synopsis
Advertising executive Charles Schine is just another Chicago commuter who regularly catches the 8:43 A.M. train to work. But the one day he misses his train and meets Lucinda Harris, his life is changed forever. Lucinda is charming, beautiful and seductive. Despite the fact that each are married with children, their attraction to one another is magnetic. Lunch dates quickly become cocktails after work, and before long, Charles and Lucinda's infatuation leads them to a hotel room. Their seemingly perfect affair goes terribly awry when LaRoche, a brutal stranger, breaks into their room and holds them at gunpoint. This once illicit liaison turns into a nightmare more dangerous and violent than either could have ever imagined. Charles' life soon becomes filled with deception, blackmail, violence and crime. Unable to confide in his wife or speak to the police, Charles finds himself trapped in a world he doesn't recognize, with no trace of the life he once knew.

The film marks the English-language debut of Swedish director
All Derailed has going for it is its aesthetics. The actors look oh-so-pretty, prancing mischievously through dimly lit Chicago. But there's nothing here we haven't seen before. Story Derailed doesn't waste any time. After a scene of spousal bickering between Deanna and Charles Schine (Melissa George and Clive Owen), Charles is on the commuter train flirting with stunning--and also married--business exec Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston). It would make sense the two best-looking people on a crowded
