while it's not always as sharp as it could be, the energy in “Jolt” never falters, and there are definitely amusing bits; in a just half-successful, feminist action movie, she [Kate Beckinsale] sparks joy
played by Kate Beckinsale, the heroine of Jolt is one of the most unbearable and fraudulent action leads in aeons - an all-smirking, all-cursing ladette relic on a life-or-death crusade that doesn't add up in any respect
it's electrically entertaining; Kate Beckinsale is a likable protagonist with anger management issues and Stanley Tucci is her psychiatrist in this fun action-comedy; Altogether, this is flyweight fun
for a film built on the wild concept that bonafide action bad-ass.., this film [is] so lethargic; “Jolt” should work, or certainly have a bit more pop than what lands on the screen, but there's no spark here, no zip, no zeal; just dead batteries
an electrifyingly enjoyable action thriller; "Jolt" is a darkly funny action-thriller that places the incomparable Beckinsale at the center of the action and is entertaining from beginning to end
Amazon's "Jolt" is the best kind of joyous action-thriller trash; "Jolt" is unabashedly silly, sloppily written, and overly reliant on the likability of Kate Beckinsale, Stanley Tucci and Jai Courtney. But it's also a breezily entertaining
a limp, derivative revenge picture; in “Jolt,” it's missing that rousing charge; The plot.. is extremely predictable, and therefore boring, and the film doesn't do enough with its high-concept shock-therapy conceit to feel fresh or novel
"Jolt" is not a terrible film, which is certainly not to say it's good; The screenplay by Scott Wascha also leaves more questions than it answers.. the [film's] inconsistencies pile up in frustrating fashion
"Jolt" is a perplexing mix-up of genre and intentions. From one scene to the next, I had no real understanding of where the film might go next – but instead of anticipating the unpredictable, I came to quickly dread the arbitrariness
