Kate Beckinsale transforms into killer blonde on hunt for revenge in first look at new movie Jolt
KATE Beckinsale looks fierce in the first look of her new movie Jolt on Amazon Prime Video.
Underworld star Kate, 47, is returning to the action world playing a woman with anger issues and is out for revenge.
The new film Jolt was directed by Tanya Wexler and written by Scott Wascha.
The cast also includes Bobby Cannavale, Jai Courtney, Laverne Cox, David Bradley, Ori Pfeffer, Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci.
The plot centres around a beautiful and sardonically funny woman named Lindy (Kate Beckinsale), with a painful secret.
Due to a lifelong rare neurological disorder, Lindy experiences sporadic rage-filled, murderous impulses that can only be stopped when she shocks herself with a special electrode device.
Unable to find love and connection in a world that fears her bizarre condition, she finally trusts a man long enough to fall in love, only to find him murdered the next day.
Heartbroken and enraged, she embarks on a revenge-filled mission to find his killer, while also being pursued by the police as the crime’s prime suspect.
Talking about her character, Kate told : “My character, Lindy, is someone who since childhood has had an impulse control problem whereby she has a very difficult time not acting out and behaving badly when under pressure.
"She is in a weird spot in her life where she is living in an apartment where she's not got any things that she can throw and no knives and forks. She was a bouncer, and got fired, and is just desperate.

“She finds this experimental therapist who rigs her up with this sort of electrically-shocking vest, which is a sort of turbo equivalent of an elastic band on the wrist, that works with varying degrees of success.
“As part of her therapy, she goes on a date and really gets on with the guy, and then he's murdered.
“She's understandably upset and pissed off and tries to figure out what's happened and gets into a lot of scraps!"
Jolt is available to watch on Prime Video on 23rd July.
