Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

t-boost Total waist of time ,,,, Segale ,,,, You are overrated

michinine Oh my. Seagal had his share of duds, but this movie is just too much. Seagal plays this cop that sees things that other don't, behaves like a professional even over focused on his job (and with a mumbled accent) - and on the other side he is the worst in action sequences ever seen (and he has an obvious unlimited supply of handgun clips).He not only hunts down one serial killer, but suddenly there is a side plot with a second one, which sometimes becomes the first one. Plus there is a female FBI agent that probes his "over aggressive" cases. And his "wife" that feels unattained. Did I mention the same flashback about something in youth that is probably played 10 times? The plot goes in so many places that you wonder what is really going on. Then the action scenes: they drag on, as if (just for example) someone falls down five stairs hard one after the next - and still has the power to fight for minutes. I also wonder where this city/place is where this movie is located: it looks and feels like a grim place without hope and every second guy is a sick madman; with a police force thats is clearly clueless and useless.Seagal gives his usual wooden performance and the others just drag by. Isaac Hayes is a nice touch, but wasted. The most embarrassing thing about this movie is: Seagal wrote it himself.3 of 10. If you really need to watch a direct-to-video movie from Seagal, grab one of the newer Keoni Waxman. They make - at least - sense and are way less confusing.

Leofwine_draca KILL SWITCH deserves one minor commendation for attempting to do something that many Steven Seagal films don't: feature a semi-original storyline. Instead of having Seagal battling various gangsters, terrorists, thugs, kidnappers or whatever, this one sees him on the path of multiple serial killers as he attempts to stop them from killing again. Ultimately, it makes not one jot of difference because it all boils down to our hero beating seven shades out of various bad guys, but at least the thought was there.Sadly, as you might expect given the star's track record as of late, the execution sucks. At least there's none of that stupid inappropriate music from the last Seagal film I watched (DRIVEN TO KILL), but there are massive problems stemming from the ridiculous doubling in the fight sequences (and the voice double's back, to boot). The film obviously came in under the scheduled running time so one fight, early on, is extended to ludicrous lengths just to pad things out. It's also noticeable that the violence is among the most extreme of the star's career, as Seagal goes about literally torturing the villains. Expect plenty of that gloating sadism that our beloved censors here in the UK used to regularly cut out (but don't seem to mind these days).Still, violence does not make a good film, and this is definitely bottom of the barrel type stuff, featuring a storyline you'll struggle to make sense of and poor Isaac Hayes cameoing in what would be his penultimate role. In one respect the film's worth watching till the end, though: the out-of-left-field ending, featuring some gratuitous nudity and one of the cheesiest eyebrow-raising moments I've ever seen from Seagal. If that doesn't make you laugh out loud, nothing will.

Paul Andrews Kill Switch is set in Memphis where a serial killer known as the 'Grifter' has struck four times in a month, his latest victim being a prostitute named Jessica (Holly Eglington) who has been found brutally beaten to death. Veteran homicide detective Jacob King (producer & writer Steven Seagal) is on the case, the FBI send in agent Frankie Miller (Holly Dignard) to assist & oversee the investigation. Each victim has had strange astrological marks carved into their skin & Jacob is convinced it's some sort of coed or message that he needs to break. Meanwhile a killer named Billy Joe Hill (Mark Collie) has been released after a legal appeal & sets out to take revenge on Jacob who put him away, now with two cold blooded killers on the loose Jacob must use all his experience to stop them...This American & Canadian co-production was directed by Jeff King & despite getting a universal trouncing on the IMDb I thought Kill Switch was one of Seagal's better more recent attempts at trying to make a film, sure it can't come close to Under Siege (1992) but it's a hell of an improvement on crap like Attack Force (2006). Also written by Seagal I assume Kill Switch was meant as some sort of dark gritty serial killer thriller in the vein of Se7en (1995) & while it doesn't even come close to that I did quite like the story about a tough cop with a troubled past hunting down two serial killers. Seagal struts his way through the film & beats up just about everyone he meets, there's no real need to have several extremely violent fights in a serial killer thriller but I guess it's a Seagal film so there has to be some fights. The plot twist about one of the serial killers framing Jacob is underused, the character's are thin & it's not revealed until the very last few minutes that Seagal is actually married with two kids, the prologue which sets up a family tragedy goes nowhere, some of the clues that Seagal follow up & use are tenuous & are boring with no great twist's or turns but as a dark action thriller I thought it was alright. At just over 90 minutes long the pace is alright, there are no long stretches of dull exposition & there are a few good moments here.Again, despite what I am reading here on the IMDb I also think the fight scenes are better than the recent Seagal films with some pretty brutal fights including slashed wrists & throats, people being kicked out of third storey windows, arms & ribs broken with hammers & a nastily sadistic scene in which Seagal knocks a man's teeth out on the edge of a counter as a form of torture. There's not too much shaky hand-held camera crap so you can always see what's happening & while the editing is a little choppy at times I've sat through worse. Besides the fights there isn't that much action other than a shoot-out.With a supposed budget of about $10,000,000 this was set in Mephis but filmed entirely in British Columbia in Canada. The production values are decent enough, it's reasonably well made if you discount the obvious body double for Seagal during some of the fight scenes. The acting isn't great & Seagal mumbles his way through his lines as usual but the rest of the cast are alright, musician Isaac Hayes turns up a few times as a coroner.Kill Switch isn't a great film but it's better than most of the crap from Seagal of late, it's better made with a more brutal & dark tone & even tries to throw in the odd plot twist or two even if they don't amount to much overall. Better than I expected but hardly a classic.
