Two dates in, Lindy - who has spent most of her life in a state of rage - is a goner, head over heels, a new woman. He’s just nice, and even Lindy can recognize the value of that (even if it means the waitress on their first date steps all over him, leading Lindy to, quite literally, step all over her). Lindy doesn’t like to date, but Justin charms her with unexpected ease. Still, the vest works, and she’s trying to be a good girl. Enter: mild-mannered accountant Justin (Jai Courtney, saddled with unfortunate eyewear). It all bothers Lindy, often to seismic effect. Wexler and Beckinsale do find moments of absurd amusement when Lindy - an outsized character, to be sure - comes up against everyday annoyances: The man-spreader on the train, the jerk screaming at an innocent valet, the crying babies.

'Finch' Review: Tom Hanks, a Dog, and One of the Best Movie Robots Ever Fuel a Sweet Post-Apocalyptic Road Trip When Lindy feels her emotional temperature rise, she gives it a little push, which leads to a little buzz that hopefully zaps her back into relatively normal shape.
That’s where the electrode vest comes in, which Lindy controls by way of a handheld buzzer that resembles a particularly chic garage door opener. Tucked inside the voiceover (by Susan Sarandon, whose very appearance, even via voice, indicates she’s here for a reason beyond pages of bad exposition) are a few important tidbits: Lindy’s condition was exacerbated by bad parents, stints in mental hospitals and the Army did nothing to dispel her condition, and she’s recently undergone a “shocking” treatment in hopes of curbing her impulses.
