The plot: Nurse Amy Loughren is shocked when Charlie Cullen, one of her colleagues, is foound responsible for the murder of dozens of patients over a period of sixteen years, across two states and nine hospitals, without being charged.
The Good Nurse was Very Good.
Pros: The Music helped make this film both moody and intense. Well Done Eddie Redmayne for doing your best performance along side with Jessica Chastain. I do like how much this subject matter was taking seriously and the opening shot of this film helped set-up the mood for the viewer.
Cons: There were a few skips in-between scenes and some people might find this quite boring to watch.
Cast & Characters:
- Jessica Chastain as Amy Loughren, a single mother and nurse at Parkfield Memorial Hospital, who is also cardiomyopathy patient.
