      Changing Lanes

      R Released Apr 12, 2002 1 hr. 38 min. Mystery & Thriller Drama List
      78% 153 Reviews Tomatometer 53% 50,000+ Ratings Audience Score 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.

      Eye C One single bad choice can change your life, for good or for bad, that's up to you. God please give me the serenity for change the things that I can not change. What a great movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Gareth v A frustrating and uneven movie that tries to take on some serious subject matter and doesn't hit the mark. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review brian c Absolute nonsense. The whole premise of the story was ludricous. The fact that one of the two leading characters was a recovering alcoholic was superfluous. The ending was Disney-esque and the acting was wooden. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/15/23 Full Review chuck r One of my all time favorites. Brilliant writing and acting that will make you think long after you've seen the final frame! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 20 yrs ago this gem came out! Watched for only my 2nd time 2 nights ago and loved it! 8 out of 10 all day long in anyone's books!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Kay W This is a make you think movie. It's good and heartbreaking with an uplifting ending.

      Nell Minow Common Sense Media Emotionally violent thriller for mature teens. Rated: 4/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Robert Koehler Variety Combines a knack for storytelling with a rare instinct for exploring ideas within the framework of a major, star-driven Hollywood movie. Sep 22, 2008 Full Review Olly Richards Empire Magazine One of the most impressive movies of the year; taut and compelling. Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Changing Lanes admirably manages to largely steer clear of black and white simplicity by adorning itself in an appealing shade of gray. Rated: 3/4 Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... an overlooked film that delves into anger management, revenge, and culpability. Feb 3, 2024 Full Review Joe Leydon The Moving Picture Show Time and again, "Changing Lanes" subversively upends expectations. Sep 24, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
