It’s a functional piece of exploitation — an efficient little crime-porn snuff-thriller potboiler. It’s like a fast-food meal that makes you think, “Okay, that wasn’t good for me, but I got what I paid for.” A film like this one is a junk-franchise burger: tasty, processed, and basically fake.
Hirsch is good, albeit a bit over-the-top. As is Fox, especially when busting Willis’ balls for being too much of a “coward” to take the risks she’s only too willing to tackle. And Haas is probably the best of them all as the monster hiding in plain sight.

Report
(Mauro Lanari)
On the end credits, the debutant Emmett thanks Scorsese and it is the most surprising moment of the movie, in which Willis by now acts only sitting, inexpressive and embalmed, ad Megan Fox shows off her incorrupt beauty wanting to make us believe she is an expert in Taekwondo. Pure garbage.
Report
There isn’t a shred of originality or inventiveness to be found anywhere in the DNA of Midnight in the Switchgrass, but the performances from Fox, Hirsch and Lukas Haas as the unnervingly creepy and very murderous Peter are deserving of much better material. That being said, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a modern era Bruce Willis effort, even if he’s barely in it at all.
Although the film's narrative is passable at best, it struggles to maintain any momentum due to uninteresting characters and predictably bad writing.
The atmosphere is thoroughly sleazy without being distinctive, and everything about the movie — the emotionless line readings, the half-baked back stories — exudes a terse functionality.
Midnight in the Switchgrass is the type of crime thriller that’s so full of cliches that it becomes one big cliche itself.
Randall Emmett’s directorial debut is virtually indistinguishable from the scores of cheap VOD action thrillers that he’s produced to date.
One of the worst crime movies ever. Seems like nobody who worked on it gave a crap about it. The editing is the worst ive seen in a while with continuity issues and annoying cuts everywhere. No cinematography to speak of. Bruce Willis doesnt act in it at all he just sits and talks like a robot. Story is not interesting at all.
Report
I should have known not to waste my time. Bruce Willis seemed to have stopped caring about the quality of his work a long time ago. Half of his shots were the back of his head, as he obviously didn't stick around to add any value.
Shoddy directing and dialogue.
Only thing good about the film is the title.
