Great movie, 27 October 1998
8/10
Author: Wim Dewijngaert from Leuven, Belgium

This is one of the better things I saw this year. Although lots of people in the theatre disliked the movie, I found The Big Swap a very interesting psychological drama with a good sense of humour. But who am I anyway? :-)
