13. Derailed

Don't get this confused with another movie called 'Derailed.' That one is actually good. You know how you know this one isn't good? It has Jean-Claude Van Damme in it. Before the Jean-Claude Van Damme fans come after me, know that I love his movies, but they aren't always categorized into the category of good movies. Sometimes we love them for all the wrong reasons.

This movie is a crime thriller, but it lacks any of the thrills. Yes, there is a crime involved, so at least it has that, but the whole thing is way too predictable. Give me predictable as long as you also give me awesome one-liners and Jean-Claude Van Damme's signature splits. This movie is part of a long phase of JCVD movies that just aren't very good. Some of you may be asking if there was any other phase.
