A pleasingly taut, surprisingly trenchant morality play disguised as an urban thriller, this sleeper hit stays smartly focused on the emotional reality of its premise without devolving into the violent, chaotic genre cliches typically found in lesser films dealing with themes... Full review

“Changing Lanes†is a high-octane and highly original drama/thriller. What's most interesting is the fact that it is set over the period of one day. This greatly adds to the intensity that it intends to create. But best is the sheer... Full review

Changing Lanes" is an explicit allegory about how the flaws of good people can bring them to the brink of murder.

To sum up, Changing Lanes is, on balance, worth watching, for Jacksons performance if nothing else.
