Deadly Switch

This movie is good to watch on a really boring day. And I mean last resort, bottom of the barrel, last thing in this world to watch on Netflix type of day. I don't have any words to describe this movie... besides crazy.

First of all they can't even agree on the title of this train wreck. It's hard to know who is to blame for such an inept film as - whatever it is called. I guess we should hold the director responsible. Somehow she managed to cast actors with no acting ability or even personalities. The lead does have great eyes, so perhaps that's what was important. But with a screenplay this contrived I don't think she had much to work with in the first place. Truly horrid.

I threw this on and at first thought oh it's like a bad Lifetime movie. Well, I've done those before and sometimes they're good. NO. Lmao. This was SO bad. Lol. The plot was all over the place, it was boring up until 20 minutes left to go, and the whole thing was just a mess. It was truly a waste of two hours lol.

I didn't think it was as bad as the 1 and 2 star reviewers. It kept my interest and felt like I was watching a movie on the Lifetime channel. I thought the ending was odd, but overall, it was OK.

There's a lot of disparaging remarks about this movie already so I'm the devil's advocate from the get go.

Whilst this movie isnt' going to knock your socks off, I think it brought back some of the things I've missed in thriller movies - a proper ending, no major fantastical plot holes that would have stopped the entire movie from starting, no poor character backgrounds required to explain why the characters are acting suspicious. I think it's biggest drawback is that the very blurb tells you that something is going to happen, so you're sitting back, just waiting for it.

I get the feeling that the creators were going for "lets go for a straightforward thiller thats B rated" and in that way I think they achieved it effectively. If you seriously expecting something more from a blurb that starts wtih "In this indie thriller..." then you were misguided from the start.

Don't get me wrong, there ARE plot holes, there are wierd story twists but compared to so many crappy thrillers being released, the standards have dropped a bit so this one makes the cut in my books.

Is it worth a watch Netflix? Definately. Is it worth watching with a group of friends seriously? Only if you all love the genre. Am I being kind? No, there are a rediculous amount of lazy thriller movies out there now that don't even bother having an ending or hope their cheesy special effects will impress. These creators came with a goal in mind and achieved it.
