Charles Schine (Clive Owen) finds himself living an UN-exciting married life until a day in which he meets Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston) on a train. Finding themselves immediately attracted to one and another, they end up at a hotel at which a man named LaRoche (Vincent Cassel) attacks Charles and rapes Lucinda.
Dealing with frustration and guilt about the incident, Charles finds his life getting even worst but then is forced to deal with the criminal for a second time as LaRoche pesters Charles's family and threatens to let them know about his affairs if not paid heavily for keeping quiet.
"Derailed" is just your average thriller involving two big names (Aniston and Owen). These types of movies have been made for several years now and always tend to make a nice amount of money for minimal special effects and a nice twist. "Derailed" falls straight into this category. I must admit, I was very entertained by the constant twists and bloody violence of the film, but failed to see myself considering it to be a "good" movie. The only thing that makes this film different from all of those "other thrillers" was the wonderful performance given from Clive Owen. He proves to me once again that he is a wonderful actor and can fit into any role, even the fall guy. Overall, "Derailed is a mediocre thriller that will entertain but not amaze".
I recommend this film.
