Derailed movie review, starring Clive Owen and Jennifer Anniston

Charles (Clive Owen) is depressed. His once good marriage to Deanna (Melissa George) is shadowed by the fact that their daughter (Addison Timlin) is type 1 diabetics, which means she has to live with a dialysis machine in the house. Charles loves his daughter and what she is going through is killing him- which is why he feels refreshed and alive when he meets Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston) on his commute to work. She is pretty, smart, fun and understanding. She seems to provide perfect escapism and he seems to embrace this. When they decide to actually have sex, they go to a hotel. However they are caught in the middle of the act by a brutal gunned man who beats the hell out of Charles and rapes Lucinda. Knowing all about their identities, he is after cash. Lots of it. Charles can’t go go the police- after all, Lucinda’s husband will take her daughter away if he finds about their affair. He has to find the money but there are two problems: Charles is not wealthy. Their entire savings are done to be able to afford a drug for their daughter…

I liked Derailed. I like both lead actors. Plus Vincent Cassel is a pretty neat psycho. It comes all so naturally to him. And don’t listen to people who say Jennifer can’t act or she will be stuck as Rachel for the rest of her life (even though Ricky Gervais made a good joke about this at the Golden Globes).

The story is good. It has some cool twists and turns and the storytelling made even the predictable ones enjoyable..

Verdict: Clive Owen+ in a well-paced thriller = Success. 6.6/10 on IMDB. 7.5/10 from me.
