Jolt
Kate Beckinsale plays a young woman with impulse aggression control issues. Her psychologist has prescribed an electronic shock harness that Beckinsale self initiates in order to reset her thinking when she finds herself annoyed enough want to damage someone. When the guy she has dated twice is killed, she goes on a revenge warpath to avenge his death, finding out lots about herself and her situation along the way. Mostly following the action/revenge formula, but uses the shock harness and background story to good effect, and has a consistently sharp comic like color theme throughout (think Dick Tracy or Hotel Artemis). Nice summer action that surprised me with how enjoyable it was.
