	Author	Review
United States	Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] doesn’t come close to fulfilling even the lowest of expectations; it neither takes it characters seriously nor commits to its superficial attempt at topicality."	NEG
United States	Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	"Slightly more ambitious than anything Willis has attempted lately, this thriller is still pretty generic, taking the most predictable shortcuts and offering few surprises and little to care about (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"It's watchable trash, but more evidence that the serial-killer thriller has nothing left to discover"	NEU
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"The resulting overwrought drama fits the otherwise generic notes of a checkout-aisle paperback plot reliant on a lot of expertly placed luck."	NEG
United States	Mark Hanson Slant	"A turgid Attempt at an ersatz True Detective (...) Rating: 0 (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"Sordid and derivative (...) But 'Midnight in the Switchgrass' achieves its apparent sole goal: being a movie that exists."	NEG
Canada	Chris Bumbray JoBlo	"This is a pretty mixed bag all around, but some of the performances here are good enough that you can tell Emmett had more in mind than churning out a standard DTV thriller"	NEU
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"[It] is the type of crime thriller that’s so full of cliches that it becomes one big cliche itself (…) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"	NEG
