carbuff Well done thriller, but, ultimately, I was somewhat disappointed, because it didn't really bring anything new to the table. The violence in the movie was pretty disturbing, not because of the gruesomeness, which wasn't particularly extreme, but instead due to the preferred method of killing and the killer's attitude. Dennis Quaid delivers a solid performance as the exceptionally solid, totally dependable, ideal father figure, a particular archetype he seems to have built a career on. Like one of the other reviewers commented, Danny Glover is not a favorite actor of mine, but he played his role in this film very well. In summary, a pretty run-of-the-mill thriller with high production values that plays much more like very good TV than a major motion picture.

gavin6942 An FBI agent (Dennis Quaid) tries to catch a serial killer (Danny Glover) who kidnapped his son."Switchback" received negative reviews from critics and holds a 32% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 25 reviews. The film bombed at the box office, grossing just $6 million domestically off a budget of $38 million. This criticism is wrong, and I suspect if they were to reflect now (2015) they might be more positive.This is a strong cat-and-mouse thriller that has a nice change of pace: a serial killer who happens to be black. This defies the stereotype, and allows him to get away with much more while on the run. Very clever. We also have some actors who were not as big then as they are now. Jared Leto's career has only gone up, and Ted Levine really made a name for himself with "Monk" in 2002. (Yes, he had already broken out with "Silence of the Lambs", but "Monk" is arguably even bigger.)

DegustateurDeChocolat It's the story of a serial killer the police is trying to find and who also kidnapped the son of a FBI agent (Dennis Quaid)to challenge him. I didn't mind this movie because it has a good pace and the story is well developed. The setting is also nice being Colorado, with its snowy mountains and its long highways. The chasing scene on the train is also gripping and catching. The actors Dennis Quaid, Jared Leto and Danny Glover, who I've always used to think of as the policeman who's made fun of in Lethal Weapon, is credible in his role. However I give a 6 to this movie because it doesn't have that touch in the plot and in the action scenes that make it more than an average thriller.

Terry Jacks This is one of my favorite movies. A very menacing storyline if you pay attention. Danny Glover is fully believable in the role of a serial killer, Bob Goodall. His eyes and smile convey an extreme homicidal persona one second, but just friendly and laid back the next. I have never seen any actor portray this kind of character as well as Mr. Glover. One of the most convincing scenes is when he follows the attractive female clerk into the store room of a country store. His demeanor, very understated, reflects a trusted friend until he enters the room and says a few words to her and his facial expression, still subdued, completely changes in an instant, going from friend to most dangerous. Hard to describe, but his acting was superb as a psychopath and I recommend this movie.
