    It’s quite a grounded drama that starts interestingly with a tense conflict setup, but later gets inconsistent and bumpy, managing to provide only sporadic exciting thrills. For a narrative that’s driven more by its theme rather than exploring the characters or chosen…

    Action! - The March of the (3) Rogers: Sweep That Cam, Michell Boi! This was a movie that I must have seen a zillion times on TV, playing nonstop on the movie channels, but I never got around to seeing it from beginning to finish. And decades later, it's still as…

    I enjoyed the moral dilemmas both of the main characters went through, but it was a little irritating when they kept on spiting each other when they could’ve just helped. Was pretty weird seeing Stuart from The Big Bang Theory.

    Good lord Ben Affleck was capital H.O.T in this. A real slice. The movie itself stressed me out, what a nightmare situation to be in.

    "This is all a tightrope. Ya gotta learn how to balance." When Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck) and Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson) get in a car accident, it sets off a chain of events and a rivalry that threatens to destroy both their lives.  Changing Lanes is at its best when…

    9/10 one of the well written stories I’ve seen. It just takes one bad choice to ruin another’ life. This movie just shows us what the riches are capable of doing in order to get what they want, how offensive they can be. Loved the Samuel’ scene “can u give me my 20 minutes back”.

    One single bad choice can change your life, for good or for bad, that’s up to you. God please give me the serenity for change the things that I can not change. What a great movie.

    This one often goes overlooked but it’s a pretty good thriller with turns and unexpected twists. With Jackson and affleck you really can’t go wrong.

    Engaging drama that had a strong message about morality carried by its two lead actors.

Gets too caught up in its escalating violence and strained-to-bursting moral subtexts. It's the blood of souls drenching the screen, and it's a hideous sight to behold.

What these guys do for revenge during one hellish day in the Big Apple makes the panic room look like Barney's toy box. The film itself goes off the deep end way before the end credits.

Rarely have I seen a film so willing to champion the fallibility of the human heart.
