Firstly, as I commented on Kate Beckinsale's Instagram, does this girl ever age? At 47, she still looks like a 25 year old, and hot af especially in this film, of which was a great unique concept for the traditional "revenge against the rich evil villain" story. It was very entertaining and well written, especially as the first ever writing credit by Scott Wascha. It was an easy (albeit predictable) story with awesome violent action and fight choreography, with some great laughs thrown in, and some unexpected twists. It was paced perfectly for its 91 min runtime.
Novice director Tanya Wexler did a might fine job with her directing. The cinematography was outstanding and the score on point. It's always a pleasure to see Stanley Tucci and Bobby Cannavale. My only complaint is that Laverne Cox should have had much more comedic dialogue, especially during the baby tossing scene (never seen that one before lmao, kudos to Wascha). And of course the lovely Miss Beckinsale did what she does best; kick ass and look gorgeous doing it.
While the film could've used a little more "jolt", it's still a great Sunday couch and popcorn flick that will entertain nevertheless. You can tell the filmmakers and cast all had fun making Jolt. I feel the critics went a little too hard on this one; I feel it's well deserving of my 8/10, and I'll have no problem watching it again with friends. Looking forward to Part 2.
