I've seen waaay worse lifetime moves. This one held my interest but I really don't know why "the guy" didn't just calmly exchange bags with the mother "Jennifer" in the beginning..I guess they just needed a reason for the movie to keep going.

Formula movie, yet mostly entertaining

Some of the things are ridiculous...watching this mother run all over the city carrying a purse and a suitcase, never once needing to stop to drink water. LOL
Why are cops always so stupid and slow to believe the protagonist? Also, how does a bag come off the luggage carousel and there's not one tag from the airlines that links it to a passenger?
Still, fairly entertaining and fun to watch how crazy this mom is to run all over town. This actress must be a runner, because she certainly got a workout in this movie!
Certainly makes one think about how important it is to make sure we pick up the right bag off the luggage carousel at the airport...and to pay attention when we're pulling our bags.

No matter how stupid the premise is of these tele-movies, they just keep churning them out, formulating these nonsensical plots and filling them with ham actors. This is really a dumb movie from start to finish.
This roller-coaster ride of stupidity starts when our "star", Jennifer, and the antagonist, Connor, picks up each others bags at the airport by mistake. Yes it can still happen as apparently human beings still haven't realised that they manufacture multiple copies of the same styles of luggage, and a black bag is in no way unique. Anyway, once they both realise their mistake, you'd think it'd be a relatively easy process of just swapping the bags over but then we wouldn't have the rest of this train wreck to look forward to. As such, Jennifer is contacted by Connor and he talks a little "weird" for her liking so instead of meeting up with him, she arranges for the airport to pick up his bag so she doesn't have to deal with it, and that ladies and gentlemen is the only common sense thing in this whole stupid plot.
At some point the airport picks up the bag, however Connor still believes that Jennifer has it and in order to get the bag back he kidnaps her daughter Katey while pretending to deliver flowers and holds her for ransom until he gets his bag back. The rest of the movie has Connor turning into a poor man's Jigsaw, masterminding these games by having Jennifer run all over the city to various places, needing to find a hidden mobile phone all within a certain timeframe or Katey dies. The 2 detectives that Jennifer talks to are nothing more than a pair of bungling idiots who at first don't believe her story about bag switching but when Jennifer's ex-husband is killed by Connor, she's now prime suspect so this untrained and desperate woman is running all over town to places she's never been AND successfully managing to avoid a city wide police search for her all at the same time. Also a woman carrying a handbag, and a suitcase can somehow still outrun and outmanoeuvre trained police.
Through all this, Connor's bag he's so desperately after is patiently waiting for him at the airport. A single call to them and the problem solves itself, so this overly elaborate scheme with kidnapping, disposable phones, and getting Jennifer to prove how she can follow instructions need not have happened at all. Eventually Jennifer and Connor come face to face at Niagara Falls, where Jennifer is waiting with a fake bag in exchange for her daughter. Connor finds out the bag is fake, but can't do anything about it as the Detectives show up, shoot him, he goes over the falls and we all get to have a Merry Christmas.
It turns out there was 50 Million in fake bonds hidden in the lining of the bag. How that managed to get through airport security, especially these days is anyone's guess but if we get bogged down in details then there's no point in watching movies ever again. But one the biggest plot holes in the history of stupid movies is, if you know that there's that much illegal cash & bonds hidden in your suitcase, wouldn't you make doubly sure that you had the right bag BEFORE you took it off the carousel and left with it? Wouldn't you want to grab it first before someone else does and have some unique way of identifying it as yours? I can tolerate some stupidity in movies for the sake of propelling the story along in the name of entertainment, but when a movie is foolish from the get-go and the ensuing events seem to be made up on the spot without any real sense of continuity then there's no point in watching and it is with this. Give it a miss.

The usual TV movie, devoid of interest
Leofwine_draca2 June 2016
Fred Olen Ray continues to make cheap and cheerful B-movies and his latest, KILLER SWITCH, is no exception. Sadly, this is very much a pedestrian thriller rather than one of the goofy sci-fi or horror movies that he's known for. It stars ageing TV movie star Jamie Luner who accidentally picks up the wrong suitcase at an airport and thereafter finds herself pursued by a vengeful madman.
The plot is nothing to write home about, so the success of a film like KILLER SWITCH lies in the execution. Unsurprisingly, it's rather horrid, because this is a TV movie, so there are no real thrills, spills, or excitement, just lukewarm, watered-down writing. The script is cheesy and the acting even cheesier. Luner isn't too bad as the protagonist although her acting looks better merely because everyone in the supporting cast is so bad.
The amount of unbelievable situations in this film is difficult to keep track of; one of the best/worst scenes is when pursuing cops give up chasing Luner after she climbs a gate to escape them. Who knew she was such a wonder woman? Fred Olen Ray is on autopilot in this one and aside from including a cameo for his old favourite Debbie Rochon, KILLER SWITCH has nothing of interest for his fans - if there are any!

The movie started out ok but once Jennifer got to the hotel , things went downhill. Why did she answer the phone and react that way? She didn't know who it was. I swear the acting was horrible. A real lifetime network movie I tell you . So predictable and why do the women have to be so dumb and obvious. She was acting really stupid and the scene on the train. OMG, I cannot. That was absolutely horrible. Who robs people for a suitcase with a switchblade. Then the police smh. This makes you wonder about law enforcement. The worse 90 minutes of my existence! Just unrealistic period!!!
Showdown at Niagara Falls!
lavatch4 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
In "A Mother's Courage" (a.k.a., "Accidental Switch"), one of our favorite actresses, Jamie "Lifetime" Luner plays Jennifer Clarke, a devoted mother who will stop at nothing to save her kidnapped daughter.
The excitement builds for Jennifer's daughter Katey, who is about to graduate from Carmouth College in Buffalo, New York. Her mother and father have arrived for commencement. But everything is thrown into disorder when Jennifer picks up the wrong suitcase at the airport.
A plot hole the size of a pothole from the Rust Belt exists in this film. After Conner kidnaps Katey and phones Jennifer to return the bag, all Jennifer needed to say was that she left the bag at the front desk of the hotel to be picked up by airport personnel. To retrieve his bag containing $50 million in bonds, all he needed to do was return to the airport and claim it.
Instead, Jennifer faces a race against the clock in order to meet the kidnapper's sadistic demands. Jennifer's race across the city allows the filmmakers to showcase some great location footage from Buffalo, including the AAA ball park, the museum, and the aquarium.
But all roads lead to Niagara Falls! It is there that the showdown takes place where Jennifer will defy all the odds to regain her daughter. The amazing Jennifer was still in recovery from her divorce and a minor breakdown. It was unfortunate that the kind father was collateral damage in the film. Completely on her own, Jennifer is given some good advice by a kind waitress, who tells her that she can only rely on herself in times of crisis.
Jennifer rises to the occasion to defeat the forces of evil with a bug bomb and her powerful inner resources. Only a little setback in the life of the stalwart Jennifer Clarke!

KILL ME NOW!!!
suzyhair22 January 2019
It had nothing to do with anything.
Worst acting ever!!
Wouldn't even call it acting. Maybe a 5 ring circus of waiters and waitresses.
A true delivery of ridiculous role play thst absolutely calls for a Peptol Bizmo . Id rather have been thrown down a flight of stairs at the Empire State Bldg.
Geeeeezzzz
Silly Plot !!
carolynocean27 March 2021
Ok , I know its just a movie , but, for heavens sake, did any one of them think to put a personal sticker/ coloured string on handle , or anything to make your own bag recognisable to you in an International Airport !!
Or, why did she not just exchange the bag , when he contacted her in the first place , so what if she thought he sounded suspicious ? She would have got her bag back, he would have got his , problem solved !
Its just such a silly plot that I found it hard to take anything seriously after that.
Watchable , but not great .

