I wouldn't use it as a primer on mental health or anything, but Jolt has a lot of fun with Kate Beckinsale having anger management problems that require her to self-medicate with shock therapy every time she wants to bash someone's head in. Her trigger is people behaving badly, so it feels like wish fulfillment, honestly. And since this is a movie, she's perfect for getting involved in a revenge plot - it's therapy! Beckinsale has a great presence - they even let her be British, which is a plus - and manages to eek out a sweetness despite her innate violence. Fun action beats. A couple of comedy cops (this is a wry comedy dressed up as an action flick). A cool neon look, which has become pretty standard for these things, but is nonetheless appreciated. Though I didn't really grok the epilogue, if it really is a promise for making this a series, I'm into it. Seeing as I like Kate Beckinsale as an action star, but hate the Underworld movies, I need a vampire-free niche to get my jollies. 2 years 4 months ago -

Didn’t expect anything, was pleasantly surprised. Brilliant, funny, entertaining. Only the end was a bit too much. 2 years 9 months ago
