Lindy is a beautiful, sardonically-funny woman with a painful secret: Due to a lifelong, rare neurological disorder, she experiences sporadic rage-filled, murderous impulses that can only be stopped when she shocks herself with a special electrode device. Unable to find love and connection in a world that fears her bizarre condition, she finally trusts a man long enough to fall in love, only to find him murdered the next day. Heartbroken and enraged, she embarks on a revenge-filled mission to find his killer, while also being pursued by the police as the crime’s prime suspect.

Critics Consensus

In spite of a crackling premise and a star who's always ready for action, Jolt never manages to deliver much more than a mild buzz.

Starts great and you are expecting a fun movie about a female superhero. After 50 minutes or so it's just a C-movie.

Kate Beckinsale is hot and carries the movie. The rest is rather not to mention. The plot one dimensional and predictable.

I don't know why the reviews were so poor, when I compare it to the last half dozen movies I watched, I love this so much better. I at least found it extremely entertaining and fun. Frankly I find strong protagonists female Heroes extremely attractive.:-) I consider this a not to miss movie.

Just slogged through this one. Terribly predictable. Awful writing, weird out of place sexual jokes. Hella boring, can't believe I made it all the way through.

Too bad, Beckinsale deserves better in this one.

Like fun, wacky action comedies? Give it a shot. Are you a woman whose hormones have pushed your anger levels into a realm where you feel you can't control them? This film might speak to you - as it did to me - in surprising ways.

Rated: 3.5/5

Tribune News Service

"Jolt" isn't prestige cinema, but it is far smarter than its exploitation trappings. Wexler and Beckinsale truly make a meal of the gender flip that is sending a woman to wreak bloody havoc in revenge for the murder of a sweet, nerdy hunk.

Rated: 3/4

Jolt didn’t need to fizzle out so quickly as it did. The potential was there, but the execution wasn’t. Oh well. Here’s hoping the potential sequel is better.

Rated: C-

Keith & the Movies

You can’t really get caught up in plausibility with a movie about a woman running around in an electrified vest shocking herself to keep her anger in check. You just go with it and have a good time.
