Based on the true story of New Jersey nurse Charles Cullen, who allegedly
killed hundreds of patients by secretly giving them lethal intravenous
overdoses, “The Good Nurse” is a true crime drama. The film is based on a
book by Charles Graeber from 2013 called “The Last Patient,” which details
the final shift Cullen worked as a nurse before being arrested by police
with the help of his coworker, Amy Loughren. Loughren (Jessica Chastain),
who courageously cooperates with the prosecution to convict Cullen (Eddie
Redmayne) for his medical crimes, takes center stage throughout the film
rather than the culprit.
