Review of Jolt (2021) by Akilax — 29 Aug 2021

What a disappointment.

Considering the budget that was available for this movie, the result is an utter failure. The writing is just horrible with both the story and the characters seeming like early attempts at a movie by some college students.

In a lot of scenes you have to sit there and realize how the plot and characters are completely incoherent. I honestly expected that there would be a superhero reveal at some point, because the punishment Lindy (Kate Beckinsale) can dish out as well as soak up, is way beyond what any human being could. Her condition does not explain it at all.

It's a shame that Kate Beckinsale wasn't put to a better use than this. But also many of the other actors would have had a lot more potential than what they were allowed to show here. It is sad to see that the director didn't have the first clue as to what to do with them.

You'll be needing a lot of booze to enjoy yourself with this movie, as it offers nothing above average and even only a few moments reach a level of mediocrity. I recommend you skip this movie entirely.
