What to Know

Critics Consensus

With miscast stars, a ludicrous plot and an obvious twist, Derailed embodies its name all too aptly.

Derailed never fully engages our sympathies. I think that's because it's difficult to swallow Owen as anything other than eminently resourceful. Go to Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 12/06/2005

But, beginning to end, this is Clive Owen's show and the man who should have been James Bond dominates the screen like a Bengal Tiger slowly sharpening his claws. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Premiere Magazine 12/06/2005

Bryan D Jul 9 Clive Owen definitely performs in this thriller, with Jennifer Aniston. As Clive's character develops, the movie develops as well. Would recommend. See more amine karoui 09/03/2023 The movie is not that bad, there a special mood and that's one of the greatest quality that we can find for a movie of this kind...it's quiet an experience but don't expect a masterpiece ! ;) See more Jack O 06/19/2023 I really like this film for some reasons but I don't even know where to start with this. Derailed is one of those movies that people find the story so predictable and ludicrous, the book I think is much better for people cause for this movie has some twists and turns. Clive Owen is a good actor, Jennifer Aniston is good and Vincent Cassel is a great actor and he's good in it. He plays a good villain and on top of that the scene where he rapes Jennifer Aniston's character I just thought it was sex cause I can hear him say ''Hey Chuck, fxxk her like that.'' Good God! What's wrong with people back then? It has many plot holes which I don't understand however I can't even find the plot holes in any movies that I've watched but please give me a break. Derailed is just a good thrilling film with plot twists and a twist ending, I won't spoil it for you. I can watch it over and over if I had the chance. See more alan p 12/28/2022 As much as I adore Clive Owen.. this is the film that made me learn to loathe that actress who was quite possibly thee worst actress they could possibly have cast. But I do like Melissa George.. who would have been more convincing. See more Ęxçëşș M @ExcessMale 06/17/2022 It's standard at best as a thriller but Cassel here is fun to watch. See more 03/27/2021 Incredible final, i love it. Very nice and smooth. See more Read all reviews
