Fred Topel Can Magazine It's actually kind of funny how they put a quick insert of Seagal's face in a shot where some dude shot from the back is wailing on a guy in front of him, completely obstructing the action. The kicker is when they have him dub one liners over it. Oct 3, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

William A What is this movie about. Five horseman, the one shot they use 500 times during the fight scenes. Phile Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Christopher J this film has so much terrrible cuts it ruins the film but it has decent action and a better plot than his usual films Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Adrien C Worse than Attack Force. Also has the worst editing and most obvious body doubles Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review William D This is absolutely one of the worst films I have ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review camille l A une époque, Steven Seagal parvenait à écrire des scénarios qui réussissaient à rendre ses DTV acceptables, voire même bien, comme Into The Sun. Kill Switch n'est clairement pas Into the Sun, car cette histoire de serial killer traqué par un flic aux méthodes dangereuse est abominablement mise en scène, particulièrement mal écrite et surtout affreusement mal jouée, que ce soit par les no-names qui peuplent le casting, mais aussi par Steven Seagal, apathique et pire, par Isaac Hayes, qui s'offre deux ou trois apparitions lamentables. Rien n'est à sauver dans Kill Switch et cela devient une mauvaise habitude chez Seagal... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's one of those moments where you know it's a bad film, but it's very entertaining. Despite dodgy editing to make certain scenes trying to look more effective, the over the top violence done by Steven Seagal when he takes on the bad guys makes up for it.
