Changing Lanes

During the height of rush hour on New York City's crowded FDR Drive, a seemingly minor fender-bender would ordinarily fail to unleash a chain of events capable of devastating two lives. Yet on this day, at this hour, a petty collision becomes the catalyst that transforms two complete strangers into merciless rivals. Their methods to destroy one another may differ, but their aims are the same: each will methodically strive to dismantle the other's life in a reckless bid to reclaim something he has lost.

Kamurai

6/10

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 secondary question of whether one side fuels the other. While I enjoy this do, don't show philosophical battle, the realism of the insanity that occurs in this movie is terrifying. The movie is as good as it could be, but it's awkwardly average in the end.

5/10

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 stronger. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole_.
