Leave your thoughts about Kill Switch.
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Kill Switch" doesn't summon dramatic thunder, but it stands up relatively straight for a genre picture, working to find character while it indulges first-person pandemonium. |
| Film ThreatBradley GibsonIt's not deeply cerebral cinema by any means but it is 90 minutes of kinetic edge-of-your-seat fun. |
| Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpGranted, the film might not have turned out much better had Smit stuck with one perspective or the other, but at least it would have had constancy. Instead, it reads strictly as a video game, sans the requisite interactive gratification. |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpIt's either puzzling or vexing, and either way it's plain old disappointing. |
| Film Journal InternationalAndré HerefordA visually ambitious, convoluted muddle of gamer-influenced science fiction. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsIndie sci-fi film Kill Switch is the worst kind of science-fiction film: the kind that coasts on a central gimmick instead of delivering either visceral or intellectual thrills. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsTravis HopsonThe action level is never quite as high as it should be to justify the first-person view, and so it feels too often like we're watching somebody play an RPG, which is boring as Hell. |
| Slant MagazineChristopher GrayDan Stevens navigates the film’s literal and thematic alleyways with the same enthusiastic befuddlement that convinced many to soldier through Legion‘s more impenetrable stretches. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikIt looks fine enough, but looking fine enough can't be the extent of an entire movie. |
| VarietyScott TobiasHad Smit developed his themes as scrupulously as his visual effects, Kill Switch might have been the next “Primer” or “District 9,” but instead it feels like a demo reel for a game that nobody can play. |
