Why Does Charles Confess to Amy in The Good Nurse?
The film inspired by the spine-chilling true story of a serial killer who is famous as the “Angel of Death” indeed keeps you at the edge throughout. The Good Nurse is based on the 2013 book written by the journalist Charles Graeber, The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder. It renders the murders committed by a nurse, Charles Cullen played by Eddie Redmayne’, throughout his 16-year tenure as a nurse practitioner. The outstanding direction of A War and The Investigation director, Tobias Lindholm along with the praiseworthy screenplay of 1917 screenwriter, Krysty Wilson-Cairns succeeds in creating a riveting crime thriller.
Jessica Chastain as Amy Laughren plays the role of a nurse in the Parkfield Memorial Hospital (originally the Somerset Hospital) who is trying to find the felon when patients start mysteriously dying on her floor. After observing the continual absence of Charles when the patients died and his withdrawal of medicines from the PYXIS MedStation leaving no evidence behind, her hunch on him intensifies. Later after persistent research of Charles’ backgrounds by Amy, she comes across his weird medicine orders and abnormal surfing history, which strengthens her suspicion.
