Review of Derailed

Derailed (2002)
5/10
Passable six-pack of an action movie
12 October 2002
...that's best viewed in a beer induced stupor or under mind numbing medication. The impossible plot contrivances are standard issue for low grade action movies (i.e. our hero is tossed off a bullet train by the bad guys...but he's evidently wearing magnetic underwear, as he miraculously manages to hang on).

The action sequences are undermined by quick cuts,dropped frames,and split screens. (This chop chop style belongs is better suited for a Japanese Steak house).

Overall though, it's not a bad time waster that's over before it becomes too tedious. With low expectations, you might enjoy it.
