Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
As it zigs and zags, its plot unravels rather than tightens, and its curveball of an ending is bound to leave audiences feeling as double-crossed as some of the characters.

rotten:
You've got your duplicitous blonde, a briefcase full of money, the hapless patsy, the angry cop, the loose cannon and the speeding train. Everything's so in order that you could doze off and catch up with the plot within seconds of reawakening.

rotten:
It's enjoyable enough, but low on novelty, beyond the stark beauty of the sun-bleached Outback landscape.

rotten:
As the title of "Swerve" suggests, there's a lot of driving, and cars and characters veer, though never far enough for either to arrive at some place, some narrative, that's remotely new.

rotten:
The story is uninspired, Lyons looks lost, and Booth makes for a bland femme fatale.
