Dérapages incontrôlés

Changing Lanes est une brillante exploration psychologique du monde de deux New-Yorkais ayant des statuts sociaux différents, mais souffrant du même stress mental sur leurs épaules. Parfaitement jouée et encore mieux réalisée. Peut-être un peu froide, mais c'est partie du jeu. Un drame aussi étouffant que le film de Schumacher Falling Down. (06/11/2002)

I have the same feelings as koCOUR. I also considered 5*, but that ending that ruined the atmosphere of the entire film. On the other hand, the positive message that sometimes everything turns out for the best doesn't hurt either. Anyway, it’s a miracle that a mainstream film like this paid itself without trouble in the US and had pretty decent reviews. One of the surprises of the year for me and Affleck and Jackson are great.

This day turned into the worst day of their life for Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck) and Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson) when a small car accident destroyed their lives. Gipson came twenty minutes late to his divorce hearing and lost his family and Banek left a document at the site of the accident that could get him jailed if he doesn’t submit it. The only thing that can change the way they feel right now is revenge! Changing Lanes is a movie about people, vengeance and the little things that can change your life without our being aware. Affleck’s acting is very natural and his character is pleasantly down to earth and realistic. Jackson is also great as an alcoholic in recovery and a dad trying his very hardest. Apart from a couple of errors of logic, Changing Lanes is a perfect psychological thriller about how fortune and destiny play games with people. 4* (01/10/2006)
