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...
