Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The ever-limber Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in the entertainingly over-the-top action flick Derailed. The plot has to do with a deadly virus on a runaway train, but that's hardly the point--what makes the movie fly along is the ridiculous yet entirely enjoyable escalation of plot devices: not only is Van Damme on the train to protect a beautiful high-tech thief (Laura Elena Harring, Mulholland Drive), not only is the train hijacked by terrorists, not only is the virus actually released into the train's ventilation system, not only is the engine on fire, but Van Damme's family came on board to surprise him on his birthday and are now being used as pawns by the terrorists. Derailed is also loaded with spectacle: car chases, shootouts, explosions, a train collision, hand-to-hand combat, and Van Damme riding a motorcycle on top of the train--you really couldn't ask for more. Sheer trashy fun. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description
A clandestine love affair may claim a terrible price from two desperate people in this intelligent thriller. Charles Schine (Clive Owen) is an advertising executive who is happily married to Deana (Melissa George) and has a young daughter. However, that begins to change when Charles meets Lucinda Harris (Jennifer Aniston) on a commuter train. Lucinda, who is also married with a daughter, keep bumping into Charles on the train, and they strike up a friendship that soon grows into something deeper. Eventually Charles and Lucinda fall into infidelity, but the consequences turn out to be greater than they imagined; Philippe Laroche (Vincent Cassel) is a dangerous criminal with a taste for violence who has learned about the affair. Laroche demands a substantial payment if he is to keep the word of Charles and Lucinda's relationship from their spouses, but they become convinced that Laroche is not to be trusted and that he may mean to do greater harm to their loved ones that simply telling them they've been unfaithful. Derailed was the first American project for Swedish filmmaker Mikael Hafstrom.

With a nasty villain and a plot twist that will take many viewers by surprise, Derailed is the kind of potboiler that's enjoyable in spite of its flaws. It's basically two-thirds of a good movie, with a convincing set-up and a barely plausible payoff that... well, you've just got to see it and decide for yourself. Like Fatal Attraction, it's a good-enough thriller that turns infidelity into every man's nightmare, beginning when Charles (Clive Owen), a well-to-do Chicago advertising director with a sickly, diabetic daughter and a slightly troubled marriage, has a chance encounter with Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston), a lovely and quick-witted financial advisor who's also stuck in a marital rut. Their chemistry is instant (between both characters and stars), but their eventual hotel tryst is interrupted by a mugger (French actor Vincent Cassel at his vile, despicable best) who's out to milk Charles for every dollar he's got. Of course, one phone call to the police would solve everyone's problems, but as he did with Collateral (albeit more convincingly), screenwriter Stuart Beattie turns up the tension with such manipulative skill that you're willing to skate past the plot holes and go along for the ride. With lively supporting performances by rappers Xzibit and RZA, Derailed marks a commercially slick American debut for Swedish director Mikael Håfström, whose 2003 thriller Evil was a Best Foreign Film Oscar®-nominee. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews:
Fell off its own track from its own release........2007-07-01
Horror and Comedy would've probably been better genres than the obvious General, Mystery, and Suspense genres for this movie. The plot is bad enough that the normal genres don't work well. If you want a movie to laugh at, this is the movie for you. If you're looking for quality suspense or watching it just for Aniston, don't even consider. There's not enough to see of Aniston to make it worth the "unrated" that this version is. The movie was so bad that a bookstore owner was nagging me to buy it even though he didn't like it just so I could get rid of some of my bookstore credit because I have a ton of it that I haven't had to use.
Aniston and Owen play their roles well and know how to be sexy and seductive in their own ways. Aniston's role is different from her friends' role. Cox in the TV series Dirt and Aniston in this movie can definitely relate to each other. The guy who plays LaRoche, whose role is probably the hardest, plays multiple personalities and the twists in the movie are cool. The part where Charles (played by Owen) admits the situation to his wife comes off as a bit awkward when we are left hanging about what he says to her even though it's not crucial to the rest of the story. The beginning of the movie is boring too. A background is needed for the story, but they probably could've shortened up the story and thrown in something to complicate the story more.
And the moral is..........2007-06-27
don't have an affair! Really.
