THE GOOD NURSE highlights one of the most authentic performances by Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. These two consummate actors make this thriller come to life.ย
The film is based on a chilling, true story about a serial killer who made his rounds at various hospitals over sixteen years. How this killer got away with hundreds of murders isย ย ย Frightening for anyone who has stayed in a hospital. The writers kept the movie low-key and let the horrifying story demand dominance. It worked brilliantly.
Jessica and Eddie made THE GOOD NURSE excel as much as it did. While viewing, I totally forgot I was watching actors play their roles. I believed Jessica was Amy, an ICU nurse with extreme skill and empathy. The quiet, thoughtful moments of caring made the evilness stand out even more. I will never forget Charlieโs (Eddie) screaming monologue using only two words. โI canโtโ is embedded in my brain forever. It was a true Meisner lesson of the highest caliber. Breathe, Eddieโฆ just breathe.ย
THE GOOD NURSE is a slow burn, but once the puzzle pieces are in place, look out. It will grab you and wonโt let go. Compelling and intense. It is truly a โhorrorโ film of a different nature, and oh, so scary because it happened.ย ย
THE GOOD NURSE is available to stream on Netflix.
