Audience Reviews for Changing Lanes

• Dec 10, 2014

  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.

  Not bad. This film is an exercise in human stupidity, but everything ends up working out pretty well in the end. Hobbes would totally love this movie lol.

  Changing Lanes keeps you on your toes with a tense screenplay that does not let up until the final scenes when everyone is tidied up a little too well after all the chaos that ensued. Samuel L. Jackson is terrific as usual and rides the line between doing what he needs for his family and crossing that line. Ben Affleck is better in these roles than he is in the action role, playing a hotshot lawyer that realizes all the unethical crap he pulls will eventually catch up to him. I was actually expecting this to have more action than it did based on the title and previews, but I'm not complaining when it was this well done. Ultimately, the only knock I have is that the conclusion is a little too easy based on the rest, but Changing Lanes will keep you guessing and is entertaining.

  Samuel L. Jackson delivers one of his most memorable performances as Doyle Gibson, an insurance agent and separated father of two, who is caught up in a horrible day. Jackson steps away from his in-your-face characters that we are used to and embarks as a downtrodden everyday citizen. Along with his performance, "Changing Lanes" produces a perfect dramatic script, with each moment building on top of the next. Each time Doyle or Gavin (Ben Affleck) could end this catastrophic day, they forget how to be civilized and instead of moving forward in their personal and business lives, they continuously take two steps back until their entire lives are shaken by the end of the day. The writing of the film always feels true and each actor embody their roles to a sincere perfection, creating a solid and time-tested thriller.
