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

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 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!
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.
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.