There are many ways to approach a film like this but if you know what you're getting into and why then you could end up enjoying A Mother's Revenge. But like any review or opinion it's all subjective. One man's treasure is another man's trash. All I really want when I watch a movie is to be entertained-period. Sometimes that entertainment comes in the form of watching the flaws or poking fun but it is all in good nature. The creative process is a personal one and when actors/filmmakers put themselves out there the response can be most brutal. So while this may come across as negative, cruel or just downright mean it couldn't be farther from the intention. This "review" is more of just an opinion on why you may or may not enjoy this movie...and a way for me to say why I did.
What I took away from A Mother's Revenge: Jamie Luner can outrun pretty much everyone (at least everyone in this film).
When a 40-something year old milf yoga mom discovers that her daughter has been kidnapped by some mysterious, accent-challenged (more on this later) man said mom throws on her running shoes and races to rescue her daughter...in the nick of time (although I do believe there was never any set time limit but that's neither here nor there!)!
Despite all the obstacles in her way, our heroine (played by the milfiest of milfs and Lifetime staple Jamie Luner)has to not only save her daughter but deal with a douchy ex-husband, inept law enforcement officers, annoying desk clerks and pasty-faced, middle-aged thugs. Her biggest challenge though is being made to run random and meaningless errands for the kidnapper while using the daughter's cell phone. That's basically the whole film in a nutshell. The rest is filled in with Jamie Luner running from location to location. I was quite impressed with all the cardio they had her doing. My legs were tired just watching that. I often thought it would save a lot of wear and tear on her shoes if she just flagged a cab down or something but maybe that was something the bad guy frowned upon that they didn't include in the movie? One might never know. Speaking of the kidnapper-bad guy I could not figure out where he was from. In the beginning I sensed a touch of English to his blood and detected a slight British accent. But much later on in the film he took on a very noticeable southern twang. This confused me. Was he using this to throw off his captive and her mother perhaps? Or maybe he couldn't remember which accent he was using? Maybe there was a last minute script change during filming? It boggles the mind!
Highlights (for me) include: -Jamie Luner running -Seeing legendary scream queen Debbie Rochon -Fred Olen Ray (screenplay & directing) -Jamie Luner taking a punch like the best of 'em -Various accents used for no apparent reason -Jamie Luner punching villains in the face -Jamie Luner doing her own stunts (running, climbing fences, falling) -Jamie Luner kneeing a subway thug in the family jewels. -Did I mention Jamie Luner running - breasts bouncing and swaying to and fro?
Oh, speaking of Jamie Luner running. One of my favorite scenes was when she was outrunning the detectives chasing her. Finally after scaling over a fence one of the soft, doughy detectives says to the other, "That woman runs like a deer!" as the other replies, "She's running for her life." While this hilarious exchange went on I was not blind to the fact that they might have actually apprehended her if they were in halfway decent shape. But when they ran to the fence they stopped and just stared at Jamie running by with no attempt to climb it...you go, girl!

Plotholes, The Movie!
talentest26 April 2024
This movie is just too stupid to review so I'ma just bulletpoint a...
List of Ridiculousness:
NO ONE BOTHERS TO COMMUNICATE effectively: ...The bad guy could've just called the airport about his lost bag like she did and he'd have gotten it back without issue (instead of calling her directly pretending to be an aggressive TSA agent).
...Or when the mother is concerned that someone's been in her room and the ex-husband asks her what is she not telling him, she makes no mention what-so-ever about the luggage mix-up along with the aggressive unknown phone call inquiring about the bag in her possession.
...Or once the mother learned that the airport had already recovered the bag, she could have either gone to retrieve it again or inform the bad guy of where it was to go get it himself and leave her daughter alone.
...Or why did the bad guy even bother to kidnap the daughter and kill the dad in the first place? He could've just confronted the mother directly once he learned who she was and where she was staying. Had he done that he would've learned that first night that the bag was just downstairs at the front desk.
THE INCOMPETENT COPS who immediately dismiss the mother's story because they received a phone call from someone claiming to be her ex-husband just HOURS EARLIER...yet somehow, upon learning that her ex-husband was just murdered the NIGHT BEFORE, the cops now suspect her of murder?!
...What about the phone call they received "ONLY HOURS AGO" from the ex-husband (they now know had died the night before)? They're not suspicious of whoever that was posing as her dead ex? Or why? Not suspicious, at all, of the imposter's motives for calling ahead only to inform them not to believe anything his ex-wife will say?
'THE SCAVENGER HUNT' around town he had already prepared for her; what was the point? And when did he set that up? Didn't he just fly into town the night before like she did?
...There's $50 Million in that bag, wouldn't getting that back ASAP be his only concern? Not whether or not she arrives at some random destination at some arbitrary time (lest he kill her daughter thus ensuring he'd never get his $50 Million back). Who knows what all matter of things could happen to the bag while he has her running around town like a nut?
SO VERY CONVENIENT how she could always happen upon the secret phones hidden at these huge locations (like the Museum and an Aquarium) within a city she is a stranger to.
Ultimately... everything that happened happens only so the movie can happen to happen.

