Fly Goes For Cracked Eggs

--- A Review on Derailed

As a diehard movie fan, I watch almost very genre that I can catch: Cartoon, action, horror, sci-fi, or suspense. Whatever. If horrors are a torture to your heart, suspenses are a good brainteaser for your mind. Yes, there seems always to

be more to it than meets the eye; and you never know what is going on until you

go to end of it. This is what they classify as a suspense.

The movie I've just watched, Derailed, can be ranked among this group.

The first part of the movie isn't like a suspense, though. It's like any soap

opera you see every day on TV: a sort-of successful mid-aged man bumps into a woman, whom he finds irresistibly charming and smart. Just as any such stories go,

the lady can't deny that they speak the same language also. So after a few days

there is chemistry in between. So attracted to each other are they that they finally succumb to the temptation and go to a motel, in defiance of the fact that

they are both married.

Of course it takes more than such a plot to make a suspense. Their intimacy is

"interrupted" by a sudden break-in attack from a bulky robber, who not only takes everything out of their pocketbooks, but makes the hero feel deadly guilty by

raping the lady before he gets away with the crime. Not wanting their families

to know the affair, and assuming it's just an accident, they give up reporting to the police. The nightmare doesn't stop here, though. The robber soon blackmails the unfaithful husband out of twenty thousand bucks, and it's just a test that

testifies how much they can dig out of this man. The final hush money is actually as high as a hundred thousand dollars, which happens to be the family's entire savings. Soon after the man rejects the blackmail, because it's his daughter's

life-saving money, the bad guy actually makes his way to his family pretending

as his colleague, and throws an intimidation right at the prey's home. The criminals (yes, it's certainly not what one can commit by playing a lone hand) finally get the man to pay the bill.

The victim doesn't realize it's only a con game until he tries to inform his extramarital sweetheart and discovers that she's not where she's supposed to be.

It finally dawns on him that his lover is actually one of them. Learning he's not going to have the money back if he goes to the police, the distraught man decides to get back his daughter's only hope by taking the law into his own hands. And he finally succeeds, getting away with killing the criminals.

Clive Owen, who stars the hero, performs well. Excited with his romance, and helpless after being robbed and blackmailed, and finally frantic after revealing

the whole truth. He is just where you would expect him to be. The heroine, Jennifer Aniston, who wins her spurs by starring the blockbuster dramma "Friends", however, isn't much of someone whom you would expect to be full of sex appeals. Whatever. She is a good actress.

It's actually all about a con game. Just remember the saying if you somehow fear falling victim to such game: Fly goes for cracked eggs.

I am not claiming the suspense is going to become a classic or something. Just

something that isn't bad for a relaxed afternoon. You can have it here:
