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.
