#Jarring editing and pacing that feels like 3 movies, each with a
different director, intermixed but conflicting in both scenario and
method.
#The south-east Asian cast are suitably over-dramatic, charming their
way to redeeming their British companions embarrassing awfulness.
Andy Lau is as charismatic as ever, miraculously melding together the mishmash of
properties.
#Huge, colourful and artistic sets and settings. Awesome shots and
production values but the absence of good juxtaposition nearly
nullifies the beauty on show.
#The convoluted story is crippled by distinct lack of skill, authenticity and
believability, leaving Switch feeling old fashioned (90's) but with
modern production tools and techniques in use.
##Warning: this film features blonde Asians in roles of supremacy.

#Irresistable white guy goes round killing on contract trying not to
get himself killed by a chinese badass. For those who play COD, think action web-series' are good and
liked 2012's Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning.
#The swiftly paced story is gripping but predictable with interesting
characters that could have been a little more fleshed out, the
chinese badass antagonist is the star of the show. Complimentary
soundtrack is rough but spirited.
#The acting direction of the Thor lead and his damsel is the worst
thing about this film redeemed by amazing scenes of masterfully cut
violence that have an imperfect but awesome sense of realness.
#Although often charmingly amateurish both in performance and staging,
we are in the modern age of film making and this is not a bad movie
for its b-action genre. Contract Killers was Cool with some seriously
moments of brilliance, you may enjoy it.
#Steal in HQ or buy for cheap.
