Changing Lanes

ThrillerDrama

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… From TMDB

    Changing Lanes is “more than a film about bikes and public space,” says Doug Gordon, co-host of The War on Cars podcast. “It’s about who wields power... and how regular citizens can organize... It is very much a movie made for the political and cultural moment the country finds itself in right now.”

    Changing Lanes, a new film by Brooklyn-based cinematographer Ben Wolf premiered this past weekend at the Architectural & Design Film Festival. It does an amazing job of situating the recent struggle over the McGuinness Blvd *road diet* in Greenpoint within the history of making cities car dependent

    Thanks @joshmatlow.bsky.social & @anotherglassbox.bsky.social for hosting tonight's Changing Lanes screening @ City Hall which was packed. Even though the film focused on NYC, there are many parallels found in Toronto too. We should have more of these screenings at city hall! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli

    One of my upcoming podcast episodes focuses on a stretch of road where people have been killed and seriously injured over and over. For three years, Ben Wolf documented the residents’ struggle against the auto lobby, corruption, and disinformation. "Changing Lanes" is his first documentary film.

    I recall the movie CHANGING LANES to be *nothing but* Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck wreaking revenge on each other but eventually coming to the “no thanks” part. It’s a distressingly still-relevant movie.

    When I worked at the movie theater, I once spliced in part of a commercial into a movie to see if anyone would notice. No one did. Somewhere out there is a copy of Changing Lanes with 3 frames of a Sprite bottle in it.

    We watched Unhinged (2020) the other night. It was amazing! It seems criminally underseen. At first I was expecting a Changing Lanes style flick but it quickly became Falling Down in the modern day but on hard drugs. I highly recommend it 🔥

    Just watched a great film at the Siskel film center called Changing Lanes. It’s about the fight for protected bike lanes and traffic calming on a busy street in Brooklyn and the pushback from local idiots and businesses. Just like bike folks on the SW side are going through. They won, eventually!

    There was a movie about this some years ago... Changing Lanes or something... Where they just turned the person off, and denied them access to society because someone slipped them government secrets they were clueless about.

    Today I watched Changing Lanes. It's a very middling little thriller, but with a notable thing about it is that as a 2002 movie, it did predict what would be a major cultural factor in the 21st century. Male rage.

    Decent watch, probably won't watch again, and can't whole-heartedly recommend. It is amazing all that can happen from a simple car collision, but it is more of a privileged jerk effect than the Butterfly Effect. This whole movie is sort of a philosophical discussion of moral ambiguity with a secondary question of whether one side fuels the other. While I enjoy this do, don't show philosophical battle, the realism of the insanity that occurs in this movie is terrifying. The movie is as good as…

    It was pretty.... interesting, but I can't imagine it's the sort of thing I'd ever re-visit. Strong performances are forthcoming from Sam Jackson and Toni Collette, everyone else is sort of stale. There's not a lot of movies out there like Changing Lanes, so it's a shame that it didn't end stronger. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
