The seller was fast and accurate in his descriiption. Customer Rating: Summary: Ouch... lost potential Comment: Ouch this was bad........... The story premise started out pretty good, the film production had a professional look........ BUT....... that is where the good news stops. Everything else about this film was horrible and destroyed the potential this had to be a good film. For example... 1) What was with the choppy editing ? This over-used visual effect is annoying. We see the scene chop-edited end to end like a skipping record. A guy get thrown out a window and we see him break thru the glass - thru the glass - thru the glass - thru the glass in rapid succession. Almost every action scene uses this edit. 2) Did any of you notice that Steagal was NOT involved in any of the action scenes ? A double was used for all the action/fight scenes and they edited in still shot close-ups of his face every 10 seconds to 'trick' the viewer into thinking it was Steagal... but it was very obvious as they kept using the same 3 relaxed facial shots over and over regardless of where he was located in the room, background, or what position he was in during the fights. 3) What was that accent ? Cajun meets the Godfather ? it was so forced and faked that my wife and best friend watching the movie started laughing so hard they begged me to turn off the movie because they couldn't stand it any more. Steagal has certainly had some good films (UNDER SIEGE near the top) and some of his Direct to Video movies have been good entertainment.......... but Kill Switch was simply horrible ---- Although it COULD have been good if it was done seriously and not treated in a comical, campy manner that made it silly to try and watch. We gave up 50 minutes into the movie and ejected it.... we could not take any more. Customer Rating: Summary: 3 stars from a fan who has seen every Seagal film Comment: It's interesting to note the very even rating distribution for Kill Switch. As most Seagal fans know Seagal's had big screen days but now is in the Direct-to-Video (Direct-to-Download) days. Kill Switch is nowhere near as good as some Seagal earlied big screen flicks such as Above the Law, Out For Justice, or Under Siege. However it doesn't come close to the horrors of The Patriot, The Foreigner or other very lame DTV efforts. Kill Switch had a different feel from most other Seagal films. It was more of a Thriller but still had a lot of action. The production quality was decent. Unfortunately Seagal's mumbling makes it difficult to understand what he's saying. Also the fight scenes were filmed/edited in such a way detracting from what were some decent fights. The one other bad thing about Kill switch was the somwhat convoluted plot and subplot. The main plot involves the search for a serial killer. The subplot involves the escape of a killer whom Seagal's character had caught. Another distraction was Seagal's character's numerous flashbacks to his childhood. Finally there is a totally bizarre ending in which Seagal leaves his job in Memphis and ends up going 'home' to a wife and two kids in some Spanish speaking country. To top it our man Seagal has to throw in a little gratuitous sex (his wife flashing her breast and enticing him into the bedroom) to close the film...totally bizarre way to end an otherwise decent film. For a Seagal film I'd give this 4 stars. It's actually a 5 star Seagal direct-to-video film. However for the purposes of Amazon I give it 3 stars. Customer Rating: Summary: Mumble, mumble, watch a career continue to crumble Comment: Well, I just sat through "Kill Switch" a film so poorly done, the main character can't even be sure if he's Jacob King or Jacob Stillwell (see prior reviews). It is a shame that Steven Seagal has gotten so out of shape, and resorted to stunt doubles to take his place in the fight scenes, since his earlier films were certainly enjoyable as action films ("Above the Law" and the "Under Seige" films in particular). Despite the inconsistency of his direct-to-video output, I had continued to hope for some quality in either plot or action. Alas, no such luck here. The editing is atrocious, with jump cuts that make each fight scene headache inducing. The logic of a detective beating each suspect within an inch of his life is as specious as the logic of the first killer surviving a push out a fourth story window to the asphalt below. Even when you wade through the film, you're left with a closing sequence which makes no sense unless it was mistakenly edited into "Kill Switch" from another film. Maybe that's the significance of "Switch" in the title; perhaps this was actually a preview of his next film, which features naked Russian starlets seducing Steven. And Memphis looked a lot like Vancouver, where the film was shot, which was at least better than Romania or Slovakia. The other negative reviews have covered most of this, but I do have to mention one point of interest. The dialogue is difficult to understand in places, so I switched on the sub-titles. Amazingly, in a number of places, instead of explaining the difficult-to-understand lines, the subtitles state, "Inaudible," or "Audio." Even the post-production crew couldn't understand what was said, and apparently lacked a copy of Steven's script! Lawd have merca!! Customer Rating: Summary: Love Seagal Comment: As always, Steven Seagal doesn't disappoint. I realize he uses the same formula over and over, but it works for me. I'll be in line for the next one.

Detective Jacob Stillwell (Steven Seagal) is one of the most celebrated homicide detectives in the country. His brutal delivery of street justice is legendary among the men and women of law enforcement. But on this latest case, he may have finally met his match Lazerus, a cunning and perversely violent killer who is on the loose and terrorizing the inner city. Stillwell s desperate pursuit of Lazerus takes him into the dark, depraved Memphis underworld of street sex and senseless violence.
