Changing Lanes (2002)


A rush-hour fender-bender on New York City's crowded FDR Drive, under most circumstances, wouldn't set off a chain reaction that could decimate two people's lives. But on this day, at this time, a minor collision will turn two complete strangers into vicious adversaries. Their means of destroying each other might be different, but their goals, ultimately, will be the same: Each will systematically try to dismantle the other's life in a reckless effort to reclaim something he has lost.

Reviews


80
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
Out of that clever setup, Changing Lanes pulls both the promised taut suspense and a much deeper film: an ethics thriller.
78
Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
Rarely have I seen a film so willing to champion the fallibility of the human heart.
75
Miami Herald - Rene Rodriguez
Loses its nerve in the final minutes, relying on a series of contrivances to arrive at an unconvincingly pat, happy ending. The story begged for a darker, more biting resolution.
75
Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
Seething, searing tragedy of unmannerliness.
75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
A thrilling ride but also a thoughtful one, it's a movie that does manage to do more good than bad by the end of the day.
