Keeps you Guessing
This is a really Gr8 movie My lovers and I havewatched it over and overand recommend it to all our friends. It really keeps you guessing right to the end - who is the killer ???
This movie opens with a kidnapping. It starts off with a young boy being kidnapped. What happened to him ???
You don't see him or hear of him for quite some time into the movie, but it soon all comes together how he fits in with the plot of the movie. 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 will win the town election? Do we care?
Actually, yes, I did. I became engrossed in the deliberately
slow dispension of information. Then, just as they decide to give some answers, the real action/chase begins. This is not a fantastic creation of cinematic art -- but it's an entertaining action-thriller with intriguing characters. Quaid's character is not the typical action-flick hero. Glover's character is low-key and affable.
Swithchback is a film you must watch front-to-back. If you miss something, rewind it before going on, because if you don't you'll lose interest. The enjoyment is following along the trails laid by the writers. The only thing is, Quaid isn't supposed to be working on this case due to the fact that his son was kidnapped at the scene of the babysitter's killer. The serial killer took Quaid's boy because he knew that he was close to being caught.
Well, Quaid follows the killer's trail to the Rocky Mountains, and ends up on a train... with the killer...does he get killed
Does he get his son back? What happens to the hitchhiker? Should you watch this movie? YES!!!

This was one of the best action/suspense movies I have ever seen. I understand what some of the other reviewers have said about knowing who was responsible for the killings too soon. Yet I feel that it didn't detract from the film at all. In my opinion this movie was about beating the clock and outsmarting the killer. It was terrific.....
All the actors give powerful performances in this " who done it?
" movie. A hunter is tracking the killer, but the killer is setting a trap.
This movie goes back and forth, making you think that you have it all figured out, until another clue is thrown your way. Or is it a clue ???
FBI Agent Frank LaCrosse is on the case and pursuing a serial killer that remains a mystery. Frank takes a special interest in this case since he believes that this serial killer is the very same person that has kidnapped his son. Frank is on a mission and will stop at nothing to track down this killer. These murders that he is investigating arein rural Colorado,right in the middle of an electionbetween Chief Jack McGinnis and Sheriff Buck Olmstead. So they even throw some politics into the works, as one uses the murders to gain votes,
while the other loses votes, struggling to come out on top. Everyone is tied up in this story in one way or another, but the prime suspects are Lane Dixon and Bob Goodall.
Bob Goodall is the mature male, driving along the highway until his path crosses with the ex-medical student turned hitch-hiker, so to speak. Lane receives a ride from Bob, but then suddenly decides
he wants to be dropped off at a local bar down the road. Lane goes into the bar andno sooner doeshe walk in and things get a little hairy. A bar brawl breaks out and Bob hadn't left like he said he was going to. He instead stuck around. He then enters the bar to lend Lane a hand and help him out.
Is this an act of kindness? Is he just trying to gain his trust? Bob seems like a friendly, trustworthy guy, or is he?
The victims throats have been cut
in a surgical manner, fingers point at the quiet, more reserved, ex-medical student. Or maybe not ???
Bob has a strange way about him, such as centerfolds plastered
all over the interior of his car.
Could this be the makings of an obsessive serial killer? Who should you point the finger at? Two suspicious strangers, one's a killer, the other is innocent. But which one is it? Who seems to have the guilty conscious, or no conscious at all? Or could it be someone you're overlooking? I'd love to tell you more, but what fun would that be?
I don't want to ruin the movie for any of you that have yet to watch it.
If this sounds like your cup of tea then go rent it and get ready for a film that zigzags through sensational thrills and suspense.
There's a surprise around every corner that you turn. You'll be tensing up, just hoping that Frank will stay alive long enough to reveal the identity of the killer
and possibly find his son. Whether he finds his son dead or alive, that's another question still waiting to be answered.
Perhaps the plot is predictable
and you automatically know that Glover is the killer by reading the cover of the box ( they should of put Jared Leto on the cover too, so that the viewer couldn't predict who exactly the killer was
), this delightful movie is a enjoyable flick to the end of the credits. I would haveto have been kept guessing for a little bit longer, though.
