Review of Derailed

Derailed (2002)
1/10
Deserves to be among the worst movies ever made
18 October 2013
The actress which play the thief is quite sexy and that's the best thing about this movie. "Derailed" is another clone of "Die hard " with Jean Claude Van Damme instead of Willis and the train instead of skyscraper. There were some good "Die hard" clones – "Under siege" and "Cliffhanger". "Derailed" feels here like a clone of clone of "Die hard" – "Under siege 2" (with a little bit of "Cassandra's crossing"). The problem is that "Under siege 2" was a watchable popcorn , while "Derailed " is a crime against humanity.

The best way to describe "Derailed" is that you should imagine a really good action movie . Now throw to the garbage every element that makes a good action movie a pleasure to watch – quotable dialogue , humor , memorable hero and villains , breathtaking action scenes , decent story and good technical quality (music , editing and so on) . In the end you will have something like "Derailed".

Special effects that probably were made by drunk amateurs . The acting so bad that Van Damme is the best actor in the movie . Editing that doesn't even deserves to be called poor. Action scenes that will make your head hurt . The scene with the motorcycle is one of the worst scenes ever made . You can't SEE ANYTHING . Some bad techno music . Bad dialogues. Dumb story.

Van Damme had some decent movies in his career . This isn't one of them. I give it 1/10.
