The Good Nurse
Amy (Jessica Chastain) is a single mom/ compassionate ICU nurse with a secret health condition trying hard to keep it all together. Charle (Eddie Redmayne) is a thoughtful, empathetic fellow nurse recently hired. These two bond during their night shifts together. A police investigation over a patient’s death appears to be stonewalled. It becomes pretty obvious early on who to suspect. Suspense builds as there is no real evidence against the quiet & seemingly nice suspect in this crime drama. Anyone could be in danger with this silent killer lurking about. How many patients have been killed? Chastain & Redmayne are excellent. It is a cat & mouse game as the police try to seek justice. Even scarier than this film’s killer, is the fact that this is a true story. True story facts run at the end of the film.
Alien gives it 3 “just breathe” stars out of 4.