A pretty freaky movie, quite a thriller. Jennifer Aniston's acting really impressed me - especially because this was so different than most of her other roles. Clive Owens was great as always.
I liked the fact that they met on a train. Trains have always intrigued me and they're part of many good novels and movies (such as Anna Karenina...ok that's the only one I can think of right now).
Some disturbing scenes, but they might seem less disturbing by the end of the movie.
Good Rental Movie.......2007-06-14
I bought this of course because Clive Owen is awesome. If you have not previously read the novel which this film was based on you get some nice twists and turns. There are no spectacular performances to speak of, Vincent Cassel is always charming. I enjoyed the music and I think it's an overall decent film. 3.5 stars.
Derailed: Plenty of twists and turns.......2007-06-09
Charlie is living the American dream: successful job, beautiful wife, and a house in the suburbs. One morning he is running late, misses his train and forgets to buy a ticket. A mysterious yet beautiful woman agrees to pay his fare. He pays her back with dinner and few other secret meetings and the truth comes out:they both are married, miserable in their jobs and life in general but are stuck because of their kids. They end up in a hotel and after a brief encounter and I do mean brief, they vow to never see each other again. End of story. Right? Well enter the psychopathic criminal with the strong accent. What does he want or better yet what does he know? He knows all about the affair, Charlie's work phone number, home phone number, and even makes a visit to Charlie's house. When Charlie agrees to pay him the money he wants, he only wants more and in the end wants Charlie's life. The ending will surprise you but not until you have taken the full ride with plenty of twists and turns.
Great entertainment.......2007-05-20
Although I'm not a big fan of Jennifer Aniston's, I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced thriller about a married man who meets an attractive woman on a train and arranges a hookup. His relationship with his wife is strained because their young daughter is seriously ill and the woman that he, Clive Owens, meets, Aniston, offers the promise of soothing his pain. Little does he know that the heartache and nightmares are about to begin!
Jennifer Aniston plays a different type role, which is nice to see since she's usually typecast in that boppy, upbeat and giggly kind of way. She is serious, almost too much so, as a high-powered businesswoman.
Owens, who I just saw in Children of Men, does a marvelous job and I loved the unpredictability of the story. Looks as though he's on his way to being the next Nicolas Cage.

Description
Jennifer Aniston (Emmy Award winner, Friends), as you've never seen her before, stars with Clive Owen (Golden Globe winner, Closer) in this "stylish and entertaining thriller" (Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper). Married man Charles Schine (Owen) meets Lucinda Harris (Aniston), a high-powered investment banker on a commuter train one morning. An innocent conversation leads to an evening drink. Before either one can stop it, their aroused passions lead to a sizzling one-night stand. Suddenly a stranger explodes into their world, threatening to expose their secret, and lures them into a terrifying game with more surprises than they saw coming. Hang on for dear life, because "Not since Fatal Attraction have the potential pitfalls of marital infidelity been so frighteningly portrayed in a movie (Arizona Republic)."

The ever-limber Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in the entertainingly over-the-top action flick Derailed. The plot has to do with a deadly virus on a runaway train, but that's hardly the point--what makes the movie fly along is the ridiculous yet entirely enjoyable escalation of plot devices: not only is Van Damme on the train to protect a beautiful high-tech thief (Laura Elena Harring, Mulholland Drive), not only is the train hijacked by terrorists, not only is the virus actually released into the train's ventilation system, not only is the engine on fire, but Van Damme's family came on board to surprise him on his birthday and are now being used as pawns by the terrorists. Derailed is also loaded with spectacle: car chases, shootouts, explosions, a train collision, hand-to-hand combat, and Van Damme riding a motorcycle on top of the train--you really couldn't ask for more. Sheer trashy fun. --Bret Fetzer
Customer Reviews:
very entertaining for low budget movie .......2006-09-27
well for its budget this movie is very entertaining and a lot of action has some good fighting van damme is good lots of fun.
How bad can things get ?.......2005-12-21
I dont normally slate films but this one was asking for it so bad.
OMG- It saddens me to think the director got paid for this.
Please someone- write & direct a good film for Van Damme- he deserves better than this...
