    Cause he told the truth, and once you've heard the truth, everything else is just cheap whiskey.

    Switchback is written and directed by Jeb Stuart. It stars Dennis Quaid, Danny Glover, Jared Leto, R. Lee Ermey, Ted Levine and William Fitchner. Music is by Basil Poledouris and cinematography by Oliver Wood.

    FBI agent Frank LaCrosse (Quaid) is tracking a serial killer who he believes kidnapped his young son.

    Switchback is a standard serial killer based thriller that flopped at the box office. It's not a bad film but it never delivers on its potential. The location travelogue of the story is most impressive, especially the last third once we get to the snowy mountains of Colorado, but it's the scenery that grips and holds the attention...
