The Good Nurse Review: Best True Crime Movie 2022

The Good Nurse, which is adapted from a non-fiction book of the same name written by Charles Graeber, is set to be released on Netflix on November 26. Unlike other crime movies full filled with violence, conflicts, and bloody plots, The Good Nurse focuses on an overworked nurse with a severe cardiac condition trying to balance her struggling life between frequent night shifts in ICU and her two young daughters' schooling at the first half part of the movie. It does not show too much about how Charlie Cullen murdered his patients. However, the superb acting of Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne brings Netflix subscribers in a heavy mood and makes them begin to worry about the dangerous position Amy is in.
