Transsiberian

I was expecting good things from this film, but I was totally blown away by it´s great script, matched with perfect directing and cast performances. Also the locations were beautiful and mesmerizing. The score was also just right. Transsiberian reminded me a little bit of Woody Allens Match Point, which is also an amazing thriller.It is not the easiest genre to pull of, but this film nailed it! I don´t have anything bad to say about this movie. Go see it!

This is absolutely one of the worse movies I have ever scene. Predictable and boring, total waste of time and money!... Full review

A good Hitchcockian thriller that's effective and suspenseful. Almost everyone in the movie either has concealed motives or is hiding something. American couple Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jessie (Emily Mortimer) take a ride on an unfamiliar Transsiberian express train from Beijing... Full review

This movie was a very slow, but had an interesting ending. I think it only deserves a C. Ben Kingsley was very convincing. Cinematography was good. But I don't recommend this movie to friends.... Full review

The lady is a chain smoker, but stops smoking half way through the movie with no cause and in the very end starts up again. The opening scene has a frozen Russian fisherman sitting upright in the chair! What they quick... Full review

This movie was grossly overlooked. I guess most of the budget had been spent on the movie and absolutely nothing spent on marketing. The storyline was almost perfect leaving the audience with a real sense of uncertainty as to what is... Full review

Intrigue abounds in Brad Anderson's entertaining thriller....a picture that breathes entertainment through every celluloid sprocket hole....This summer's indie-flick Cheshire cat, Ben Kingsley , turns up yet again, brandishing an ambiguous smile....Gimenez deftly deploys a hand-held camera to maximize the fishbowl tension of characters ensnared in tight spaces (that's Lithuania standing in for a snowbound Siberian landscape)..... ...

The eventual resolution is too neat, but striking cinematography and brilliant performances sustain Transsiberian....," Harrelson despairingly proclaims at one point, and Anderson shows....The earnest, bespectacled Roy, played with great charm by Woody Harrelson.... ... Full Review

And there's terrific dialogue. But this trip serves up plenty of "I didn't see that coming" moments, packed into a vivid picture of roughing it, rail-style, in a snowy part of the world where your American accent won't impress the surly porters and hotel clerks. ... Full Review

It's been a long while since a truly high-quality train drama was produced, and Transsiberian definitely ranks amongst the best of them. : Final Thoughts Transsiberian will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good mystery or thriller ... Full Review

The ensuing twists and turns -- which eventually involve a Russian detective (Ben Kingsley) whose fatherly demeanor hides a shrewd and instinctive nose for crime -- push Transsiberian to delirious heights of harrowing, fidget-in-your-seat suspense. After spending just enough time with the protagonists to get a feel for their loving but still problematic relationship, the film introduces them (and us) to another couple on the train, the Spaniard Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and the American Abby (Kate Mara), wh ...

And he's directing the finale. He also directed "In which we meet Mr Jones", which was another great one. He's the director of Transsiberian, The Machinist(!) and Session 9. ... Full Article

"Transsiberian" has more twists and turns in it than the real-life, extensive train route that gives this independently produced suspense-thriller its name. Admittedly, that unpredictable, bobbing-and-weaving plot element becomes a little wearying, and things get pretty nasty and vicious toward... ... Full Article

They don't make many movies set on trains anymore, and if Transsiberian, named after the famed railway line from Moscow to Vladivostok, is any indication, that's a real shame. ... Full Article
