The plot (written by Steven Seagal himself) is hectic, with strange turns and flashbacks; fights and chases are too long and lopsided, acting leaves a lot to be desired (with the exception perhaps Isaac Hayes as coroner). Clichés become annoying soon and there are several ridiculous and unreasoned scenes and depictions, i.e. a maniac in strings... And the very ending, oh - probably the silliest Seagal ever had! Political correctness together with the attempts to widen audience did not give any fresh look either.Thus, Kill Switch is rather bad, but not so bad that it could be just "enjoyed" and mocked in a bigger company in front of TV. And, having seen his 2 latest movies, I cannot agree with those thinking that Seagal must be totally written off - Born to Raise Hell and Maximum Conviction are significantly better played and written. So avoid this one and see something else of him :)

Thats it, no more seagal movies from now on. The last quality movie he was in, was 'half past dead', i think. ever since then, his movies spiraled right down the drain. occasionally, i've watched a promising title, only to find myself disappointed again! kill switch is really a ... well, i'm lost for words. this could very well be THE worst movie of all time (and i have watched 'retrograde', so you know i'm not kidding). i really wanted to warn movie-optimists from this and found, that there are already enough adequate descriptions from other users. believe every word of it! if you think a movie can't possibly suck that bad...think again.consider yourself warned! ;-)

I was a devout Steven Seagal fan for years but his recent movies are major disappointments.To begin with, Seagal is looking increasingly like he's missed too many visits to the salad bar. His face is red and puffed up like a blow-fish and you don't even need the slow motion function to see that he is now simply incapable of doing his own stunts. The fight scenes look very suspect and the supposedly clever camera angles fail miserably in convincing the audience that the much leaner and agile stunt man is in fact Seagal. The plot is weak an his pistol never runs out of ammo.This is daylight robbery. Seagal is getting paid to act and as a paying customer, I am expecting to get my money's worth. Instead, what I get is an over-sized action hero who looks out of breath even when he's talking on the phone - never mind fighting using a stunt man.His low-budget, straight to DVD films receive poor reviews and yet he continues to have a loyal following. Its time he demonstrated his appreciation to his fans by shedding the pounds and giving them what they really want to see; Steven Seagal using his graceful Aikido moves to kick butt.

Don't get me wrong because I like Seagal! I like the way he beats the living hell out of the bad guys, it gives me a warm satisfying feeling. Unfortunately; though, it's been going downhill for this actor. I remember Nico, Hard to Kill and Marked for Death, all of which were top of the notch Seagal-stuff but even so neither of his titles are quality products worth Oscars or emmies and there's not much to say about the plot because anyone can join at any given time of the film and still be able to figure out who the bad guy is and what's going on. In his movies Seagal is either married or divorced and sometimes (most times) he even has children, all of which are exposed to danger from the second they're introduced until they either die or the bad guy dies.Kill Switch is no different from the description above and for 96 minutes you'll be exposed to heavy duty-assaults and forensic investigations, lots of fighting, lots of shooting and indeed lots of bodies but NO BLOOD!!! On numerous occasions Seagal is in a fight with 1 or 2 guys that are in for their worst day ever (or so it would seem). Seagal punches really hard but there's no blood to be seen and once it does actually come out it's gone as soon as they roll on to the next scene. The entire movie is like a deja-vu experience because every time Seagal throws the bad guy into a wall (or something similar, and it happens a lot) they show that scene repeatedly for 3 or 4 times. Then there's the shooting, I never seen somebody aim that bad! Seagal empties 50 magazines without even hitting once!Point being, if you're a Seagal-fan you're probably in for a disappointment. It lacks a lot of that originality his titles used to have back in the 80's and 90's...
