Review of TransSiberian (2008) by Tom A — 20 Jan 2013

A very suspenseful thriller, Transsiberian slowly builds tension up and never slows down, thanks largely to wonderful performances from Emily Mortimer, Eduardo Noriega, and Ben Kingsley. Mortimer gives an especially impressive performance as the protagonist thrust into horrific circumstances on a cross-country train ride.

The only problem I had with it was that Emily Mortimer's character can become frustrating at times because she refuses to tell the truth, which would quickly and cleanly solve the film's conflict.

This is forgivable though given the quality of the rest of the movie, and that is no reason why you shouldn't watch this. Transsiberian is a very exciting thriller that's better than most and contains a number of great performances that only improve it further.