Damme! What a lousy movie.......2005-01-30
There were so many things wrong with this movie. Featuring Jean Claude van Damme as agent Shaq (I think his name was Shaq...yeah that's right...I think...) who guards a woman who has stolen a powerful hybrid of small pox from the Slovakian government.
By now you're thinking, "What?" Hang with me, we're not done yet.
Shaq and the female thief catch a train heading to Germany. Shaq gets an unpleasant surprise when his American family happens to be on the same train to surprise him.
You're probably blinking in astonishment. Hang on, I'm not even to the conflict yet.
Unfortunately, terrorists hijack the train and put everyone in a room for hostages. Shaq handles the situation by crashing through a window, beating people up for five minutes then getting knocked out with one punch. Yes you read that right. Kicking people and windows are no problem, but a tap on the head, that's another matter.
Shaq escapes and begins to take out the villains bit by bit. One fight scene in the automobile compartment involves Shaq riding a motorcycle out of the compartment, onto the TOP OF THE TRAIN while its STILL MOVING, then JUMPING onto A PASSING TRAIN and riding off that train ONTO THE GROUND and DRIVING AWAY FINE.
No, don't stop reading the review, the movie's not done.
Shaq gets back on the train and fights the last few villains while another train collides with his locomotive. You're probably thinking, "So there's a major train crash?" No, the train collides at the end of the train with the front untouched. Characters explain this as hitting the back of the train...which still doesn't make sense as the rear of the train is connected to the REST of the train. But a friend and I came up with our own theory. You see, the front of the train was going so fast at the moment it was transported to another dimension. Hence only the rear was affected, while the front came by unscathed.
Besides the fact its basically a rip-off of "Under Siege 2" which was "Die Hard" on a train (ripping off a rip-off, how does that work?) this movie will either have you shaking your head in confusion or going for the headache pills from start to finish. The good news is this is one of those bad movies you can make fun of, as opposed to those that make you feel dumber by the minute. Between NATO headquarters being in Bonn to Shaq's wife telling the World Health Organization how to handle diseases like they wouldn't know, you'll find reason to laugh at this movie. Intentional or not.
Rock bottom with a bang........2005-01-20
I hated this Van Damme movie. I own all his others but I could not bring myself to add this to my Van Damme collection. I found this to be a very bad movie with very low production values. There was nothing in this movie for me other than annoyance. Very poor direction, cheap and laughable special effects, particularly the exterior train sequences where the train looks like it is made of wood, illuminated with a light bulb from the inside and pulled along by a piece of string. Bad lighting, badly filmed, executed and edited martial arts and action sequences. Laughable acting performances from all including Van Damme. Very bad audio post production special effects to such an extent that at times you can't hear character dialogue. I got the impression that a lot of this was filmed in very low lighting conditions to hide the cheap sets and obvious poor special effects. Basically the movie is a cheap rip off version from a mix of Under Siege 2 with Steven Seagal and The Cassandra Crossing with the late Richard Harris. I would say to anyone thinking of buying this to go and rent it on the cheap first before splashing out your cash. You might be thankful you did.
Good Van Damme movie but low budget........2005-01-15
I bought this movie about 3 years ago but never posted a Review but now i think i should.
This was a good Van Damme movie and that its a copy of under siege is a lie (ive seen under siege its not) this movie was good not just for a Van Damme film but a fan of a good action movie period.
The movie starts off showing a thief, she breaks into a government facility and steals from there. Then later on we see Van Damme at a resturant talking to a man about a mission hes gonna do, hes to meet up with a Thief and the man shows van damme the picture. Van Damme agrees to this but his wife is mad because he never gets to spend time with his kids but he says hell be back.
Later on in the movie Van Damme finds out that he was set up from the beggning, theres a bilogical weapon on the train and if it gets out it could destroy all of mankind (or those born after like 1980 it said or something).
All in all this is a about a man whos trying to stop a deadly virus, knowone else can but we know that VAN DAMME CAN!!

