The Alphabet Project: X is for...

Xchange (2000)

In the near future, a company called Xchange owns a mind transference technology that enables instantaneous travel by swapping bodies with someone at the destination. A member of the privileged corporate class ("Corpie") (Kim Coates) Xchanging for the first time unwittingly switches bodies with a terrorist (Kyle MacLachlan). Forced to hide in a limited life span cloned body (Stephen Baldwin) with just 2 days remaining, he races against time to stop the terrorist and regain his body. Hilarity ensues.

Trivia: Stephen Baldwin turned down the role of Jack in Speed(1994). (Whew, that was a close one). He is one of the famed Baldwin brothers with Alec, William, and Daniel. He met his wife on a New York Subway. Don't you appreciate knowing all this great stuff about a Baldwin?

Oh, those wonderful Baldwin boys. This movie has one of them and one is too many. On the whole, Xchange was a decent Sci-Fi thriller and I admit, Stephen Baldwin is the perfect actor to play a mindless drone body inhabited by somebody else's mind. But did they have to have hundreds of him running around? The premise is pretty sound but the execution was a little shaky, like how did Stephen Baldwin get from L.A. to New York while in his new body in like two minutes? If he could have done that in the first place, he wouldn't have needed to Xchange in the first place. Well, anyway, Yeah Kim, You were able to guess it correctly. You get to pick a movie for me. (Umm...Anonymous Ken? Are you there? You still need to pick a movie for me from like 3 months ago.)
