Description: “Jolt” is an American action comedy film directed by Tanya Wexler, written by Scott Wascha, and starring Kate Beckinsale, Bobby Cannavale, Laverne Cox, Stanley Tucci, and Jai Courtney. Released on July 22, 2021, by Amazon Studios, the film follows the story of Lindy, a sharp-tongued woman struggling with intense anger issues. To manage her rage, she uses an electrode vest to shock herself into control. Her life takes a turn when she forms a connection with Justin, offering her hope for a calmer future. However, when Justin is murdered, Lindy embarks on a relentless quest for revenge to track down his killer.
The narrative includes a pivotal moment where a detective expresses trust in Lindy, acknowledging her anger management struggles and defending her against societal misunderstandings. This scene aims to convey a message about embracing differences and challenging societal norms, though its impact is somewhat undermined by Lindy’s earlier chaotic actions, such as her reckless behavior in a maternity ward.
Filming for “Jolt” took place in Bulgaria and the United Kingdom, with principal photography beginning in July 2019. The film explores themes of vengeance, resilience, and the complexities of mental health.
