| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 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: 2.5/5 | 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

All of Owen's problems would go away if he just went to the police.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 6, 2005

Someone had to work extra hard to make a movie this bad with two likeable leads like Mr. Owen and Ms. Aniston. I can't figure out why.

| Nov 30, 2005

It has a great look, a couple of genuinely terrifying turns and a surprise or two that I didn't see coming. This is a flawed but stylish and entertaining thriller.

Full Review | Nov 14, 2005

[Derailed has] a ludicrous script whose twists and turns are laughably obvious or just plain laughable.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 11, 2005

As long as Clive Owen is on his own, solving problems and planning revenge, Derailed is a reasonably gripping thriller.

They Never Saw It Coming, teases the poster for Derailed, and you have to wonder if blindness is now a prerequisite for Hollywood characters.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 11, 2005

Derailed is a choo-choo bound for oblivion - - and making no stops for plausibility along the way.

Full Review | Original Score: .5/4 | Nov 11, 2005

Like a runaway train, the movie hurtles over the tracks so fast, you can barely keep up with the incongruities.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 11, 2005

Derailed is one of those thrillers that makes you wish the main characters watched more thrillers, because then they wouldn't act like chumps.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 11, 2005

Derailed is just entertaining enough if you approach it with appropriately low expectations.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 11, 2005

No one is terrible in this film. The acting is passable; the camera's in focus; the lines make sense. But it's all been done before, far too often.

Full Review | Original Score: D+ | Nov 11, 2005

What we can't quite get our head around is the fact that as urbane and smart as Charles would seem to be, he doesn't appear to have ever seen even one film noir movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 11, 2005

Shot without visual style, sharp dialogue or discernible logic, the movie seems to be riding entirely on the star power of Aniston, Clive Owen and the boastful Weinsteins.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 11, 2005

Derailed" - - a pure popcorn thriller - - may find it hard to make a dent at the box office. But it is worth seeing.

| Nov 11, 2005

Derailed doesn't hold up. At the end, we want more, or less, or different.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 11, 2005

Derailed is a tawdry, predictable hunk of movie headcheese.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 11, 2005

Derailed is that kind of semi-hypocritical drama that studios loved to make with Michael Douglas a decade or two ago... Only not as good.
