Given that The Good Nurse is based on a true story, pairing Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne for a true-crime thriller sounds like it might be interesting to watch. The Good Nurse, a Tobias Lindholm-directed adaptation of Charles Graeber's 2013 novel, lacks personality, intensity, and depth despite being intensely engaging and occasionally unsettling. It is a typical crime drama that blends in with the crowd.

Amy Loughren (Chastain), a nurse and mother, struggles to juggle her professional and personal obligations while also dealing with a physical condition that could be catastrophic if she doesn't get enough rest. Enter Charles Cullen (Redmayne), a new nurse at Amy's medical facility. They become friends right away, and Amy opens up to him about her health issues and invites him over to see her two daughters (Devyn McDowell and Alix West Lefler). Nnamdi Asomugha and Noah Emmerich, two detectives, are entrusted with looking into what transpired when a patient passes away in questionable circumstances. Amy finds herself torn between sticking up for a friend and acting morally as the evidence starts to point towards Charles.

When turning a genuine story into a movie, it's important to tread carefully. The Good Nurse is a true-crime thriller that feels stale in its approach, even though there will undoubtedly be dramatisations and creative liberties used to heighten tension or improve particular sections of the plot. The title character's real-life wonderful nurse, Amy Loughren played by Chastain, isn't as fully realised as she could be. Although Amy's cardiac problems are highlighted in the movie, they serve more as a plot device to get Charles to help her than as a stand-alone subplot. There is undeniable conflict between Amy and her oldest daughter.

In a movie that attempts to be the same, Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne are, of course, consistently good. Their contributions improve a weak script. charlie isn't immediately evil, which is one of the lovely things about Redmayne's portrayal of him. Although Redmayne's character may have killed several people in real life, his performance occasionally comes out as gentle while still having a considerable deal of perplexity. Redmayne plays charlie to the point where one would start to doubt his involvement in the killings even in situations where the audience might anticipate charlie to strike (there is one particularly tense scene between him and Amy that could have gone that way).
