Movie Reviews of Derailed (Unrated Widescreen)
Movie Review: What movie were you watching?
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually read the brilliant novel Derailed by James Siegel before going to see this movie. The movie stays fairly true to the movie but changes some aspects. The book and the movie are both excellent. The problem I am facing right now is that I am at a loss why everyone dissliked this movie. For all of you that say that you saw the twist coming, well good job, because I have no idea how that is possible. You might as well join the FBI and hunt down killers' next moves if you're that bright. Sure, when I saw the movie, I saw it coming..but only because I READ THE BOOK FIRST! I thought that the plot twists were ingenious and really made the movie so much better.
Derailed's plot for one is outstanding. It's kind of like a hitchcock movie..only a newer version. Charles (Clive Owen) is a good guy. He's a good worker with a wife and a little daughter. His daughter has diabetes which makes his life sad at times but still wonderful. His daughter is wonderfully cast.
He misses his regular train to work...gets on the next one but figures out that his wife has taken all of his moeny. So a sexy woman named Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston) pays for him. She is also married and has a daughter. They are infatuated with each other and start breaking their vows. They go to a hotel room to do you know what until a man named La Roche (Vincent Cassel) breaks in, steals their money and rapes Lucinda before the helpless Charles who's been beating up. This man decides then to blackmail them, figuring that they don't want to telly their spouses what they have done. He figured right. What comes next is an unpredictable thriller with a brilliant finale.
Don't listen to people, this movie is unpredictable and really awesome. I've also had enough of people saying that Clive Owen's character is too weak in the movie. First of all, he's not Arnold. Secondly, it's realistic...he's getting the crap beaten out of him and is scared. That's his character for the movie and he develops throughout.
The cast for one is outstanding notably Vincent Cassel who brings Laroche to life with extreme vivacity.
After having read the book, this movie trully brought it to life and the cast was just as I pictured. The two leads are good and RZA surprisingly is really good.
So please watch this awesome thriller with some huge twists that is a new kind of Hitchcock movie. And to tell you the truth, it's one of my faves of the year and one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. No, I'm not kidding.
Summary of Derailed (Unrated Widescreen)
DVD.With a nasty villain and a plot twist that will take many viewers by surprise, Derailed is the kind of potboiler that's enjoyable in spite of its flaws. It's basically two-thirds of a good movie, with a convincing set-up and a barely plausible payoff that... well, you've just got to see it and decide for yourself. Like Fatal Attraction, it's a good-enough thriller that turns infidelity into every man's nightmare, beginning when Charles (Clive Owen), a well-to-do Chicago advertising director with a sickly, diabetic daughter and a slightly troubled marriage, has a chance encounter with Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston), a lovely and quick-witted financial advisor who's also stuck in a marital rut. Their chemistry is instant (between both characters and stars), but their eventual hotel tryst is interrupted by a mugger (French actor Vincent Cassel at his vile, despicable best) who's out to milk Charles for every dollar he's got. Of course, one phone call to the police would solve everyone's problems, but as he did with Collateral (albeit more convincingly), screenwriter Stuart Beattie turns up the tension with such manipulative skill that you're willing to skate past the plot holes and go along for the ride. With lively supporting performances by rappers Xzibit and RZA, Derailed marks a commercially slick American debut for Swedish director Mikael Håfström, whose 2003 thriller Evil was a Best Foreign Film Oscar®-nominee. --Jeff Shannon
