    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Midnight in the Switchgrass' is a generic thriller with a largely negative reception. The film is criticized for its reliance on clichés, predictable plot, and lack of originality. Performances by Bruce Willis and Megan Fox are deemed lackluster, while Emile Hirsch and Lukas Haas are praised. Direction and script face criticism for poor pacing, disjointed scenes, and unrealistic elements. Despite these issues, some find the film watchable due to suspenseful moments and certain performances.

    Just another run-of-the-mill crime thriller...

    I just sat through the 2021 crime thriller "Midnight in the Switchgrass", and I must say that while the movie definitely was watchable, it was ultimately just a very generic crime thriller.

    Sadly so, yeah, the storyline and script in "Midnight in the Switchgrass", as written by Alan Horsnail, just didn't offer anything new to the crime thriller genre, and it was actually a rather predictable and generic formula that was used to construct the movie. So you knew the outcome early on in the movie actually.

    This movie does have some good names on the cast list, but the movie was carried primarily by actors Emile Hirsch and Lukas Haas. The movie also had Bruce Willis and Megan Fox on the cast list, and I must admit that I was initially lured into watching "Midnight in the Switchgrass" because it had Bruce Willis on the cast list. But it turned out that he didn't really have all that big of a role to play in the movie. Now, a lot can be said about Megan Fox, but I think she actually managed to do a good job in this movie.

    "Midnight in the Switchgrass" is a rather slow paced crime thriller, which makes certain aspects of the storyline feel prolonged and slow.

    I sat through the entire movie, and yeah, it ended exactly as I predicted it would early on in the movie. So nothing overly surprising to be experienced here from director Randall Emmett.

    My rating of "Midnight in the Switchgrass" lands on a very mediocre five out of ten stars.

    Misleading subpar thriller

    Featuring Bruce Willis on the cover and given top billing, we come to realize that isn't the case. As he is in a smaller supporting role. Emile Hirsch is essentially the lead here, along with Megan Fox.

    This film is quite lazy, with bad writing, average acting and quite slow at times. It does get better in the second half but also the conclusion feels a little rushed.

    Watching this film reminded that of the tv series True Detective, but nowhere near the level.

    Cant think of any positives

    Not a good movie. Not even a good TV movie. I am not even sure why I voted it 3 maybe I feel generous today.

    Incredibly amateurish

    A terrible film with a terrible script and unbelievably bad performances. Bruce Willis is in it and considering the sad revelations about his health I forgive him. I can't forgive the rest of this nonsense, though.

    Like others here, I should have known better ...

    From the very beginning, Midnight in the Switchgrass promises the feintest GLIMPSES of brilliance. These glimpses, unfortunately, are so random, sometimes subtle and mostly so unsure of themselves, they die out much too soon, and we are left with a film that implodes under the weight of trying to accomplish that which it realizes pretty soon, that it can't.

    One of the main and apparent reasons it cannot, is the inclusion of Bruce Willis in the cast. In 2021 alone, I believe there were 6 or 7 films that had Willis floating around in them, and each one was made worse by the very limited number of minutes he actually appeared in them. The poor guy is renting his name out for peanuts and delivering lines with less verve and conviction than that which he uses to order a Latte when he's unsure of how he wants it. Seriously, without gunshots, burning buildings, or explosions, Bruce was never a scene-stealer to begin with, and recently, it's worse than that. By now, it should be a well-established fact that Bruce Willis is there for a paycheck which he will reward with one or two blank stares and a few mumbled lines.

    The second reason, is that the name Megan Fox implies bad-to-mediocre acting at best, so most people will tune in for her face (which once was glorious until she self-sabotaged it to lesser-so), or her body. That is really a shame because quite surprisingly, Fox delivers a pretty great performance and believable interpretation of her character. In fact, I think it may be one of her best-acted roles.

    Emile Hirsh, who I have only seen in a couple of other things, has never disappointed and does not disappoint in this - that is, WITH WHAT HE'S GIVEN - which is unfortunately, not enough.

    The random glimpses of great, are not enough to elevate this film to "good".
