Changing Lanes 2002

I've always been attracted to films that ask moral questions. This one was a good one. The performances of Affleck, Sam Jackson and Sydney Pollack were all very strong. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com

Good cast and a great ending make this flick a must see!

"You're addicted to chaos. For some of us, it's coke. For some of us, it's bourbon. But you? You got hooked on disaster."

Halfway through this movie I was getting excited because I thought this was going to be a Samuel L. Jackson's version of Falling Down, but then everything at the end happens and I am not sure I enjoyed it near as much.

Ben Affleck and Samuel L. Jackson square-off in the intense and dramatic thriller Changing Lanes. After leaving the scene of a traffic accident a lawyer ends up embroiled in a feud with the person that he hit in order to recover an important file that he left at the scene. The story is remarkably engaging and has layers of subtext; as the grudge match leads both of the main characters to learn things about themselves as they push each other to the limit and find out how far they’re willing to go. Affleck and Jackson give excellent performances and are backed by a strong supporting cast that includes Amanda Peet, Toni Collette, and William Hurt. An incredibly powerful film, Changing Lanes takes a provocative look at the darker side of human nature.

I knew I was going to enjoy this as soon as I saw the poster.

'Changing Lanes' is a great film. Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck are tremendous in their respective roles as Doyle and Gavin. They star in what is a gripping premise, as the two characters involved constantly try to one up each other.

It's a fairly simple concept, but the film portrays it nicely. There are a few moments where things could be worked out instantly but aren't, which is questionable no doubt though you can say that about most films in truth.

Highly recommend. Terrific leads, perfect pacing and an engaging plot.
