Charles Schine is an advertising executive who is happily married to Deana and has a young daughter. However, that begins to change when Charles meets Lucinda Harris on a commuter train. Lucinda, who is also married with a daughter, keeps bumping into Charles on the train, and they strike up a friendship that soon grows into something deeper. Eventually Charles and Lucinda fall into infidelity, but the consequences turn out to be greater than they imagined; Philippe Laroche is a dangerous criminal with a taste for violence who has learned about the affair. Laroche demands a substantial payment if he is to keep the word of Charles and Lucinda's relationship from their spouses, but they become convinced that Laroche is not to be trusted and that he may mean to do greater harm to their loved ones than simply telling them they've been unfaithful.
This wasn't a great suspense movie, but it wasn't horrible either. The plot included a few twists and turns that throw you off guard, but if you're paying attention, you should have the ending figured out about halfway through the movie. The acting was mostly pretty good, but I think Jennifer Aniston was disappointing. It might have been the fact that the main purpose of her role really just consisted of her looking hot, but her performance didn't leave an impression on me. However, Clive Owen and Vincent Cassel were excellent. Besides a few weak parts in the plot and questionable acting by Aniston, I would recommend watching it once.
Rating: 3 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Clive Owen, Jennifer Aniston, Vincent Cassel, Melissa George
I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
