Review – Switchback

Here’s yet another attempt to pass off a lot of unbelievable plot twists and a handful of expensive stunt work as a taut thriller. The acting’s not too bad, with Danny Glover as a deranged slasher (oops, I think that’s supposed to be a big secret) and Dennis Quaid as the hard-driven FBI agent on his trail, backed up by a reasonably believable ensemble. And for what it’s worth, some of the stunts aren’t too bad, especially the stuff on the train at the end. But really over the long (nearly two hours) haul, it doesn’t return your investment. Mildly amusing
