Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

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.

I'm not going to go as far as 10/10, but nonetheless, a very original, well crafted movie. It loses marks for kind of falling apart after about 45 mins, but still manages to resurrect a good ending. What annoys most is not the movie but the marketing. I'm sure this never came out in the cinema and its not widely available on DVD. Anyway, lets talk X Change. Stephen Baldwin and Kyle McLachlan. OK, not your household names but still good enough. This bloke swaps bodies, but not mind in order to travel quickly to some other place using a company called X Change. But something goes wrong, his real body is stolen by a known terrorist and he faces a fight for his life to get it back. One of the best movies in recent years but as I said, such a shame not many people have heard about it.

Overall, i did enjoy this movie. It has a little bit of sci-fi, action, sexuality (TASTEFUL IMAGES THAT DAVID LYNCH WOULD BE PROUD OF), and believable plot. The movie basically comes like this: A copr Exe, officer with high clearance level, needs to go to Cal. but is in NY, so he had to XCHANGE his body with someone else in Cal. to make it the fastest travel possible. He was suppose to have his body back later that day but was told the next day. The movie goes on, and calls the XCHANGE process FLOATING, in which at a party many people at a club, talk about having sex with floaters being very erotic and so on. He then meet this girl GLORY, and had sex with her. While this is happening, a terrorist some how managed to get a hold of his old body, and basically it is a race to get his old body back. Good movie but lacking in some sense.

In a world with such technology....Why would there still be yellow cabs? As the film pans - you see all them... then ONE futuristic electric looking car, making it very hard to understand whether we are watching a Sci-Fi film or some rich kid in a go-kart.Why, with all the security that is 'George', would XChange allow you to wear your ID like a dog tag? Surely they would have thought it through and realised it would be a problem? Surely we won't get so complacent that we will think people won't do anything illegal?I normally look forward to the day when i can travel as easily as they did in this film, but after watching this film...i would rather just stay home!Diarrhoea for the eyes...
