Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

joemjv This movie is fantastic. The story developed in a way that made you always wanted to know what is going to happen next and it kept me entertained. The whole cast was great. Amazing performances by Vincent, Clive and Jennifer Aniston and absolutely loved the way Xzibit acted on this movie. Recommended!

dalekenworthy Just writing this to add weight to the fact that this film is seriously underrated. As a couple that watch friends on a daily basis, we were eager to see a serious film with Jennifer Aniston in it. I can honestly say that I never once thought of her as Rachel, Her performance was very surprising for us and was excellent, as were all the rest of the cast, Vincent Cassel plays a Major part in setting the mood of the film, his performance is superb. The plot is great, some people said they knew what was going to happen but we didn't and we watch a lot of films of all types. I would highly recommend that you ignore the low score and give this film a chance, i'm sure you will find it as entertaining and powerful as we did.

Seth Hernandez Seth Hernandez Carlie Smith English 1301 20 November 2012 Derailed is a movie that got a 6.5 out of 10 rating in IMDb. This movie was about an ordinary married man and a moderate woman who meet each other on a train. They start spending time together and keep in touch with each other. They decide to go to a hotel and have an affair. During this time a mugger shows up into their room, beats Charlie and rapes Lucinda. They later go on with their lives for a couple of months. The mugger later blackmails Charlie to giving him all sorts of money or he was going to tell his wife or do something to his family. Charlie is forced to do what he asks. The director uses situational irony to bring suspense to the movie. He uses situational irony by showing that Charlie is doing everything possible so the mugger doesn't mess with Lucinda. When in the long run Lucinda is the one who is actually hurting him and Charlie is clueless on the situation. Even though the rating for Derailed was not that high. The use of situational irony helped move the plot and made it more interesting to me the viewer. It made it interesting because it set you up to think a certain way, then it dramatically changed when you were least expecting it. I like the way it did that because it not only made it an action thriller, but a psychological thriller as well. Overall, the movie was interesting because it grabbed my attention and made me wonder what would happen next. The actors in this movie did an exceptional job in playing their roles. They were very convincing and Jennifer Aniston played the role of Lucinda well despite her not being known for playing such a role. She made it seem as if she was a victim in the situation, when in the scheme of things, she played the most important role. Then you have Clive Owen who played the role of Charlie. He did a good job in playing such an innocent role and really got into his character. I feel that this movie should of maybe got a better rating then a 6.5 out of 10 If it was me, then I would have given it a 8 out of 10 rating. People may disagree with my review over this movie. They may say that it was not good, just look at the rating it got a 6.5 out of 10. One thing that the movie might not have done well was the way the movie ended. It was somewhat close to a Cinderella movie ending because Charlie got away with almost having an affair and went on with his life. His wife never found out about anything that he was doing. I feel that they could have made the ending better. Maybe do something drastic to cause another dramatic twist so the viewer could be left in awe. Other then that I feel the movie should have received the rating I recommended.

ilvevh 5/10 Good story line but not something you will rave about to your friends the next day.The story had a lot of potential but the slow start and really weak and unrealistic ending really brought the movie down. The ending was so ill thought out it was comical.The affair couple have the same expression on their face the entire movie; dull personality and dull expressions.It's a decent movie to have a quiet night at home and relax to with a glass of wine with a loved one. Chances of the male falling asleep are about 65%. I struggled to keep my man awake for the first half of the movie.To sum it up; if its free and there is nothing else on give it a go, if you miss it you aren't missing out on much.
