Based on a true story, The Good Nurse exposes the hypocrisy and self-interest embedded in a healthcare system that’s all about profit. A political thriller as much as a criminal one, it digs into the reckless abandon shown by hospitals when it comes to patient care… and how a cold-blooded killer can use that to their advantage.
Charlie Cullen (Eddie Redmayne) is at once a caring friend and a taught, tense oddity. There’s something different about him right from the off, and he carries a nervous tension that’s only ever heightened in the stillness of quieter moments. It’s all about control – to both Charlie and director Tobias Lindholm, who works with long, slow zooms and itching incidental sounds to create a slowly unraveling, deeply compelling story.
Although Cullen is the focus of intrigue, Amy Loughren (Jessica Chastain) embodies the horrific failures of the healthcare system with the quiet discomfort of a woman who’s doing her best. She’s a nurse – a good nurse. And as her own health issues muddy the waters, she unwittingly steps out of the light and into Cullen’s web of deceit. Thankfully, she isn’t entirely helpless.
Chastain gives a stoic dignity to her performance, even in the face of death itself. It’s more than that, though. Amy is a beacon of hope in a world that increasingly proves it doesn’t care. The hospitals are supposed to look after their patients… but with Cullen leaving a string of jobs at various hospitals in his wake, it seems that the hospitals want to cover up what’s been going on just as much as he does. Enter detectives Baldwin (Nnamdi Asomugha) and Braun (Noah Emmerich) – the two cops assigned to one of his patients’ deaths out of a mere formality.
Obviously, as they begin to dig a little deeper, they realize all is not what it seems, but their case often hits frustrating brick walls as the hospital conspiracy closes in. The almost eerie stillness of it all is often punctuated by small outbursts of anger and frustration, perfectly orchestrated by Lindholm for maximum effect. The Good Nurse is a well-crafted, meticulous story that creaks with tension from one scene to the next, and it’s at its best when those quieter scenes eventually reach a roaring crescendo. It's no coincidence that Norwegian musician Biosphere’s slow, pacing score swings between dread and serenity.
The real story is drip-fed to us through smaller details, things you might almost miss… but it’s all there. Much like the real-life Cullen, Redmayne rarely lets his guard down, only showing us glimpses of what lies beneath the stillness in those rare moments in between. Lindholm uses a light touch throughout, giving us looks at Cullen’s grasp for control in smaller, subtle moments: a locked car door, a creaking tension in his hands. Equally, Chastain is always on edge throughout, constantly pulled in several different directions as a result of her circumstances. There’s an undeniable strength within her that Chastain manages to dig deep for, but it’s there.
Lindholm uses Amy’s personal situation to great effect – her struggles with cardiomyopathy externalize her own inward struggles as she wrestles with the mounting reality of what Cullen has been up to. A recurring motif highlights this: the unmistakable sound of an ECG monitor.
The film opens with the sound of a patient flatlining, the ECG beeps punctuating the gravity of the situation, and then later, we see Amy hooked up to one as she begins to realize the truth about Cullen. It’s a neat trick that clues us into her feelings as she puts on a façade to keep Cullen placid, but the best is yet to come. The sound of a car door beep later in the film echoes that same ECG noise… but with a very different meaning this time around, played for stunning effect by Lindholm. Moments like this are sparse but serve to heighten the mounting dread as the script by Krysty Wilson-Cairns drags us slowly and inevitably toward a strangely measured conclusion.
The Good Nurse is a stylishly crafted thriller that peers into the chest cavity of the U.S. healthcare system and tries to work out what’s going wrong. Unfortunately, it’s more of an autopsy, as Lindholm comes to some damning conclusions. A horrific intensity in Redmayne’s deeply unsettling performance offsets the quiet stoicism of Chastain, creating a stand-off between the uncaring system that allows these horrors to happen and the good nurses who only want to help. It’s a slowly affecting thriller that will leave you breathless.

After his December 2003 arrest, registered nurse Charlie Cullen was quickly dubbed "The Angel of Death" by the media. But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster.

After his December 2003 arrest, registered nurse Charlie Cullen was quickly dubbed "The Angel of Death" by the media. But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster. He was a favorite son, husband, beloved father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver. Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history. Cullen's murderous career in the world's most trusted profession spanned sixteen years and nine hospitals across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. When, in March of 2006, Charles Cullen was marched from his final sentencing in an Allentown, Pennsylvania, courthouse into a waiting police van, it seemed certain that the chilling secrets of his life, career, and capture would disappear with him. Now, in a riveting piece of investigative journalism nearly ten years in the making, journalist Charles Graeber presents the whole story for the first time. Based on hundreds of pages of previously unseen police records, interviews, wire-tap recordings and videotapes, as well as exclusive jailhouse conversations with Cullen himself and the confidential informant who helped bring him down, THE GOOD NURSE weaves an urgent, terrifying tale of murder, friendship, and betrayal. Graeber's portrait of Cullen depicts a surprisingly intelligent and complicated young man whose promising career was overwhelmed by his compulsion to kill, and whose shy demeanor masked a twisted interior life hidden even to his family and friends. Were it not for the hardboiled, unrelenting work of two former Newark homicide detectives racing to put together the pieces of Cullen's professional past, and a fellow nurse willing to put everything at risk, including her job and the safety of her children, there's no telling how many more lives could have been lost. In the tradition of In Cold Blood, THE GOOD NURSE does more than chronicle Cullen's deadly career and the breathless efforts to stop him; it paints an incredibly vivid portrait of madness and offers a penetrating look inside America's medical system. Harrowing and irresistibly paced, this book will make you look at medicine, hospitals, and the people who work in them, in an entirely different way.

4 to 4.5 stars A very interesting and shocking story. It is amazing to think that monsters like this could be amongst those who are supposed to take care of and heal us. This book hit home with me a bit more than it might some as I work in health care and deal with the Pyxis system from time to time - which is referenced frequently throughout the book. While it did get a little slow (just a teeny, tiny bit) toward the end, it was still an enthralling investigation into madness. If you think you can

It was money, greed, profits that allowed the nurse to get away with serial killing. The American health care system is first and foremost a business like any other, it exists to make money. Its product is health care. Savings can be made by cutting costs. Less nurses, automated drug retrieval and disposal systems. Untruthful, but vague references to cut the odds of the hospital involving another high-profit business, litigation, when someone is 'let go'. Agencies hire and send out staff without checking on these vague references as they make money on the hours the nurses work or the contracts they get them, due diligence would cost them money. Then there is the great cover up. All the medical staff stick together and deny anything that would get any of them into trouble, not only stick together but get rid of evidence that might incriminate them should anyone manage to get through this monolithic wall of non-disclosure and investigate them. Not many ordinary people, families to patients who died an unexpected and untimely death have either the willpower to persist for years in trying to find out what happened or the wherewithal to employ lawyers to do so. They will get no help from insurance companies or health authorities, neither of whom care about truth, only profits. It all comes down to money. Does this mean it couldn't happen in a country with socialised medicine? Sadly, no. It's the same fear of litigation and medical staff sticking together, even though the profit motif is missing. How do we prevent these mass murderers who move among sick people like they are angels of mercy when they are really angels of death? How do we even know how many there are when everything that might reflect badly on a medical institution or staff is covered up? Good question. I can't think of an answer.

Charlie Cullen, a registered nurse, earned the nickname "Angel of Death". Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history. He ushered so many people into the great beyond he cannot recall most of their names nor faces. Using medication available on the nursing floors, he injected patients with whatever was on hand, forcing them to code. Charlie was hired and fired from more than 10 different hospitals and nursing homes.