With a nasty villain and a plot twist that will take many viewers by surprise, Derailed is the kind of potboiler that's enjoyable in spite of its flaws. It's basically two-thirds of a good movie, with a convincing set-up and a barely plausible payoff that... well, you've just got to see it and decide for yourself. Like Fatal Attraction, it's a good-enough thriller that turns infidelity into every man's nightmare, beginning when Charles (Clive Owen), a well-to-do Chicago advertising director with a sickly, diabetic daughter and a slightly troubled marriage, has a chance encounter with Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston), a lovely and quick-witted financial advisor who's also stuck in a marital rut. Their chemistry is instant (between both characters and stars), but their eventual hotel tryst is interrupted by a mugger (French actor Vincent Cassel at his vile, despicable best) who's out to milk Charles for every dollar he's got. Of course, one phone call to the police would solve everyone's problems, but as he did with Collateral (albeit more convincingly), screenwriter Stuart Beattie turns up the tension with such manipulative skill that you're willing to skate past the plot holes and go along for the ride. With lively supporting performances by rappers Xzibit and RZA, Derailed marks a commercially slick American debut for Swedish director Mikael Håfström, whose 2003 thriller Evil was a Best Foreign Film Oscar®-nominee. --Jeff Shannon
Description
Jennifer Aniston (Emmy Award winner, Friends), as you've never seen her before, stars with Clive Owen (Golden Globe winner, Closer) in this "stylish and entertaining thriller" (Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper). Married man Charles Schine (Owen) meets Lucinda Harris (Aniston), a high-powered investment banker on a commuter train one morning. An innocent conversation leads to an evening drink. Before either one can stop it, their aroused passions lead to a sizzling one-night stand. Suddenly a stranger explodes into their world, threatening to expose their secret, and lures them into a terrifying game with more surprises than they saw coming. Hang on for dear life, because "Not since Fatal Attraction have the potential pitfalls of marital infidelity been so frighteningly portrayed in a movie (Arizona Republic)."

Fell off its own track from its own release........2007-07-01
Horror and Comedy would've probably been better genres than the obvious General, Mystery, and Suspense genres for this movie. The plot is bad enough that the normal genres don't work well. If you want a movie to laugh at, this is the movie for you. If you're looking for quality suspense or watching it just for Aniston, don't even consider. There's not enough to see of Aniston to make it worth the "unrated" that this version is. The movie was so bad that a bookstore owner was nagging me to buy it even though he didn't like it just so I could get rid of some of my bookstore credit because I have a ton of it that I haven't had to use.
Aniston and Owen play their roles well and know how to be sexy and seductive in their own ways. Aniston's role is different from her friends' role. Cox in the TV series Dirt and Aniston in this movie can definitely relate to each other. The guy who plays LaRoche, whose role is probably the hardest, plays multiple personalities and the twists in the movie are cool. The part where Charles (played by Owen) admits the situation to his wife comes off as a bit awkward when we are left hanging about what he says to her even though it's not crucial to the rest of the story. The beginning of the movie is boring too. A background is needed for the story, but they probably could've shortened up the story and thrown in something to complicate the story more.
And the moral is..........2007-06-27
don't have an affair! Really.
A pretty freaky movie, quite a thriller. Jennifer Aniston's acting really impressed me - especially because this was so different than most of her other roles. Clive Owens was great as always.
I liked the fact that they met on a train. Trains have always intrigued me and they're part of many good novels and movies (such as Anna Karenina...ok that's the only one I can think of right now).
Some disturbing scenes, but they might seem less disturbing by the end of the movie.
Good Rental Movie.......2007-06-14
I bought this of course because Clive Owen is awesome. If you have not previously read the novel which this film was based on you get some nice twists and turns. There are no spectacular performances to speak of, Vincent Cassel is always charming. I enjoyed the music and I think it's an overall decent film. 3.5 stars.
Derailed: Plenty of twists and turns.......2007-06-09
Charlie is living the American dream: successful job, beautiful wife, and a house in the suburbs. One morning he is running late, misses his train and forgets to buy a ticket. A mysterious yet beautiful woman agrees to pay his fare. He pays her back with dinner and few other secret meetings and the truth comes out:they both are married, miserable in their jobs and life in general but are stuck because of their kids. They end up in a hotel and after a brief encounter and I do mean brief, they vow to never see each other again. End of story. Right? Well enter the psychopathic criminal with the strong accent. What does he want or better yet what does he know? He knows all about the affair, Charlie's work phone number, home phone number, and even makes a visit to Charlie's house. When Charlie agrees to pay him the money he wants, he only wants more and in the end wants Charlie's life. The ending will surprise you but not until you have taken the full ride with plenty of twists and turns.
