengeful quest to find a killer and destroying anything in her path. Does it lead to true love? Good plot, well-done screenplay, and production. Amazon original film. Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 – reviewed by Thomas Baurley, Techno Tink Media.
