Derailed

“They never saw it coming.”

Charles Schine (Clive Owen) is a Chicago advertising executive whose marriage has gone quiet. He meets Lucinda Harris (Jennifer Aniston) on his commute, and the two take a room in a hotel. Then Philippe LaRoche (Vincent Cassel) breaks in, and what follows is a blackmail that threatens Charles's wife and daughter. Mikael Håfström keeps the camera close on Owen's face, so every phone call and every envelope of cash lands on a man running out of room.
