Jai Courtney on Jolt and Why Fans Will Love The Suicide Squad

With director Tanya Wexler’s Jolt now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, I recently spoke to Jai Courtney about making the action-comedy. During the fun and wide-ranging interview, Courtney talked about why he wanted to make the movie, how he plays a character that he’s bever played before, what people might be surprised to learn about the making of Jolt, what it was like working with Kate Beckinsale, and more. In addition, he talked about his reaction after watching The Suicide Squad, why fans will love the movie, and his upcoming film, Black Site, directed by Sophia Banks.
If you haven’t seen the trailers, Jolt is about a woman (Beckinsale) with a lifelong, rare neurological disorder, who experiences sporadic rage-filled, murderous impulses that can only be stopped when she shocks herself with a special electrode device that she has to constantly wear. After finally finding a man she trusts, she’s heartbroken when he is killed the next day. As you can probably guess, she decides to embarks on a revenge-filled mission to find his killer. Jolt also stars Bobby Cannavale, Laverne Cox, David Bradley, Ori Pfeffer, Susan Sarandon, and Stanley Tucci.

I just watched the suicide squad and what happens with him and Joel Kinnaman is the main reason why I didn't like it, anyways he's an amazing actor so I might give it a watch to Jolt
