The worst kind of science-fiction film: the kind that coasts on a central gimmick instead of delivering either visceral or intellectual thrills. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 06/15/2017
Imagining the imminent end of the world has been boring for years now in movies, and the low-budget sci-fi thriller "Kill Switch" is no exception. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 06/15/2017
A pointless gush of science-fiction bilge. Go to Full Review
Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review 05/08/2020
Stevens and the other actors are quite good, but the film doesn't quite match their abilities. Go to Full Review

The parallel world created in Kill Switch may not be devoid of life, but it might as well be. Go to Full Review

There is something fascinating in this film, but it can't make up for all that's wrong with it. Go to Full Review

Rick O Jan 28 Color me confused. I understand dropping into the middle of an folding story but this was a middle. A little explanation, unneeded plot complication. Look, I knew, when the opening scene was a little kid, the story was in trouble. A lot of it felt like "build your own ending" ... interesting premise, all over the place, little context. Not worth trying to unwind the tangled skein, Felt like a good miss See more Greg H Jan 9 It plays like a video game as stated, but personally found it fairly original. Only thing though, no corporation would build or buy weaponry with such lousy accuracy. See more Patrick M 07/02/2023 first two minutes, this looks good. then 5min in...forget it! its all over the place, clumsy and its concept and characters frankly are stupid See more Spikecat @Spikecat 05/11/2023 It's an epic film, with a great plot and cast! See more A1985BP A 02/18/2023 Interesting story, a good idea, well made but not without mistakes. but the plot of the movie compensates for some of the visual experience. See more 04/22/2022 Tutto è estremamente confusionario ed è presente una serie di elementi che non sono spiegati e che vengono gettati nella mischia solo per creare confusione. Non c'è un solo secondo in cui la trama ed i personaggi siano chiari, e a rendere tutto ancor più difficile c'è lo svolgimento su due diverse linee temporali (assolutamente non necessario). Eppure sicuramente vanno premiati gli ottimi effetti speciali realizzati, piuttosto originali e molto ben eseguiti; e la coraggiosa scelta di svolgere la quasi totalità del film in prima persona, in stile videogame; tentativo poco cinematografico ma sicuramente apprezzabile una tantum.
