But it’s also an important addition to a new approach to the crime genre.” Another review from Rotten Tomatoes by James Luxford said, ”Some scenes are laid on a bit too thick, such as Amy’s introduction as someone that goes above and beyond, as well as a third act that wanders into melodrama. However, overall the Good Nurse is a taut thriller that draws you to the edge of your seat.” Luxford rates it a ?.
