...a perpetually watchable yet undeniably generic thriller that benefits from its raft of compelling plot twists and relatively engaging performances...

A poor schmuck's History of Violence

| Sep 1, 2009

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2008

Talent is involved everywhere in "Derailed," and it all gets trashed in the final reel for the sake of teasing and then appeasing a bored November audience.

| Original Score: D | Jul 30, 2007

One of those forgettable efforts that's neither bad enough to completely dismiss nor good enough to wholly recommend.

| Mar 1, 2007

The only thing harder to believe than someone falling for so obvious a ruse is for that same someone to have any chance of getting even for it.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Dec 30, 2006

What finally derails the movie is that it thinks it's a lot smarter than it is.

Derailed's primary strength -- a topsy turvy plot that will keep viewers guessing -- is also its main weakness. While the story developments are exciting and often surprising, most are based on [Clive Owen's character] making the stupidest possible

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2006

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

Típico asunto de receta (con mensaje moral solapado) que pretende sorprender con supuestas "vueltas de tuerca" pero apenas logra entretener.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 30, 2006

Em retrospecto, os vários furos do roteiro se tornam óbvios, e o fato é que Aniston não convence como femme fatale. Mas Owen e Cassel nos mantém atentos e relativamente crédulos durante a projeção.

Vincent Cassel has a huge amount of fun as LaRoche, overacting the Evil Frenchman bit to the point where he's practically twirling a moustache.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 2, 2006

Derailed never fully engages our sympathies. I think that's because it's difficult to swallow Owen as anything other than eminently resourceful.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 6, 2005

But, beginning to end, this is Clive Owen's show and the man who should have been James Bond dominates the screen like a Bengal Tiger slowly sharpening his claws.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 6, 2005

Hitchcock did this sort of thing much, much better of course. But "Derailed"'s strangers on a train are still worth your nine bucks or so.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 6, 2005

It's difficult to imagine why any of the talented people involved in this instantly forgettable affair would have been tempted to bother.
