Hollywood Reviews and Movie Trivia

When an attorney (Ben Affleck) and an insurance man (Samuel L Jackson) have a minor traffic accident during morning rush hour, the circumstances following the accident change both men's lives forever. Not nearly as predictable as many thrillers can be, this movie provides an excellent illustration of just how ridiculous taking revenge on someone can become. Numerous turns of events make each man's day turn from bad to worse, until both men are left with severe moral issues to sort out. The movie moves at a pace that leaves the viewer anticipating the next scene and does require some amount of attention in order to keep track of who has put the hurt on whom, if you happen to keep score. Alternate endings and deleted scenes fill in some interesting gaps, but don't necessarily justify the purchase of this title.
