"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! "

"Film noir has always been an interesting genre for me, but many of them fail to hold my attention. Today there aren't many coming out on a yearly basis, but the ones that do seem to garner a lot of attention. Brad Anderson, who is known for psychological thrillers, has injected this talent into his newest outing with Transsiberian. The story revolves around an American couple haphazardly caught in a Russian drug run as they take a train from China back to Moscow to catch their flight home. After the film's first scene, the first line in English is, "ours is not a gray world" and then sets out the rest of the time to prove that statement wrong. There are few characters here that can be seen as pure good or bad. Even Woody Harrelson's faithful Christian do-gooder character doesn't hesitate to do something morally objectionable when pushed far enough. And the Rusian investigator played by Ben Kingsley, who serves as an antagonist of sorts, is a man we as an audience can sympathize wit ... "

"TransSiberian (2008) is a good thriller, but be careful who you watch it with. Partner (10 minutes into the film): I’m not seeing much in the way of scenery. Maybe it’s lucky we decided not to take the TransSiberian like these two (Roy—Woody Harrelson, and Jessie, Emily Mortimer) because we might have seen nothing but trees.

"The only possible advantage a small-ish movie like Transsiberian has when opening on the same weekend as the biggest box office draw in recent memory, is that in cities where Transsiberian is being shown, The Dark Knight’s screenings have been sold out for weeks. So, if you’ve been left out in the cold by Batman, go see Transsiberian. Or better yet, see them both. Transibberian is the most enjoyable film I saw at Sundance this last January. As far as best film, I’d say it’s tied with the steroids doc Bigger, Stronger, Faster. Transsiberian is directed by Brad Anderson. (Also known for The Machinist, which is maybe where Christopher Nolan found his next Batman? Discuss). It follows the story of an American couple, Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jessie (Emily Mortimer) as they travel the transsiberian railway from China to Europe after a mission trip. Tensions in their marriage are clear, Roy is a squeaky-clean "
