Some actors can just do angry.

You get the feeling that it’s who they are. That they live in a constant state of pissed off, ready to blow up buildings and break noses.

Anger is an art. A quality that swirls passion and purpose only to direct them in such a way that we can’t stop watching. Anger is hard to fake, an ingrained behavior audiences can appreciate, a big-screened extreme version of what we’re all feeling.

Kate Beckinsale is another one of those excellent rage-filled beasts. A force of nature that gets top billing in her new Amazon outing, ‘Jolt.’
