Entgleist

Ein Thriller, der auf vielen starken Wendungen basiert. Manche von ihnen sind überraschend, manche unglaubwürdig und zweckmäßig, manche sehr gut und die letzte Wendung ist überflüssig. Für einen Zuschauer, der eher unerfahren ist und nicht alle Genre-Geschwister dieses Films kennt, ist es sicherlich ein starkes Erlebnis. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich ihn sehr fesselnd fand. Aber nur in den 100 Minuten. Seine Lebensdauer ist minimal. (06.12.2005)

A film with no originality and a very predictable plot. And yet, it is a successful and solid genre film, of which there are not many anymore. Ideal for watching on TV. (13.01.2007)

While a considerable part of the co-commentators obviously guessed everything and knew exactly when everything would happen, I am glad that I am not among them and that I let myself be led by this genre chameleon into various dramatic and blind alleys, from which the script led me to an excellent conclusion. Clive Owen was experiencing a period at that time when everything he touched turned into gold and mainly thanks to him, Derailed works as an emotionally charged drama about life certainties as well as a nerve-wracking thriller. Twists always change everything and everyone, and the chill down the spine doesn't go away for the entire second half. The only flaw in the beauty is Vincent Cassel, whom the script pushes into the position of an omnipresent deadly nemesis, but at that time he still didn't have enough natural charisma. (28.07.2007)

One of those perfectly thought out thrillers that completely disarms you. Both Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen surprised me quite a bit with their above average acting. Vincent Cassel again played the perfect bad guy... until I felt like he wasn't acting. That's how I like it: smart, action packed, sufficiently convoluted, and surprising. It started out so innocently, but the movie became more watchable by the minute. A strong 4 stars. (04.08.2011)

An average thriller, which is consumable mainly thanks to Clive Owen in the lead role, decent pace, and a few successful moments. TV star Jennifer Aniston is surprisingly unremarkable and interchangeable. The film can be seen as a screenwriting exercise, full of plot twists that can be divided into two groups. The first ones are easily predictable and cliché for genre fans, while the second ones are unexpected but therefore less credible and improbable. Viewers accustomed to using their brains will start wondering questions like: "How is it possible that...?" or "How did he know that...?" Overall impression: 50%. (25.07.2006)

"The Game of Infidelity" is a movie where I actually didn't know for a long time what genre it was. Will it be a drama about a family falling apart? A slightly stronger, less classic romantic movie? Or a thriller? So in the end, it is a thriller, which unfortunately becomes very controversial towards its end. At the beginning, we get to know the characters, fairly quickly but not so fast-paced. We are waiting for the first twist to happen. It is quite unexpected, maybe a bit disappointing that we don't see a bit more from Jennifer Aniston, because let's face it, her acting skills are not that interesting. On the other hand, at least she plays a role in the movie "The Game of Infidelity". However, the attention is mainly focused on the character played by Clive Owen. A man who decided to take a turn, not to cheat on his wife, but still suffers the harsh consequences. It's not so much about getting into these problems, he creates them himself. It comes from the belief that it is necessary to suppress, suppress, suppress. The question is, whether it is appropriate even when your life is at stake. I have to say that some twists in the movie really got me, but as the end approaches, they become less and less believable. The last one was so unnecessary that the creators deserved to be criticized for it. It decreased the impression of the movie by at least ten percent. Sometimes so little can be enough. But even the transformation of Clive Owen from an average guy to an action figure is not particularly believable. Vincent Cassel plays what is usual for him, his accent is also utilized. As a villain, he is good, but I don't believe him as an archvillain. Here he behaves basically as the greatest criminal in the world, who knows everything, understands everything, reveals everything. It is a pity, if he were a bit more humane, it could have been even stronger. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/10/ztraceno-v-prekladu-4-bratri-na-dotek.html (01.03.2013)
