Jolt (2021)

My quick rating - 5,6/10. Kate Beckinsale involved in a movie that doesn't have to do with lycans. It has been a while. I have to say that this movie held some potential that just didn't get realized. Beckinsale is born with some unidentifiable issue that causes her to go into a massive rage for no apparent reason. Bipolar on steroids, basically a sort of toned down version of "Crank" was my best comparison. So throughout flashback explanations and some narration we get to her present day management of the affliction. She basically shocks herself through a body harness to keep herself under control. Through her therapists urging is she must somehow try to make human contact to mediate herself. Well, this isn't a dramatic flick, so when her dating attempt goes well and THAN he is murdered, she is dead set on finding those responsible for taking away the one man who had somewhat broken through with her. So now we get down to our action flick we came to see, with the foul mouthed Beckinsale beating the crap out of everyone to find the killer. There are some nice twists and turns in this one but the problem is most of the good ideas that were presented through this are so under developed that they become afterthought in between ass kicking. Still the action is decent and the cast is capable enough. I was entertained enough and for what it is worth as a popcorn flick, I am sure you will be as well.
