This was a pretty decent made for tv movie. It screams as if it was an Ovary Channel Movie, WE, Lifetime, etc. The acting was good, the plot even better. I would like to have seen a different ending, but the one they did kind of left it open for a possible sequel. If they made one, I would watch it.
I am a big fan of Devin Kelley. She is a natural beauty that can totally make the "Hot" factor work in sweats, plaid shirt and no makeup. Hey, she's a Minnesota Gal and being a Minnesotan myself, many of them can pull that off. Not to mention Big Clomping Snow Boots, a Parka and a Furry Bombers Hat. Devin is a great actress and was really good as Julie Sullivan in the tv show, Frequency that got canceled after only one season. Too bad, it was a good movie and tv show.
This movie is worth the watch if you like a bit of a mystery with your almost love affair type movie.

I watched it last night on TV and it's just like the other reviewers said, an above average TV movie that's worth your time. The 2 protagonists are good and I'd like to see them again in other films. The characters act smart and behave like normal people, the story is well written and interesting, the acting is OK, in a few words give this movie a chance if you like thrillers and you won't be disappointed.
When I was watching Swept Under I constantly had the feeling I was watching a series, one of those televion shows about a couple detectives solving murders and mysteries. There is nothing wrong with that even though it's supposed to be a movie and not a series. But for a TV movie Swept Under is certainly worth a watch. It has a good twist that not a lot of people will see coming, I sure didn't, and that's a good thing, nothing wrong with a good element of surprise to make it interesting. The acting wasn't always on top, but nothing cringing to watch either so that wasn't an issue. Overal it's a good mystery thriller, not good enough for theaters but certainly good enough for a TV movie.

This 2015 film is Canadian and also called "Maid for Murder."
The movie stars Devin Kelley, Aaron Ashmore and Stephen Bogaert. Morgan Sher (Devin Kelley) is a crime scene cleaner. On a job, she finds evidence that the police left behind which may help find the murderer. She works with a brand new detective, Nick (Aaron Ashmore), who has been assigned to the case.
The murder that took place where Morgan cleaned was done by a serial killer, and there is a strange ritual that takes place before the person kills.
It takes Nick a long while to find a clue that can help him.
Very good film but a poor ending that absolutely would not have happened. The story was intriguing nonetheless, part mystery, part a little horror.

The big hurdle in the first twenty minutes for me, having watched Dexter three times through, is they name the lead Morgan and she could easily play Deb in some kind of spin off prequel series. It's extra tough since the movie is all about police work. I keep waiting for Doaks to walk in on a precinct scene. Good flick, slightly cookie cutter.

Morgan Sher (Devin Kelley) is a veteran crime scene cleaner. She's seen it all. On the other hand, it's the first murder case for police detective Nick Hopewell (Aaron Ashmore). Morgan finds a piece of evidence left behind. The lead investigator refuses to look at it as it would make him look bad. Hopewell recruits Sher for help in the serial killer case.
The first half is an inferior cop and civilian duo TV show. There are plenty of those on network TV. Quite frankly, it's a barely fail as a TV movie at first. It's all been done before. The second half does something different. In order to do that different well, it needs to set up the premise a lot better in the first half. I can see many giving up on this movie early. I would suggest sticking with it. I still think the premise needs some work and the production is only slightly better than the general Lifetime movies.

This movie had great possibilities but was fell short by bad acting. In places the dialogue was painful to endure. Watch a different movie if you can.

Impressive for a made for TV movie. This would have done well in a chain of movie theaters and we got to see it for free on TV. What a bargoon!!!!
The overall story is of a post murder scene cleaner named Morgan Sher (Devin Kelley) who gets hired by the local police stations to clean up the blood and brain matter left on walls and furniture from residences after the murder scene is cleared by the detectives, impresses one of the new detectives named Nick Hopewell (Aaron Ashmore).
So the murder scene cleaner Morgan and the novice detective Nick start discussing the murder scene and what may have caused the murder in the first place. Before you know it, the two new friends start finding more dead bodies which seem to all have a few common elements to their murder scenes.
I don't want to spoil any of the better than average story line with its twists and turns but suffice to say the film is well worth watching. In fact I will be looking for it in the future to watch it again.
I love a good mystery/suspense/thriller and SWEPT UNDER fits that bill. i give this made for TV movie a solid 8 out of 10 rating

Another example of a third-rate, low-budget made-for-TV movie from Canadian production company Incendo. Despite fine performances by the lead actors Devin Kelley (crime scene cleaner) and Aaron Ashmore (homicide detective), the film is destroyed midway through when an absurd plot twist undermines the narrative. Rather than describing the event which would be the ultimate spoiler, it is better to advise potential viewers to avoid this TV movie that has been churned out as a purely commercial product to play in markets as filler to be shown at 2 am on Bulgarian TV.
But perhaps what is most disappointing is that there was interesting chemistry between the two leads and that is what draws audiences to follow an otherwise routine murder investigation drama. But any viewer identification with the budding romance between Morgan and Nick is utterly destroyed by the truly sophomoric plot twist. Sad!

Not a real movie here. Go else where.. It's more about a platonic stupid relationship than about a crime movie. A little nice twist at the end but that's it.

Fascinating story, interesting plot twists. Not to mention incredibly brilliant acting. More or less a dark comedy that turns darker. I stumbled across this one by accident and seemed it may prove interesting. Well, it was much more than that. A real pleasure to watch actors actually acting. They make it look easy.
This was actually a really good movie! Def worth the watch! Yes - they could've done a little more with it but it was made for TV and actually a lot better than most!
