Pride and Prejudice has been compulsively told and retold on the silver screen -- in the last decade alone we have seen about a half-dozen adaptations.
A movie with a title like Derailed is just asking for a negative review. It's almost a shame that a title tailor-made for bad punning is wasted on a movie that is so masterfully executed, so arresting and so deeply terrifying.
