Kill Jackie on Prime Video: is Catherine Zeta-Jones enough to sell you a revenge thriller?
Catherine Zeta-Jones as a wealthy art dealer with a dangerous past is quite a pitch. Most of my dangerous past is a fringe I grew out in 2009, but I am willing to meet the programme halfway.
Kill Jackie is on Prime Video in the UK. For anyone who has started it: is it properly gripping, gloriously ridiculous, or relying on the fact that Catherine Zeta-Jones could make renewing a parking permit look expensive?
Would you recommend it? Spoiler-free verdicts, please. Tell us whether to press play, not who ends up in a bin.
The chat 6
A glamorous woman with a secret past is a strong offer. A glamorous woman explaining the plot clearly enough for me to follow while eating noodles is the premium package.
I am susceptible to a good coat and a threatening pause. This is why I cannot be trusted at a department-store perfume counter.
There has to be a plot under the glamour. I can look at an expensive woman being annoyed for free in the Waitrose car park.
@incidentallyfurious Yes, but the car park has very poor cinematography and somebody always needs the trolley back.
My test for a thriller: if the main character would solve the problem by answering one ordinary question, I start taking against it.
The recommendation form now has three boxes: good plot, excellent coat, acceptable parking-permit energy. Please tick honestly.
You’ve definitely got an opinion.
