Kill Switch

This movie had the potential to be fantastic. Sadly it failed. Script was dreadful, characters were shallow and why a director would put his star behind the camera, with just voice over, for 80% of the movie is beyond me. I admire Dan Stevens and really wanted to like this but instead struggled to finish it.

Tries to look like a FPS game. Storylines are tissue-thin.

Rented out of boredom, but was blown away by story and cast.

Holy cow! What a slow moving disaster. I love Sci-fi like probably most of you who have seen this. But the science was neither too far out nor too probably. All that tech for energy for one country (which country was it?). The camera perspective of the protagonist, from his view in which you never see him from outside is, of course, an interesting technique, and has been used, but here with little success. The reason is that there was almost no continuity in plot, nor character development. There was a kind of digression into a video game perspective (when shooting drones from the rear of the jeep). Dang. So I spent ten bucks for an early view of a film that probably won't be fully released anyway. So it goes. Skip it. There is a lot of stuff out there you may have missed. Check the websites dedicated to the genre and match up with reviews. Or, what the hell, drop a dime and be the first. It's not really that big a deal. But one star for this baby. es

It's not what I thought it would be at all. It was like watching a video game and it's really poor quality as well. The idea was good but for a real movie. Don't waste your time or money.

I wish the movie would show that its majority shot in the first person perspective. My vision makes me nauseas when watching something like that or trying to play video games of the like. Watched about 15 minutes and had to cut it off to avoid getting a severe headache. :(. Looks like a good movie otherwise. Wish I hadn’t spent 10 bucks to watch it.

This movie could have had so much potential but its runied by using mostly a POV of the character like its a video game. It also chops and changes between the past and present and nothing is explained about what is actually happening until near the end. There is no structure to the way the story is being told and the ludicrious amount of times the character survives what would be probably kill most normal people is just stupid. I like dan stevens and I did only watch this for him but it comes across like he only done this for the paycheck and by using a POV of the character he only had to do the scenes when hes on screen and just recorded the rest of the movie in a booth

Another failed attempt to mimick 'first person' video games in a movie proves the style is not successful. This show is terrible, predictable, and frankly annoying wtih the same reoccuring segments of 'a one dimensional theme, crisis, action, crisis solved', and over and over and over. If you've ever watched someone play a shooter game, you've been more entertained than what you will find watching this movie. The most I can say is that you will be curious for about the first 10 min before the show and acting becomes unbearable. Pass on this one. You'll have more fun washing your dog.

It's as infantile and ridiculous as playing video games.

Could have been a 5 star movie. Yet it's still a 4 star POV gameplay story. It's completely fine tuned and creative. If you've played a lot of first person shooters and role playing games, you might get a kick out of how they paid attention to and echoed the fine details, such as the movements of the lead character peeking around the corner "sort of" and nobody sees you, and then the dumbed down female sidekick that is often staring at you waiting for your decision to go do something, waiting for your sidekicks to get through the doors before continuing on. The actors played these parts well. It felt a bit like watching a Halo movie with fan created filler gameplay spliced in. Only, again, it was well done. But the constant "you're injured, seek medical attention" and dumb stares and conversations oh so Half life2 and Fallout, and oh especially the concussed visuals and sounds..the nearby explosions and left over ear ringing...uh so annoying...clearly a reminder of the hours we've all spent in the Battlefield series. Hey, it's a good story and that kept me watching even though I was tired of feeling concussed all the time. I would like to now read the book or watch the real movie, maybe with alternate ending options.
