According to the bbc anyway:

What do you guys think? I have heard very little about this film.
Can it really be that special?

Has come as a bit of a surprise though. The initial X-men 3 figures were high in the first week, then slumped in the second. So, maybe it's just that everyone who wanted to see this saw it very, very early?

But still, is this movie really that bad? I can't recall any of Aniston's movies ever doing this well.

Bruce Almighty was really down to Jim Carey.

I'd say Jennifer Aniston can act, just didn't have much to work with on Friends. The several Ross vs Rachel fights really showed some of her skills.

I'd say an actor or actress can only act well if there are certain situations. Like, a good script, supporting characters, etc. They do help a lot.
A good example of this would be 1 hour Photo. Robin Williams is renowned for his comedy films. 1 Hour Photo was something different. It was serious, gritty and dark, and as a result, it showed off his acting skills.
I'd say that Jennifer has potential, but she's never really given the chance to show it.

Well i like her and think she can act but i dont really fancy seeing this new one. I think she does a good job in Derailed which is a damn good film.

Well it was quite a big movie with main stars of her and clive owen... they are both married and meet on a train one day.... can't say too much else but expect some shocking twists.

i thought derailed was really poor, aniston and owen were both rubbish. the only good thing about that movie was the french guy from irreversible.

Not my type of movie I would say but nice to see that X-MEN 3 got punked so soon. I never liked X-MEN at all - pretty dull movie in my eyes.

Derailed is a thriller if you want to give it a genre. I thought it was okay. The trailers weren't anything like the film. It was much more violent than I expected. Although Jen does have lovely legs (they're used in the film).

Jennifer is a real sex siren. I may have to watch derailed to catch a glimpse of these awesome legs.

Thanks. :D

"Jennifer Aniston was on Letterman last night, in all her hot-pantsed, oiled-legged glory." Lovely :)

Jennifer Aniston is absolutely gorgeous and looks amazing in this film!

The last 1/4 of the trailer shows the main reason to go and see it!!

Doesn't look too bad a film!
