This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I was pleasantly surprised how good this movie was. It was suspenseful, entertaining, and had very good twists. Jennifer, Clive, and Vincent were all excellent. It is one of those movies that still holds my interest even though I had seen it before and know what happens.

Derailed (2005) does in fact get better as it goes, especially towards the ending. Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston really do have good on screen chemistry together. Jennifer Aniston really did great in her dramatic role, especially since she doesn't do very many films like this, she was tense, nervous, and even mysterious at different times, she puts her good range of acting abilities on display for all to see in Derailed. And Clive Owen is very spot on as well. The rest of the cast does a pretty good job too. The attack scene was well choreographed and well directed. The middle of the movie did go a bit too slow and stalled a little. That is really my only personal complaint, the stalling in the middle. The last half hour is very good, that's the best part hands down. The ending is great! It's surprising, and it's also very tense and edge of your seat. The reviews are very negative for this film overall and I can kind of see what they're talking about but considering the ending part, I think the review should've been higher, Because seriously the last half-hour really does make this movie. Now it's not a masterpiece and that's why I'm giving it a seven out of 10

Corporate incompetent even messes up having an affair, and suddenly everyone is in danger.Can a decent script ever find Jennifer Aniston? A good actress, as is Melissa George, but they're both sidelined in this story.Problem I have is this assumes the audience will root for the guy with a parasitic corporate job who's just providing for his family. No - I want to see how and why the con-artists do what they do. Much more interesting. Instead the story creates an us-and-them world, where good people live in big shiny buildings, bad people live in smelly hovels, and the hero must have his implausible way.The twist is hidden, but only in the sense that you suspected it but forgot while the story meandered on for half an hour. The run time is probably ten minutes too long, and the story really does grope for direction after the excellent opening sequences.Really good dialogue, all the actors sparking, but then too much emphasis on the hero. And on and on ... until, "I've made a horrible mistake" - why not throw that line in at the end of the first act, instead of waiting for 80 mins? That way the other characters could have pitched in to the story, instead of having brief wrap-up scenes in the end.

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.
