2 out of 5 stars.

Jolt is a bad action comedy film. Lacks the humor and comedic moments. Filled with cheesy direction that tries to keep the energy electric pacing. Plot about a girl Lindy (Kate Beckinsale) who has an impulse rage control which she uses an electric device to keep her anger down. When she finds a guy she may love. And something happens. She goes on a revenge spree to find the bad guys responsible.

Plot is thin. And forgettable. A twist that may be predictable and lacks the surprises. Except for a fun surprise cameo of who shows up at the end.

The action sequences are forgettable. And dull fight scenes with a fast editing scenes put together. Boring music score and dull direction.

Kate Beckinsale is great but her talent is wasted in this action role.

If you liked her in Underworld you will like her it Jolt, simple as that. If you didn't, avoid this, you won't like it.

She basically is just the same in this as in all her Underworld movies and I loved her in all of those. There is not much of a story and it really is a bit farcical, but I was entertained and enjoyed it just for Kate. The addition of Stanley Tucci is a real bonus, he never disappoints. Jai Courtney is OK, but not being a big fan of his, I never really rate him in a movie, this is no exception. Gotta love Bobby Cannavale, he is always fun.

So the end result is, if you like Kate Beckinsale, you will like this, forget all the negative reviews, just enjoy a bit of nonsensical fun.

5.5/10 for me, rated it a 6 as there is no half way.

Kate Beckinsale cranks up the action as Lindy. She has severe anger management issues which gives her incredible strength.

Some experimental contraption from Dr Munchin (Stanley Tucci.) A special vest jolts her to calm down.

All bets are off when a mild mannered goofy accountant called Justin (Jai Courtney) that Lindy dates is killed.

Lindy goes for revenge and finds herself in a conspiracy as two cops are after her.

There is nothing much original here. The twist is easy to figure out. Beckinsale delivers the kick ass action.
