 SPLICEDwire | "Changing Lanes" review (2002) Roger Michell, Ben Affleck, Samuel L Jackson, Toni Collette
"Lanes" is one of those rare movies that should have just as much punch on the small screen as it did in theaters.
But "Changing Lanes" has one insurmountable hurdle: 60 percent of the movie is spent trying to make a rich, lying, conniving, completely unprincipled Manhattan lawyer seem sympathetic.
Not only sympathetic, but as sympathetic as his nemesis, a struggling father and recovering alcoholic who is trying as hard as he can to be a good dad so his ex-wife won't move across the country with their two kids.

 Changing Lanes: A Ransom Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Lanes, the product of a collaboration between first time scriptwriter Chap Taylor and veteran Michael Tolkin (The Player, The Rapture), tells the story of two men, caught in the desperate situation of being late to court for hugely important, though hugely different, reasons, who have a minor accident that alters each of their lives forever.
We are supposed to believe that a single off-camera conversation changes a woman’s mind about staying with her husband when years of chaos and anger have made her take a hard line in custody proceedings just hours before.
Though flawed, Lanes does not disappoint as a story that causes one to think, and think hard, about what we as a culture view as “repentance” and its consequences.

Both lanes were moving at the same average speed, but it wouldn’t have seemed that way to the drivers.
When they showed it to driving students, 70 percent guessed, incorrectly, that the other lane was moving faster, and 65 percent said they’d try to switch into it.
People tend to glance at the next lane more often when they’re moving slowly, which can make their situation seem worse than it is. Also, since drivers face forward, the cars they pass disappear quickly behind them while those that overtake them remain annoyingly visible.

 Filmtracks: Changing Lanes (David Arnold)
Changing Lanes: (David Arnold) After announcing himself back into the techno scene with Shaft in 2000, composer David Arnold began accepting scoring assignments with which he could vary those techno elements in different urban settings.
He was, of course, a punk rocker in his years before feature film scoring, and the techno sounds heard in his British television works of his previous years are the true sound of Arnold's personal style.
Overall, Arnold's techno abilities are varied and strong, but Changing Lanes is simply too disorganized and distressing to enjoy to any degree on album.

 All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Changing Lanes
Under the watchful eyes of director Michell and intelligent screenwriters Chap Taylor and Michael Tolkin (1998's "Deep Impact"), however, "Changing Lanes" is first and foremost a provocative study of the human condition.
While thoroughly arresting throughout, the makers wisely shift the focus away from action set-pieces (there are very few to be found) and toward aspects that should always been a necessity, but rarely are, such as character development and powerful underlying themes.
As "Changing Lanes" moves sure-footedly toward its finale, it does not falter or cheat, as so many movies of its ilk usually do.

 Changing Lanes Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
The two main characters of "Changing Lanes", the latest film from "Notting House" director Roger Michell, are from two different worlds.
Though it has been described as a 'road rage thriller', "Changing Lanes", is anything but.
Like "Panic Room", and unlike many of the films of dubious quality that have graced the big screen since the beginning of the year, "Changing Lanes" makes a strong and unforgettable impression, and will certainly be remembered as one of the best of the year.

 Changing Lanes (2002): Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Affleck, Toni Collette - PopMatters Film Review
Changing Lanes follows the divergent but inextricably entwined ways that Gavin and Doyle make use of their Good Friday, namely, finding ways to get revenge on one another.
Changing Lanes offers such choices -- trumped up and piled up -- as a kind of character-defining shorthand.
But these insights are most often overwhelmed by events that pass for morally "correct." Gavin's eventual role as savior is more disturbing than the selfish and ugly one he's been playing at (and not so well) in the first part of the film.

 Changing Lanes - David Arnold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
I suspect that if I played Changing Lanes for any number of non film music fans, they wouldn't notice it was film music, indeed it's more like Moby or similar - a mixture of percussion and samples, but with some occasional orchestral backing, but even this sounds more like it was sampled and grafted on.
On the basis of Changing Lanes, I can understand why David Arnold is regarded as a skilled producer, he is deft at creating music from samples and electronic percussion and bass lines, but as his Bond scores show, he's pretty good at mixing them with the orchestra.
Unfortunately, Changing Lanes doesn't really have any dramatic thrust at all and comes across as merely background music there to merely add some musical wallpaper than get involved with the characters and story.
