Changing Lanes - 2002 ****

A very clever thriller. Affleck plays a highly strung lawyer who becomes embroiled in a car accident with a salesman (Freeman) who is on the way to court to try and gain custody of his children. Despite being in the wrong, Affleck drives off without giving Freeman any information and leaving him there in the middle of the road. Getting to court, Affleck realises that he has left one of the key files he needs for his power of appointment at the roadside with Freeman. Freeman isn't about to give back the file anytime soon. So begins a terrifying game of cat and mouse, where each move sees one of the men destroying a moment in the others life. Their whole day now revolves around trying to outsmart and hurt the other. It's an incredibly clever character study into two mindsets that couldn't be anymore different, and both actors are perfect for their roles.
