Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Steineded How sad is this?

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

IslandMadMacs You don't need a big budget to make a fantastic film. Simply put: This is an entertaining and surprising movie with everything you could ask for - genuine suspense with believable plot twists, well-timed action, memorable comedy, and special effects that actually has a purpose beyond the "see-what-we-can-do" arrogance of many blockbuster productions. I regularly contribute to IMDb's I Need To Know Board where many board favorites tend to be the memorable kitschy flicks. In the coming years - this will be one of them - I guarantee it. Not only is this a really fun movie to idle away a 'popcorn video night', it's filled with unique visual hooks and interesting plot twists that tend to find their way into the collected memories of film fans.While others have noted similarities to other well-known films of the genre - I urge you to watch this with a fresh mindset (pun intended).This is probably one of the best Stephen Baldwin films from his hodge-podge career. Had he chosen to do more along these lines I suspect his limelight wouldn't have gotten so dusty that he'd end up as a B-rated 'star' for reality TV schlock. Doing solid, low budget, but profitable films is a career track that had Edward Herrimann and C. Thomas Howell working for decades while their "will-only-work-for-great-scripts/directors" driven counterparts have been forgotten or relegated to the world of early retirement.

The_Void In this film, humans are able to jump from body to body by means of a new form of technology. Why? Transport. Yes, it's a new means of transport; you swap bodies with someone at your destination, thus allowing you to get there instantly. Sounds ridiculous, and I cant think of a single reason why anyone would want to engage in this transaction, thus rendering this idea stupid; but, well, it's only a film. The movie follows the story of a corporate class man that must get to a meeting in a different town, and the only way to get there in time is to 'x-change'. Conversely, our hero is dead against the idea of x-changing so he initially refuses to do it. However, his boss drives a hard bargain, and after thirty seconds of relentless convincing; our hero is on his way to another man's body so he can attend the meeting! However, things aren't going to be that simple or we'd be in for a rather boring ride, so he unwittingly x-changes bodies with a terrorist that refuses to give his body back! Obviously, body stealing is a crime and therefore our guy can't simply stay in the body he's in, so he has to x-change with a clone. Don't you just hate it when that happens? However, it gets worse as clones only have a life span of approximately two days, so our hero must now race against time to stop the terrorists, sleep with as many women as possible and get his old body back! However, things are never that simple.... nah, just kidding; that's pretty much it.Going back to the film's central premise...it really is stupid. Imagine if people were really able to 'body swap'; we'd never know who's who. I mean, what if your wife swapped bodies with Salma Hayek? Sure, you might THINK that would be good, but would it be really? ...Yeah, it probably would. Seriously though, it would be chaos; you'd soon get people abusing the privilege, and there'd be anarchy before you could say 'what a silly idea', due to all the terrorists swapping bodies with politicians and things like that. The actual idea of body swapping isn't that bad, but it should have been portrayed in a more feasible way. The film is also one of those very convenient ones, where whatever tools the characters need just magically appear to be there, and the film quickly becomes predictable because of this. It also doesn't fully capitalise on the central idea; it depicts a man in someone else's body, yet we hardly ever see the two on screen. If it had made more of a meal our hero 'seeing himself', the film would have been infinitely better. You can tell that the writers started to run out of ideas after a while too, as the final third is packed with sex that doesn't really serve any relevance to the plot at all.It's a shame that this film isn't better as the idea could have built a really good film. It is hindered instantly by low production values, and the tired script and lack of invention don't do it any favours either. I would recommend watching this only if it's on and you have nothing else to do. Otherwise; you can afford to live your whole life without ever seeing this film.

therules_of_attraction I bought X-Change on DVD because I'm such a great fan of Kyle MacLachlan and in the end ,the only thing I could reproach to the film is the absence of this wonderful actor during the two thirds of the film.Indeed,he's the first body the main protagonist "floats" into and ,so as to make the story go on,it was necessary for him to say "Bye".About the film itself,I have to say I was gladly surprised:being never released in French cinemas,I was fearing to face a very common TV movie,deprived of rhythm and though the story may not be incredibly original,there's a good pace throughout the story and it doesn't look cheesy as many sci-fi films can.Maybe it's good to point out though,that Stephen"not very expressive" Baldwin and Kyle MacLachlan should have had their parts X-Changed for our pleasure,but well,what now is will still be,so...As a resume,this movie surely won't change your life and look upon things but it may help you kill some time and,all things being considered,that's already not so bad!

venusabove i watched this just the other night because it did sound like a good sci fi idea and although you might think the story sounds plausible u will also be critical with the special effects where in places it tends to alternate between good and bad. the cars for one thing are like ordinary!( i can override that u think!) but in the end u will be laughing at what is suppose to be a serious film but looks like an inside joke.. clearly the writer and directer have both a multiple personality disorder... sometimes the brains behind this film must have been sitting in a jar..verdict watch it once and find out
