Kill Jackie Review: Catherine Zeta-Jones Stuns In AMC+'s Cinematic Revenge Thriller
Catherine Zeta-Jones is the beating heart of Kill Jackie, and the show itself knows that well. While any adaptation of the Truhen novel would have to focus itself tightly on the central character, in the book's case a man named Jack Price, the way that Kill Jackie manages to do it is a genuine feat. From the first moments of the series, all eyes are on Zeta-Jones' Jackie, and it's rare that it makes much sense to look elsewhere. Embodying a character who's openly mysterious and, at the same time, grounded in who she is, Zeta-Jones puts on a masterclass.

22 Movies We Can’t Wait to See at Sundance 2022
On a plantation in Georgia, Alice (Keke Palmer) is forced to toil away, suffering alongside fellow slaves. When she manages to run away, our hero emerges from the woods to find…cars whizzing by her on a bustling highway. It is 1973, over a century after the abolishment of slavery, and Alice, naturally, would like some answers. If you’re like us and still feel burned after last year’s horror movie Antebellum, you may be wary of returning to this type of material. But we’re curious as to what writer-director Krystin Ver Linden has up her sleeve with her debut feature…
