(1 - 47) of 47 OFCS Rating: 84% Fresh Page   1   "It is plainly less interested in particular characters (their trajectories are pretty corny, in the end) than the abstract concepts they embody."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "Brimming with ethical dilemmas, "Changing Lanes" sometimes errs on the side of convenience, the same vice it vehemently condemns."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger C+ ""Roger Michell ("Notting Hill") directs a morality thriller.""   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "A provocative study of the human condition...handled in a fully challenging way that never once talks down to the viewer."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "A rare example of studio filmmaking evocatively concerned with the nature of morality."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B+ "That a high-profile movie with big-name actors could inspire such philosophical reflection is impressive."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "An indicting, cynical trip into how crappy our world actually is."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "Too smart to pander to the instincts that would demand a hanging-by-the-fingernails climax."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "After viewing the blistering thriller Changing Lanes, there's a whole new meaning to the phrase "driving each other crazy". Director Roger Michell pieces together a robust and energizing social drama"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B+ "Succeeds both as taut drama and as a thought-provoking examination of how ordinary people struggle with ethical dilemmas in their everyday lives."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Helps us see that "the place of the squeeze" (as Buddhist Pema Chodron calls situations involving obstacles) is a reset button that can propel us to transformation."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "It's watchable and compelling, and works on more than one level."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "at its most powerful ... when it shows us the complexities of moral decision making in a fast-paced world that leaves little time for such choices"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 5/5 "Dog-eat-dog urban drama has great script, direction -- and unexpectedly smart performances from Affleck and Jackson."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "A whip-smart thriller that begs comparison to the gritty mood pieces of the 1970s."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "Illustrates how easy and tempting it is to take the path of petty revenge, and, conversely, how difficult it is to choose to do the right thing."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7.5/10 "The engaging tale, solid performances and the thought-provoking questions presented in an unconventional cinematic package make this a film worth checking out."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "Good, solid entertainment for adults who like to have something to chew on while enjoying their bubble-gum."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/4 "'Si el filme hubiera terminado 10 o 15 minutos antes, hubiera sido una dura crítica a la amoral y desquiciante sociedad, pero solamente se queda en un buen filme, entretenido y bien actuado.'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 3/5 "I took an early exit on the movie, but the acting was outstanding."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4.5/5 "Viscerally engaging as you cringe at their actions & reel in surprise at the result & the new information...a nice little movie that also redeemed both actors a great deal."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "A combination of "Falling Down" and "The Game" but without Michael Douglas; is there a down side to this?"   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2/4 "A not-so-smart, Swiss cheese slice of a morality tale about utterly unlikable people doing dumb and/or despicable things."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "(A) frank, adult depiction of human nature..."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll B ""Changing Lanes" does hit a few minor potholes along the way, but it's a pleasure to experience Hollywood come off of cruise control. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 8.5 "Pese a sus pequeños huecos, Changing Lanes es una grata, gratísima sorpresa"   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 3/5 "A bleak and complex moral thriller."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "A refreshing and unexpected experience, rife with ideas and observation."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 3.5/4 "Sometimes God likes to put two guys in a paper bag and just let 'em rip"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 3/4 "Exceeds expectations, provoking serious thought while skillfully telling a compelling, character-driven story."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3.5/5 "Morally complex."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "The movie understands - and depicts - the self-destruction inherent in trying to make somebody else pay."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 3.5/4 "It is slickly made, with excellent production values, quality acting and an intelligent script."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "Assured performances and quality behind the camera make this more than routine."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 81/100 "Changing Lanes is an anomaly for a Hollywood movie; it’s a well-written and occasionally challenging social drama that actually has something interesting to say."   Apollo Guide   Scott Weinberg C "Blows a tire and careens off the road of sensibility before it reaches its final destination."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 3.5/4 "Fantastic!"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson C "Neither Gipson nor Banek makes much of a poster child for the danger of civilized behavior devolving into savagery, since neither of them seems quite stable from the outset."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 3.5/4 "A story and character-driven reminder of the classic paranoia cinema of Arthur Penn and Alan Pakula; if only it ultimately displayed the courage of the same."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw ""Changing Lanes" is thought-provoking and timely, a film that says so much about people and the choices they make."   Light Views   John Larsen 5/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 6/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R.
