Per the credits, filming took place in Bulgaria and the United Kingdom.Lindy is an acid-tongued woman with rage issues who controls her temper by shocking herself with an electrode vest. One day she makes a connection with Justin, who gives her a glimmer of hope for a shock-free future, but when he’s murdered she launches herself on a revenge-fueled rampage in pursuit of his killer.At one point, a detective demonstrates a great deal of trust towards Kate Beckinsale’s Lindy by saying he doesn’t think she would hurt him or the child passenger in the back seat (the kid was ejected from classes and sent home for releasing the school pet outside) of the police cruiser. It’s Jolt‘s key exchange meant for a character to express his understanding of her anger management condition and explain that the world has her wrong for mistreating her differences. Considering society has a habit of holding down strong women, not to mention anyone that doesn’t fit the mold of normalcy, the message is clear and noble. However, it rings hollow and absurd factoring that 15 minutes ago, Lindy was in a maternity ward tossing newborn babies across the room, hoping that her pursuer on the right side of the law would catch them and be distracted from continuing the chase.
