An Enthralling Adventure
Switchback is so faultily scripted in places that it really has no right being as entertaining as it is, but such is indeed the case. In making his directorial debut after a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter of such box-office hits as Die Hard and The Fugitive, Jeb Stuart has polished off a... Read full review »
Switchback: Everything Else is just Cheap Whiskey
Switchback has the look and feel of a great thriller but suffers a bit because of too ambitious plotting on the part of screenwriter/director Jeb Stuart.
The main theme behind Switchback is the hunt for a serial killer by FBI agent (Dennis Quaid). However, before the viewer can determine...

Switchback: Stay Back
Switchback isn't a bad movie, it's just not even close to a good movie.
It offers nothing new to the whole genre of serial killer movies. It's just really standard stuff that never even really gets going or ever makes much sense. You know the story, killer kidnaps cop's kid (or in this...

Convoluted serial killer story
With the exception of an exciting action/stunt sequence on board a train, towards the end of this movie, Switchback is an extremely dull film that seems more like a bad TV movie of the week, than a big screen thriller.
Dennis Quaid is an FBI agent looking for a serial killer that has...

Switchback and forth
This movie opens with a kidnapping. We then follow the trail of a serial-killer who loves slashing the victim "almost surgically." Then we meet a young hitchhiker from nowhere, and the man who gives him a ride (Glover).
Who is the killer? What's the deal with the FBI agent (Quaid)? Who...

Switchback [VHS]
This film has the feel of a script that's been resurrected by a writer given the chance to direct his own movie. So it was with writer Jeb Stuart (Die Hard) and this film, his directing debut. The plotting is creaky and predictable in this story of an FBI agent (Quaid) relentlessly pursuing a serial killer (Glover) who, in an effort to intimidate the lawman, kidnaps the agent's child. The action set-pieces show up like clockwork, as this rogue cop battles his own agency in an effort to find his child. Quaid is grim and lifeless, so the film's only sparks are given off by Glover, in a wonderfully shaded performance that keeps you guessing whether he is, in fact, the bad guy after all. --Marshall Fine
