August 8, 2009Dumb and insulting hack-fest. Innocent naive americans meet evil foreigners, every russian character is either poor, yelling or with an army suit and full of guns. Every time an evil foreigner is about to do something we get this EVIL music just to make sure we're not dumb enough...( read more)

June 18, 2009Serviceable thriller but Harrelson is miscast and it doesn't push any boundaries.

May 30, 2009It does tread a very thin line between homage and out and & out rip off of Hitchcock but they pull it off and it works extremely well. It deserves 5 stars just for being a cracking thriller set on a train (something we just don't seem to get very often anymore). The moral dilemma...( read more)

October 24, 2009Such a very good thriller. Kept me interested all the way through the end and interesting not to talk to strangers in any foreign countries. Ben Kingsley did the russkie accent pretty well and intense too from one of the American couple's adventure.

October 24, 2009The first half of this movie was very slow. After a while it got better, but it felt like something was missing. It was as if I was waiting for something else to happen, but it never did. The story did have a few good twists. It wasn't bad, but I didn't love it either. I gue...( read more)

A morally complex if plot-wobbly thriller set on the Trans-Siberian Express as it rockets (well, creaks and groans) through snowy forests and forgotten towns. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Transsiberian starts in neutral, taking the time to introduce its characters, and then goes from second into high like greased lightning. I was a little surprised to notice how thoroughly it wound me ... full review

Transsiberian eventually reveals itself to be scatterbrained thematically. full review
