Mystery, see IMBD for more detail.  Chastain is in it and Eddie Red....  Really good so far.  Still watching it.

I started it today-just the first thirty minutes and it's really good. Will finish up later this evening. I love Jessica Chastain.

@GenXmuse, We watched this movie this evening.  An excellent movie, and I highly recommend it.  Not a happy story, but very engrossing.

@qualitygal @Thanks for the tip. I knew a lot about Cullen and the story before, but this movie looked at the story from the nurse's angle and was very well done. It's my opinion that the other nurse, that was working on behalf of the hospital's legal and human resources  team, should have been charged with obstruction of justice for not submitting the full list of Cullen's medications from the hospital system and her lying to police about the way the system worked.

I finished this last night and it was very, very good. Both actors did a phenomenal job. I totally got chills when Cullen kept repeating "I can't" over and over during questioning. I wasn't familiar with the story so that was a shocker and don't remember this movie coming out.  I can't believe none of the hospitals were ever held accountable.

I was happy to read that Chastain's character is doing well in real life. She looked so pitiful at times but she went out of her way to do what no one else would.

 

Many thanks for the recommendation!

@Mindy D, We will likely never know, but wouldn’t it be interesting to see a list of hospitals who passed this man along?

Yes, this was good! I don't understand either@PamfromCT how these hospitals could get away with doing that. Why would they put other patients lives at risk? I was stunned when, at the end, it was stated that it was estimated that, over the years, he did this to approximately 400 people. I guess the hospitals didn't want to draw the attention and hoped to avoid any consequences.

Good movie to watch, suspenseful, based on a true story.