Great entertainment.......2007-05-20
Although I'm not a big fan of Jennifer Aniston's, I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced thriller about a married man who meets an attractive woman on a train and arranges a hookup. His relationship with his wife is strained because their young daughter is seriously ill and the woman that he, Clive Owens, meets, Aniston, offers the promise of soothing his pain. Little does he know that the heartache and nightmares are about to begin!
Jennifer Aniston plays a different type role, which is nice to see since she's usually typecast in that boppy, upbeat and giggly kind of way. She is serious, almost too much so, as a high-powered businesswoman.
Owens, who I just saw in Children of Men, does a marvelous job and I loved the unpredictability of the story. Looks as though he's on his way to being the next Nicolas Cage.

The ever-limber Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in the entertainingly over-the-top action flick Derailed. The plot has to do with a deadly virus on a runaway train, but that's hardly the point--what makes the movie fly along is the ridiculous yet entirely enjoyable escalation of plot devices: not only is Van Damme on the train to protect a beautiful high-tech thief (Laura Elena Harring, Mulholland Drive), not only is the train hijacked by terrorists, not only is the virus actually released into the train's ventilation system, not only is the engine on fire, but Van Damme's family came on board to surprise him on his birthday and are now being used as pawns by the terrorists. Derailed is also loaded with spectacle: car chases, shootouts, explosions, a train collision, hand-to-hand combat, and Van Damme riding a motorcycle on top of the train--you really couldn't ask for more. Sheer trashy fun. --Bret Fetzer

very entertaining for low budget movie .......2006-09-27
well for its budget this movie is very entertaining and a lot of action has some good fighting van damme is good lots of fun.
How bad can things get ?.......2005-12-21
I dont normally slate films but this one was asking for it so bad.
OMG- It saddens me to think the director got paid for this.
Please someone- write & direct a good film for Van Damme- he deserves better than this...
Damme! What a lousy movie.......2005-01-30
There were so many things wrong with this movie. Featuring Jean Claude van Damme as agent Shaq (I think his name was Shaq...yeah that's right...I think...) who guards a woman who has stolen a powerful hybrid of small pox from the Slovakian government.
By now you're thinking, "What?" Hang with me, we're not done yet.
Shaq and the female thief catch a train heading to Germany. Shaq gets an unpleasant surprise when his American family happens to be on the same train to surprise him.
You're probably blinking in astonishment. Hang on, I'm not even to the conflict yet.
Unfortunately, terrorists hijack the train and put everyone in a room for hostages. Shaq handles the situation by crashing through a window, beating people up for five minutes then getting knocked out with one punch. Yes you read that right. Kicking people and windows are no problem, but a tap on the head, that's another matter.
Shaq escapes and begins to take out the villains bit by bit. One fight scene in the automobile compartment involves Shaq riding a motorcycle out of the compartment, onto the TOP OF THE TRAIN while its STILL MOVING, then JUMPING onto A PASSING TRAIN and riding off that train ONTO THE GROUND and DRIVING AWAY FINE.
No, don't stop reading the review, the movie's not done.
Shaq gets back on the train and fights the last few villains while another train collides with his locomotive. You're probably thinking, "So there's a major train crash?" No, the train collides at the end of the train with the front untouched. Characters explain this as hitting the back of the train...which still doesn't make sense as the rear of the train is connected to the REST of the train. But a friend and I came up with our own theory. You see, the front of the train was going so fast at the moment it was transported to another dimension. Hence only the rear was affected, while the front came by unscathed.
Besides the fact its basically a rip-off of "Under Siege 2" which was "Die Hard" on a train (ripping off a rip-off, how does that work?) this movie will either have you shaking your head in confusion or going for the headache pills from start to finish. The good news is this is one of those bad movies you can make fun of, as opposed to those that make you feel dumber by the minute. Between NATO headquarters being in Bonn to Shaq's wife telling the World Health Organization how to handle diseases like they wouldn't know, you'll find reason to laugh at this movie. Intentional or not.
