is this movie good?

Ofc we know he is the bad guy from the beginning but I spend almost two hours to get why. And? Eddie is an amazing actor, Jessica is but in this movie does not gives her best 2 hours for understading a murderer and all is 2 minutes and nothing that gives a true explanation. Boring as hell. Thanks God is not a movie I went to the cinema. I even wondered why the movie was even made. If you know he is mean and a killer why spend 2 hours? I thought I will get inside a killer's mind and I was totally left with 0 understanding. Netflix is in bankrupt. No dounts on why. It is a plot that does not discover anything to the viewer if you followed news at the time.

The two leads are excellent in their roles and Redmayne deserves particular praise for his portrayal of a serial killer who committed his crimes as if they were just an ordinary part of his professional life. People like Cullen and Shipman, medical professionals who killed hundreds of people, are just unfathomable to ordinary people because of the enormity of their evil and Redmayne captures the mundane manner of Cullen's crimes which, like Shipman's, seemed to be just something they did at work in the same way most of us decide to tidy our desk or have extra sugar in our coffee. This kind of madness is beyond ordinary comprehension so it must be very difficult to portray. It's done very well but I'm not sure we get any insight into what drives such people to do what they did. Chilling, indeed.

It always adds to the viewing experience when a movie is (accurately) based on disturbing real life events, and that's what makes this Netflix slow burner so much more compelling. Of course it also helps when you get two Oscar winning heavyweights in Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne as the two leads, and unsurprisningly, these two legit A-listers are absolutely brilliant in this one. While the story largely focuses on the lives and relationship between two ICU nightshift nurses, what it's really about is the greed, self preservation and insanity of the money obsessed American healthcare system, where the mantra is very much "profit over life". It's this underlying theme coupled with the fact that mass murderer nurse Charles Cullen (Redmayne) was responsible for up to 400 hospital murders (but charged with just 29) that keep you gripped and in a state of shocked disbelief as the film slowly progresses. Eddie's portrayal of Cullen is aptly understated, creepy and foreboding while Chastain's Angel of mercy whistleblower is steely strong, compassionate and right on the money. A shout out as well to the rest of the small supporting cast who also do a stellar job. Yes it's dark, dour and slow moving but the artistry and true life events on show here overrides all this - it's a must-see movie folks, because let's face it, this type of harsh reality relates to us all in one way or another. If you are lucky to have a free, integrity based healthcare system count your blessings... you should after watching this! Heartfelt recommended viewing.

Eddie Redmayne is just effortlessly portraying a wide variety of characters but not nearly as many as I would like to see. His performances are always outstanding and this performance to date is my favourite for Best Actor. Eddie and Jessica carry what seems to be a not so thorough look on the serial killer that is Charles Cullen. Very basic and shocking story carried by a powerful lead performance. I recently just finished Dahmer and this was the perfect come down from what was one of the most thorough portrayals of a seriel killer I've seen on television. Highly recommend The Good Nurse and a solid 8/10 from me.
