Review of Swallowed

Swallowed (2022)
2/10
Utterly ludicrous tosh
9 April 2023
I'm amazed with myself for watching this right to the end. And I'm kicking myself too. That's why it gets two stars instead of the one it actually deserves.

The storyline was weak and full of holes - if I can see them, why can't the people giving ten-star reviews? Then the acting, lol. Mark Patton playing demented fairy queen Rich was a hoot. He was the opposite of menacing. One could have found better in an amateur dramatics club. Jena Malone was pitiful as the hardnut dope runner.

Cooper Koch and Jose Colon playing Ben and Dom respectively were better and seemed to have some rapport between them. I get why Koch was chosen as the one to be the one breaking into adult films, but for me, Colon was far sexier.

As for the action, whole segments were lost in boringness where attempts to raise tension laughably failed.

Regarding the ingested substance which gives rise to the name of the film, the premiss is so far away from reality that it loses the viewer.

A low budget failure that I wasted time on so you don't have to now that I wrote a review.
