I really enjoyed this film. There are plenty of imperfect action/thrillers out there that fell much, much shorter than "Switchback." I've always enjoyed typically protagonist actors reverse roles, and I thought that Danny Glover did great. He wasn't Robin Williams in "Insomnia" (or "One Hour Photo" for that matter) but he was strong. I felt that delivering his performance in typical good guy fashion really added. Dennis Quaid wasn't phenomenal in the film, but he did fine. There was some real tension in most scenes, and though you knew what was going on, there was the occasional shadow of doubt. Sure the ending was the usual good triumphs over evil scenario, but so was "Terminator," "Die Hard," and for that matter "Braveheart." Sure the plot had some holes, but all-in-all I thought this was a solid movie.
