Movie Review - Derailed (2005)

Directed by Mikael Hafstrom; written by Stuart Beattie; photographed by Peter Biziou; edited by Peter Boyle; production designed by Andrew Laws; produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Rated R for strong disturbing violence, language and some sexuality.

Charles Schine - Clive Owen
Lucinda Harris - Jennifer Aniston

Charles Schine (played by Clive Owen) is a Chicago ad man in this new version of “Fatal Attraction” for the year 2005. He is a guy who neglects his wife and daughter. But more troubles wait for him at the office. That's the setup.

Then Plot Point 1: here comes the gorgeous Lucinda Harris (Jennifer Aniston) who lends him the money he needs for train ticket. Then the train ride. Followed by an intimate lunch and we have a love affair running on all cylinders.

But as it happens in the movies, Charles is threatened by the blackmailer Philippe Laroche (played by Vincent Cassel). It's pay up 100-Gs or else. That's Plot Point 2.

After so many plots twists and turns, at the end everybody with a gun directs it at everybody else in a true pulp-fiction way.

The somewhat implausible flick leaves us with one message – if you play, baby you're gonna pay!

Go see it if you enjoy cheap thrillers and the lovely Jen Aniston.
