Yet another in the seemingly endless line of stupid, generic thrillers that Hollywood foists upon the movie-going public.

Reviews for Derailed
Top CriticSomeone 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.
11/30/05
Top CriticIt 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.
11/14/05
Top Critic[Derailed has] a ludicrous script whose twists and turns are laughably obvious or just plain laughable.
11/11/05
Top CriticThey Never Saw It Coming, teases the poster for Derailed, and you have to wonder if blindness is now a prerequisite for Hollywood characters.
11/11/05
Top CriticDerailed is a choo-choo bound for oblivion - - and making no stops for plausibility along the way.
11/11/05
Top CriticLike a runaway train, the movie hurtles over the tracks so fast, you can barely keep up with the incongruities.
11/11/05
Top CriticDerailed is one of those thrillers that makes you wish the main characters watched more thrillers, because then they wouldn't act like chumps.
11/11/05
Top CriticDerailed is just entertaining enough if you approach it with appropriately low expectations.
11/11/05
Top CriticNo 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.
11/11/05
Top CriticWhat 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.
11/11/05
Top CriticIn the end, the movie has the musty odor of a cheap hotel room, the kind where you're not entirely convinced that the management bothers to change the sheets after every guest.
11/11/05
Top CriticShot 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.
11/11/05
Top CriticDerailed" - - a pure popcorn thriller - - may find it hard to make a dent at the box office. But it is worth seeing.
11/11/05
Top CriticDerailed doesn't hold up. At the end, we want more, or less, or different.
11/11/05
Top CriticDerailed is a tawdry, predictable hunk of movie headcheese.
11/11/05
Top CriticDrawn-out, clunky and uneasily acted, as well as exasperating.
11/10/05
Top CriticIf Deceived was Hitchcock Lite, Derailed is Extra Lite -- there's no caloric content whatsoever.
11/10/05
Top CriticFans of Owen will want to see Derailed but most others will feel that where plausibility is concerned, it falls off the tracks.
11/10/05
Top CriticJennifer Aniston and Clive Owen star in this glossy and often risible bit of trash about an adulterous affair gone bad, bad, bad.
