Ugh!
19 May 2002
This has got to be one of the worst movie I've seen. Even Ed Wood's productions had better quality. I can't comment on the whole movie because I left after after an hour out of sheer boredom.

Samuel L. Jackson as Doyle Gipson is unbelievable. He plays the role of an Uncle Tom who could take on Mike Tyson. Sidney Pollack as Ben Affleck's boss is even more unbelievable.

I can easily conceive that he is ruthless and completely unprincipled. I've met many people just like him at work. But is he really that stupid? He is after control of a $10,000,000 foundation. Would that control all depend on ONE document? You would think that he would have the old man sign several copies. And if it did depend on one document you would think he would have a special courier to keep close watch on it when Ben Affleck took it to court. Finally, would he leave incriminating documents, documents that could send him to jail, in a filling cabinet in the office where anyone can grab them?

Then there is Dylan Baker as the hacker. He can effortlessly break into the data base of a credit company and modify Samuel L. Jackson's credit record. If it was that easy the credit card companies would be losing billions of dollars. They would out of business in a week's time. In reality it would take the resources of the cryptographers at the National Security Agency to do that.

Then there is the scene where Samuel L. Jackson demolishes a computer worth several thousand dollars at some financial institution. He walks out and nobody goes after him. Just imagine what would happen if one of us tried that.

But I've said enough. "Changing Lanes" is a window into the minds of the liberals. It shows their self-loathing and the contempt they have for ordinary Americans.
