Ütközéspont

Az Ütközéspont című film egy briliáns pszichológiai szonda két New York-i lakó világába, akiknek különböző a társadalmi státusza, de ugyanaz a lelki teher nyomja a vállukat. Tökéletesen játszott, még jobban rendezett. Talán egy kicsit hűvös, de ez a játék része. Ugyanolyan nyomasztó dráma, mint Schumacher Összeomlás című filmje. (2002.11.06)

This day turned into the worst day of their life for Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck) and Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson) when a small car accident destroyed their lives. Gipson came twenty minutes late to his divorce hearing and lost his family and Banek left a document at the site of the accident that could get him jailed if he doesn’t submit it. The only thing that can change the way they feel right now is revenge! Changing Lanes is a movie about people, vengeance and the little things that can change your life without our being aware. Affleck’s acting is very natural and his character is pleasantly down to earth and realistic. Jackson is also great as an alcoholic in recovery and a dad trying his very hardest. Apart from a couple of errors of logic, Changing Lanes is a perfect psychological thriller about how fortune and destiny play games with people. 4* (2006.10.01)

I have the same feelings as koCOUR. I also considered 5*, but that ending that ruined the atmosphere of the entire film. On the other hand, the positive message that sometimes everything turns out for the best doesn't hurt either. Anyway, it’s a miracle that a mainstream film like this paid itself without trouble in the US and had pretty decent reviews. One of the surprises of the year for me and Affleck and Jackson are great.
