Changing Lanes

Buy This Item Changing Lanes by Paramount  Available from Amazon  $9.99  on 11-16-2008     Impeccably crafted and smarter than your average thriller, <I>Changing Lanes</I> proves that revenge is a dish best served cold. A high-powered attorney (Ben Affleck) learns that lesson the hard way after he flees the scene of an accident involving an insurance salesman (Samuel L. Jackson) who holds a powerful advantage in his retaliatory strike against the lawyer's arrogant behavior. Affleck has everything to gain if he can retrieve a lost document from Jackson, who has everything to lose (wife, family, savings) when threatened with financial sabotage. To his versatile credit, <I>Notting Hill</I> director Roger Michell never plays the race card in this escalating battle of wills, focusing instead on the percolating resentments of men at opposite ends of the economic scale. As he did in <I>Eyes Wide Shut</I>, actor-director Sydney Pollack chillingly embodies the venal elite in a pivotal supporting role, and <I>Changing Lanes</I> potently illustrates the wisdom of heeding a guilty conscience. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> Reader Reviews How Ben Affleck has ever gotten to be a 'star' in Hollywood is beyond me. I did like him as George Reeves in the Superman movie but for god sake... this guy is like a piece of notty pine. He is just plain horrible as an actor. He should stick to kissing Kevin Smiths butt and being in his stupid movies because he is a bad actor. Samuel L. Jackson was funny at first. But his cussing and shouting gimmick has really gotten old. This movie is predictable, simple and just a bore.
