Trivia:

The music video playing loudly on TV while Clive Owen helps his daughter study is "Trouble" by Pink.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Charles first misses his train, it is raining heavily on the platform. As the camera pulls back, you can see that other than on the platform, it is a bright, sunny day with no rain.

Quotes:

Charles Schine:I'll bet you $20 that I can kiss you without ever touching your lips.
Lucinda Harris:Kiss me?
Charles Schine:Without touching.
Lucinda Harris:[skeptical] How?
Charles Schine:What do you mean, how? That's the bet.
Lucinda Harris:Okay. Let me see the twenty.
[Schine takes out the $20, which Lucinda puts on the bar. She looks at him invitingly]
Charles Schine:[leans in slowly, and softly kisses her, taking her breath away] Worth every penny.

Movie Connections:

Version of Pachaikili Muthucharam (2007)

Soundtrack:

Back Again

Everyman facing a heap of trouble

Clive Owen convincingly portrays an everyman who lives a life where every day is the same - until he unexpectedly meets a woman on a train and his life starts going off in new directions.

When that turns bad, his old habits reassert himself: instead of forming a plan with built-in alternatives, or being a brilliant improviser (like so many other thriller heroes), he forms simple plans and is always at a loss when they fail.

Other people feel that there are plot holes in this movie, but I feel that it just shows an everyman who is a slow starter, not the dynamic super-hero so many other protagonists turn into at the first sign of trouble.

Recommended.
