The Hollywood icon’s charisma helps keep this overly complicated drama compelling as it goes off the rails The post ‘Kill Jackie’ Review: Catherine Zeta-Jones Charms in Convoluted AMC+ Thriller appeared first on TheWrap .
In the AMC+ series "Kill Jackie," Catherine Zeta-Jones stars as Jackie Price, a woman whose high-profile past resurfaces, putting her current life as an art dealer in jeopardy. Amy Adams plays the assassin tasked with eliminating Jackie, who is immediately drawn to her target. Zeta-Jones's charming performance and Welsh accent help keep viewers engaged despite the convoluted plot and muddled stakes.
The series, based on Nick Haraway's novel, features a star-studded cast including Oscar Jaenada, Hattie Hook, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Sidse Babett Knudsen, and Daniel Ings. These characters all have their own agendas and motivations, making the story a labyrinthine mess. While Jackie deals with her past and potential new enemies, the show's action-packed episodes feature intense violence and explosions.
Despite the show's style influences from Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, some viewers might find Jackie's glib attitude makes it difficult to care about the outcome.
