It's awful, but at least it is one of my favourite kinds of awful film: so awful it's a triumph.

3/5

The schlock factor increases with every passing frame, but at least it's never boring, though whether it needs quite so many shots of Vanasse's unclad breasts is doubtful.

The story moves like a bullet (more dumb perhaps than dumdum), but I enjoyed it.

Starts well but the whole things gets increasingly preposterous.

An uninspired, sub-Hitchcock effort.

A French Canadian action movie with the evil mastermind hellbent to destroy her artificial insemination generated half siblings. Most of the action happens in the shadow of Eiffel Tower where the heroine has come to spend calm vacation time. There are many chases on foot where people with sedentary jobs jump down from buildings and continue uninjured. Believability is very low but it provides good entertainment. Good photography. On Tubi. When I screened it the audio was dyssynchronized and came about 2 seconds before the visual.

Flawed, silly, and probably forgettable- but hey if you liked the Net and Enemy of the State - this is worth watching then. I liked it.

I didn't know that this film was in French when I bought it. Anyway it gave me a headache reading the subtitles and trying to follow the 'running around' at the same time ! And trying to figure out the plot ? Cantona was ok but lacked sparkle. It started off well, but became too unbelievable. Give it a miss.

It exaggerates and it doesn't work.

It was thrilling and exciting most of the time, but at the end it turned out that the plot is pretty lame...:(

Eric Cantona may not have the panache in front of a camera as he does on a football pitch, but Switch is still an enjoyable - if rather silly - Franco-Canadian thriller. Anyone want to swap homes for the summer? Non?
