I read the Good Nurse five years ago and I consider it one of the best true crime books that I have ever read, and I have read well over three hundred of them. Charles Cullen is the good nurse in question here. The lunatic worked at several hospitals and a nursing home, leaving a trail of death behind. Finally, after fifteen years and a number of untimely and suspicious deaths, one courageous nurse voiced her feelings to a pair of tenacious detectives. A Catholic priest was one of Chuckie's murder victims and after being exhumed, the good reverend had a high level of the heart medication Digoxin in his body. The recordings of Cullen are riveting and I only wish that more of them had been used in the film. I highly recommend both the book and the film.

No pun intended - I have a lot of respect for certain jobs. When it comes to the medical area ... well I couldn't imagine myself doing what some people are doing. I really respect that and everything they do. There are exceptions and you can only hope you never encounter one of those. You only meet them once would be one thing to keep in mind - also no pun intended. The fictional movie they did about this is quite good. So I knew the main points of the "story" and what had happened. Of course reality was not as "exciting" in certain areas as the movie depicted it to be. That being said, it does not need to be. But if you only watch one of the two movies, I suggest you watch the other one ... no offense.

Truth may be stranger than fiction, but in the case of this documentary, it's an improvement. Serial killers have been a compelling subject for dramatization since Hitchcock's "Psycho," at least in American popular culture. But the fascination dates back to Jack the Ripper, and even farther back to the Middle Ages. This year it's Netflix's recent portrayal of the "good nurse" killer, a dismal excuse for biographical adaptation. It might have been worthwhile if it had offered new insight into horrible events, portrayed compelling emotions, or delved into human nature. The result could have been interesting, even entertaining, like a thriller. This documentary accomplishes all of this with no convoluted plot and contrived performances. The actual killer, Charles Cullen, is a far more chilling and impenetrable human being than the one portrayed by Eddie Redmayne. Cullen's matter-of-fact delivery as he explains the motivations that lead him to kill patients and his almost childlike self-possession are unnerving. Redmayne is a good actor, but his choice of intonation and nearly comatose performance failed to capture these real qualities. With straight-forward story telling and genuine emotion, this film imparts unimaginable horrors all the more frightening because they are so credible.

Just watched the dramatized version of this true story called ''the good nurse'' , the story about killer-cullen, the male nurse that couldnt narrow himself to mercykillings at the bedside in hospital icu's, well here is the complete story in form of a documentary, well made and well excecuted. What made this man do these actions will be scrutinized for ever, and i cant find anywhere in the material that his actions where done to gain materiel wealth come out of it, which has been a pattern in other killer doctors and killer nurses incident in the past century... definately a loose screw, but still an ethical dillema that health care personel often faces, was it the one dose per doctor prescribed of 5 mg of subcutaneous morphine that pushed him/her over the line??? So working in the health care is really a matter of life and death, and where transparacy and documentation is alpha and omega in servicing and protecting the patients. The grumpy old man liked this far more than the dramaflick issued in late october.
