- Synopsis
- Two cars collide on the FDR expressway. Their drivers--two seemingly opposite men--are Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck), a young white partner in a powerful law firm, and Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson), a meek working class black man. At the scene of this fender bender Gavin, who is busy trying to make a business appointment on his cell phone, offers Doyle a blank check to cover damages. Doyle, wanting to properly exchange information, declines, causing Gavin to flee the accident site. In his haste, Gavin leaves behind an important legal file which Doyle uses to his advantage, setting off a brutal cycle of revenge between these two men who began this Good Friday as strangers.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Glossy, big-budget thriller that qualifies as the season's biggest and most rewarding surprise"
-
"Frustrating yet deeply watchable melodrama that makes you think it's a tougher picture than it is."
-
"Rarely have I seen a film so willing to champion the fallibility of the human heart"
-
"A curious combination of strident preachment and smartly farcical thriller; it's heavy-handed and light-footed at the same time."
-
"A thrilling ride but also a thoughtful one, it's a movie that does manage to do more good than bad by the end of the day."
