LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
A renegade FBI agent (Dennis Quaid) defies the Bureau to track the killer who has kidnapped his son.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
Scripter Jeb Stuart (Die Hard) made his directorial debut with this thriller about an FBI agent in pursuit of a serial killer. Politically ambitious Amarillo police chief Jack McGinnis (William Fichtner) uses a local murder to gain votes in his campaign, a setback for Sheriff Buck Olmstead (R. Lee Ermey), up for re-election. The situation looks better for Olmstead after FBI agent Frank LaCrosse (Dennis Quaid) arrives to track the killer. LaCrosse has a personal agenda: he's convinced this killer is the man who kidnapped his son. Meanwhile, ex-medical student Lane Dixon (Jared Leto), hitchhiking across New Mexico, gets a lift from friendly Bob Goodall (Danny Glover), a former rail worker who later rescues Dixon from menacing miners in a bar. Red herrings throughout conceal the true identity of the killer. Some scenes were filmed at an altitude of 10,000 feet in Red Cliff, Colorado. Working titles include: Going West in America, Going West. Shown at the 1997 Denver Film Festival. --- Bhob Stewart

Switchback's lead character is a serial killer. Of course, he's a "movie serial killer," which means that he doesn't kill for sexual pleasure and he's sane enough to out-think the entire cast. Jared Leto plays one of the dumbest characters ever put on screen, but R. Lee Ermey is watchable as always and there's an exciting climax set on a moving train speeding through the snowy wilderness. The screenplay is needlessly complicated, with too many subplots that dilute the intensity of the action scenes (Die Hard was far more pure in comparison) but it's entertaining nonetheless. --- Robert Firsching