There came a point where I covered my eyes cause the writing was so bad. Ugh, it's so bad I don't even know where to begin.
I cringed so much and really felt bad for the actors having to make this movie.
Avoid at all costs so you don't have to feel uncomfortable like I did.

I Can't Even Come Up With a Title Here
VintageSoul5613 February 2022
I happen to like Jamie Luner, that's why the 3 stars. I know it's a Lifetime movie and they are not always the best, but I do like ones that the main character is on the run trying to stay one step ahead of the police or the villain. If it had been me at the airport, I would have hung up on the annoying ex-husband that called so that I could have concentrated on what I was doing, like getting the right bag. He was pretty pathetic and pushy trying to make nice. That would have solved the whole issue, but everyone involved would not have had a paycheck unless the writer's could have come up with a better screenplay.
A Mother's Revenge
BandSAboutMovies27 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Jennifer Clarke (Jamie Luner, All My Children, Melrose Place) already thinks that she's finished her Lifetime movie, one in which she went overboard after being gaslit for decades by her horrible husband Richard (Jason-Shane Scott) and turned her life around, becoming an in-demand corporate exec while he's married to a woman the same age as their daughter Katey (Audrey Whitby) and dealing with diapers. Yet she made the biggest mistake anyone in a movie can make. She grabbed the wrong suitcase, which brings the maniac named Conner (Steven Brand) into her life.
Also called An Accidental Switch and Killer Switch, this movie works because Steven Brand actually feels menacing and gets off some really sinister dialogue that makes this veer toward the weirdness that this needs more of. I realize it's a Lifetime movie, but that doesn't mean that a little bit of sleaze can't come on down.
Next time you're in the airport and they ask if you've had your bag the whole time, make sure you did. You don't want a killing machine stealing your child and killing your ex-husband who you hate - maybe you might - and making you confess over the phone that you're a bad girl. Actually, maybe you do want all of that. So you know, set that bag down and see what kind of adventure creeps into your life.

Entertaining and unintentionally funny thriller
phd_travel12 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Jamie Luner the pretty red head from so many Lifetime movies I've lost count stars as a mother who picks up the wrong suitcase at an airport. Instead of just exchanging it the real owner is a psycho who kidnaps her daughter and sends Jamie on a kind of survivor like chase throughout Buffalo's minor tourist attractions and ending in Niagara Falls.
It's quite hilarious to see Jamie Luner run throughout the city with a suitcase and handbag. And her resourcefulness is quite something.
I liked it - don't take it too seriously. One of the better lifetime thrillers of late.

A Good Movie with Bad Writing
seaypatrick14 May 2020
It was an entertaining movie from start to finish. But the awful writing comes in when the main character who Jamie Luner plays...Jennifer. She answered the phone to man she never met... kind of like she already knew him. But we didn't see them meet. But overall I was entertained because IT'S FICTIONAL... MAKE BELIEVE. Not all movies have to be completely realistic because it's fiction. And this is where suspend disbelief come in. I liked the idea and the movie. I don't like the other bad reviews on the movie. There are other boring movies but this was really good and a thrilling movie.
