The Good Nurse debuts in select theaters on Oct. 19, and streams on Netflix on Oct. 26.
Based on a true story, The Good Nurse exposes the hypocrisy and self-interest embedded in a healthcare system that’s all about profit. A political thriller as much as a criminal one, it digs into the reckless abandon shown by hospitals when it comes to patient care… and how a cold-blooded killer can use that to their advantage.
Although Cullen is the focus of intrigue, Amy Loughren (Jessica Chastain) embodies the horrific failures of the healthcare system with the quiet discomfort of a woman who’s doing her best. She’s a nurse – a good nurse. And as her own health issues muddy the waters, she unwittingly steps out of the light and into Cullen’s web of deceit. Thankfully, she isn’t entirely helpless.
Chastain gives a stoic dignity to her performance, even in the face of death itself. It’s more than that, though. Amy is a beacon of hope in a world that increasingly proves it doesn’t care. The hospitals are supposed to look after their patients… but with Cullen leaving a string of jobs at various hospitals in his wake, it seems that the hospitals want to cover up what’s been going on just as much as he does. Enter detectives Baldwin (Nnamdi Asomugha) and Braun (Noah Emmerich) – the two cops assigned to one of his patients’ deaths out of a mere formality.

Based on a true story, it’s a terrifying examination of systemic failures, not to mention a wild cover-up from self-interested hospitals. A creeping soundtrack and long, lingering zo...
