Trivia
When LaRoche goes to Schine's house, he tells Schine's daughter in French: "Je m'appelle LaRoche, comme une petite roche qui va bientôt baiser ton père par derrière." This translates as: "My name is LaRoche, like a little rock who will soon screw your father from behind." Then, he tells her that in English, it means: "My name is LaRoche, it means a rock. Like the little rocks rolling down a river."

Alternate versions
According to the FAQ: 'On DVD, two versions of this thriller were released: the well-known theatrical version and an Unrated version, that runs approx. 5 and a half minutes longer. But even though it's labeled as Unrated, one can only find several unspectacular plot extensions and there are only two short scenes that are a bit raunchier.

Umm okay, that was it?

PRE Oscars REVIEW: I just saw a pre-screening of the film "Derailed" starring the great Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston. What that means is that it wasn't a final version but very close to it. Well I must say I was eager to place Owen into contention for an Oscar nomination after last year popular "Closer." I'm sorry to say that he is out and it's due to the poor, predictable script.

The story was very underdeveloped and a bit unrealistic but the performances of Owen, Aniston, and Vincent Cassel kept the film moving. This movie was Unfaithful meets Matchstick Men meets Reindeer Games. I would recommend the film for a good popcorn flick but in terms of Oscar I would take it out of the game. Owen captures the nature of his character but flops in terms of staying in the location meaning his American accent. Although he is truly the hero of the story and you love the character. He got a couple of "claps" during the film. Aniston gives a very different performance than what we're used to but it works. She's very talented and I would love to see her nominated in the next coming years.

The standout of the cast is Vincent Cassel who's villainous, dark performance will go down in the books as one of the greatest villainous performances in the past years. He truly makes you hate him and you leave with a feeling in your stomach from him on screen. The worst part of the entire film was the terrible musical score which is very distracting and annoying but hopefully with better editing they'll get rid of it and hire someone new. So-so script and good performances make a pretty decent flick.
