The plot of "Switch" is not always believable, in fact there are some huge holes in it if you stop to think about them. Fortunately, the director doesn't give you much time to dwell on such matters, as he keeps the film moving at a frenetic pace, with on-location shooting, kinetic camera-work, a few exciting fights, and a foot chase that is very reminiscent of the one in the cult classic "Point Break" (if not quite as good). The climax, though, is disappointingly rushed. Karine Vanasse is a revelation in "Switch", she throws herself into the role body (and I do mean BODY) and soul, and makes it convincing even when the script is not. Eric Cantona is clearly much better at his new endeavor than most pro-athletes-turned-actors. **1/2 out of 4.
