Product 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)."

Reviewed on 2008-07-16 good but kind of stupid The first obervation is that all of the blacks in this film were thugs, cons, ex-cons or related to an ex-con. This is pathetic. The film was made in 2005, but we are now living in a time when an African-American stands the best chance than ever of becoming the president. Other than its portrayal of blacks, the film has a very simple plot and nothing comes as too much of a suprise. It has its moments but mostly on the level of a cheaply made TV police drama. From the first scene on the train, it's easy to figure that Jennifer Anniston's character is up to something. The way she talks to the man on the train is indicative of a woman who is a practiced seductress. Then we wonder where she got her experience. The robbery/rape scene seems strange from the beginning. My initial thoughts were: why is he doing that? What kind of criminal would do something so stupid? Jennifer Anniston's character says somewhere in the film "we never appreciate or value what we have". I think this is basically what the gist of the film is all about. The main character in the film didn't appreciate what he had with his family, otherwise he would have never got tangled up in that mess which costed him so much more than just his bank account.

Reviewed on 2008-05-15 Surprisingly Good This is a good, solid movie, well above average. The plot twists are very entertaining, and I didn't see any of them coming. The video and sound on the DVD are very good. This is worth a purchase at around $5-6.

Reviewed on 2008-05-02 Derailed and decieved I've always loved thrillers, that "who done it" mentality, and wondering what will happen next. Perhaps the best thing about these movies is guessing who really is the villain and what the bigger plan is. For me, I guessed the ending about halfway through the movie and left the remainder to unfold. Still, this was a good movie. Clive Owen plays Charles, a well to do, average guy in a Chicago suburb who is living a somewhat boring and somewhat troubled life. His marriage is not exactly happy these days, and he has a sickly, diabetic child who is taking a toll on him. On a train to the city one day, he meets a clever, cheerful Jennifer Aniston. They go from casual aquaintences to friends, then, thinking this is going to turn into a Fatal Attraction-esque movie, he decides to have a tryst with Aniston in a sleazy hotel room. Their encounter goes terribly wrong when a mugger breaks in, and soon he is being terrorized literally and figuratively by his own guilt and the mugger's continued harassment of him and his family. How many little moments of insanity have cost us things? Adultery, wanting to steal that pretty little item, greediness, and jealousy have always motivated us to do things we wish we hadn't. And we wish we hadn't given into those little wants or needs that ended up costing us things. It is part of life's learning experiences. None of us are perfect. This is an extreme example of what happens when we don't think about the consequences of our actions. A good movie, a tad predictable, but still a good time.
