Changing Lanes (2002) 7/10

Starring : Ben Affleck, Samuel L Jackson, Toni Collette, Sydney Pollack, William Hurt, Amanda Peet
Director : Roger Michell
Running Time : 95 mins

When Gavin Banek (Affleck) gets involved in a car accident with Doyle Gipson (Jackson), he delays Gipson from making it to an important custody hearing in time. So, when Banek discovers that some important documents have been mislaid and that Gipson has them, he finds himself o the receiving end of his mistreatment of the poor man.

An entertaining movie, though a little convoluted, this doesn't show off Jackson and Affleck at their best, and neither one is a particularly likeable character. Still, this is a fine movie to watch on a quiet night in, and will keep you guessing which of the two main characters will try to hurt the other next.
