Breath taking

A Customer from England, 6th February, 2006

A really great script. the plot has so many unexpected twists. the action is fast pased and nobody is miraculously saved, everyone gets to suffer in a way or another and there aren't many special effects, all these making it look more realistic. i would strongly recommend this film to the persons who like a film that will intrigue them until the end.

Derailed.....says it all!!!

balearicbayes from , 22nd May, 2008

I wasn't expecting great things when this arrived, afterall it does star Jennifer Anniston, but I thought at least it would be keep me entertained for a couple of hours.... Well I was wrong because the script was shocking as was the laughable plot narrative, which kept me shouting 'huh' throughout this so called 'thriller'. It simply threw up too many unbelievable scenario's for me to completely enjoy this film. Why oh why would Clive Owens character be best buds with the drug dealing ex crim mailboy, who deoesn't seem to have a problem with bumping off the comedy french villain ( la douchebag or something similar) Why would the detective (incidently looking like Morgan Freeman in Seven) investigating the mailboys death describe him 'like a brother'? Come on, get real!!! How come Clive Owen was so willing to hand over $100,000 of his sick daughters savings when he didn't even get to sleep with Jennifer Anniston? Why didn't he just call the police? I must admit the twist was a pretty good one, but they didn't keep it up and it soon fell flat again!!! Jennifer Anniston is by no means a convincing female villain, and even by the end she was feeling guilty about Clive Owens sick daughter!!! The ending was so bad I'm not even gonna bother going there, just take my word that it goes downhill pretty quick. I was left at the end thinking 'so what?' which was disappointing!!!!

Off the rails

Mbub from Westbury, Wilts, 4th April, 2007

Although this is a slow film, it was tence enough to hold my attention to the end. I guessed about halfway through what was going to happen, but the ending came as a bit of a surprize, which was good. Jennifer Aniston was actually pretty watchable in this, maybe theres hope for her yet.

Be Prepared To Be Derailed!

Gary from Croydon, London, 22nd June, 2006

This is one of the best thrillers in recent years without a doubt. It has the Hitchcock theme of 1 man literally pilled up against the odds. Firstly one strong point that this movie is giving off is the remarkable performances! Especially from Aniston I never new she could act! She really actually crazily does all right in this movie but Owen really does capture the movie. This thriller has some really interesting twists and manipulation techniques that keep you watching. There isn’t much action in this movie it’s mainly set around dialogue and key scenes that progress the movie. Just after you watch the film you just know you have seen a strong piece of work that really did what it set out to do. The main twist at the end becomes a little clearer as soon as some key information is let loosed but apart from that its a strong, dialogue based, hard thriller that has some really nice moments of thrills. 4 out of 5 stars

Read the book

A Customer from Fife, 12th March, 2010

After this had gome 3 minutes I realised I had read the book. I did not enjoy the book. Clive Owens and Jennifer Arniston did not come across as the characters in the book in the time I watched the movie. Enough said although I did watch about 20 minutes worth before I gave up on it.

Totally unexpected film

A Customer from Farnborough, 9th March, 2010

I don't give 5 stars very often, but this one definitely deserved it. Admittedly, you have to stick at it for the first half hour or so until the story stars to unwind, but after that it is a total roller coaster ride. To say that it has a lot of twists and turns is an understatement. The number of times I was surprised was very refreshing in a film. The acting was good and made a great thriller. I would highly recommend it and would gladly watch it again, even though I know what is to come.
