User Reviews
I am thinking that those giving this movie such poor reviews are those that are comparing this to the likes of a Marvel movie, or a Fast & Furious movie. Yeah, its not the best movie ever, but I can think of a lot more ways to spend an hour and a half. Start watching to be entertained and not to compare it to other big screen movies and you will enjoy.
Fmovies: Kate Beckinsale, star of the popular Underworld series of movies, has come up firing blanks in this one, a sorta female version of the Jason Statham actioner, Crank. With a plot and effects reminiscent of an 80s TV movie, and a dreadful script and dire performances from everyone involved, Jolt is unremittingly awful from start to finish. And the one deadly fault for movies such as these - it's boring and there's not enough action, and whatever action sequences they are are poorly executed. We understand Becky needs a new action franchise, but this isn't it. Skip this one.
I gave this a chance, but I switched off after 43 minutes. Tried little too hard to be funny when it wasn't. Poor production, weak script for such a good cast which doesn't do them justice.
Jolt fmovies. Laughed out loud at some of her triggers. I found this movie to be highly entertaining with KB at her best in action scenes. She was awesome.
It's a semi-dark, action comedy with an incredibly sexy leading actress. So wtf do the uptight prudes who dissed this film expect? If you're going to give this film a go do it with an open mind, without expectations, and it might keep you pleasantly occupied for 90 minutes or so.
It is very puzzling that there are a number of very negative reviews with "1" or "2" ratings. I suspect those didn't even watch this movie. Look at the distribution of ratings, most are in the "5", "6" and "7" categories. It definitely is not a "1" or a "2".
Beckinsale is great as the young woman who battles with impulse control, and with her great strength and speed can wreak lots of havoc if she is so inclined. She uses a self-administered shock ("jolt") to keep herself from following through when something agitates her. Most of the time. It should not be taken any more seriously than an action comic book, not everything has to be plausible. Plus there is an interesting thread of a story there. Did you know in war they taught dogs to go towards enemy tanks, with a bomb strapped to them?
But it is mostly hilarious with inventive situations and inventive dialog. But caution, the language is often really hard-R rated. It isn't a great movie but as fun entertainment it definitely hits the spot if you are in the right mood
My wife and I both enjoyed it, on Amazon streaming movies.
