A rush-hour fender-bender on New York City's crowded FDR Drive, under most circumstances, wouldn't set off a chain reaction that could decimate two people's lives. But on this day, at this time, a minor collision will turn two complete strangers into vicious adversaries. Their means of destroying each other might be different, but their goals, ultimately, will be the same: Each will systematically try to dismantle the other's life in a reckless effort to reclaim something he has lost.

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.

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

It was pretty.... interesting, but I can't imagine it's the sort of thing I'd ever re-visit. Strong performances are forthcoming from Sam Jackson and Toni Collette, everyone else is sort of stale. There's not a lot of movies out there like _Changing Lanes_, so it's a shame that it didn't end stronge More

Decent watch, probably won't watch again, and can't whole-heartedly recommend.

It is amazing all that can happen from a simple car collision, but it is more of a privileged jerk effect than the Butterfly Effect.

This whole movie is sort of a philosophical discussion of moral ambiguity with a s More
