Review of TransSiberian (2008) by Dustin J — 07 Nov 2010

Transsiberian.

Director: Brad Anderson.

Writer: Brad Anderson and Will Conroy.

Mains: Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer and Ben Kingsley.

You can escape you lies.

Plot: 2 American tourist are leaving from Beijing to Moscow along their ride they run into 2 travelers. But these aren't ordinary travelers. Build around suspense, lies, and deceit these tourist will have to find a way out of the web of mess they have found themselves in. They are being targeted by some heavy hitters but they dont know until breaking point.

My Take: This was a nice little thriller, the ending was really all that but it had me on the edge of my seat at time. Just looking back at the film I noticed their were times that I didnt even blink. Very thrilling and very appealing. This movie packs it all, deceit, lies and overall suspense. Funny thing is even though I didnt think the movie was grand it still had a meaning that will stick to me. The acting was amazing, everyone did a great job and not once did I feel like I was watching a movie.

Conclusion: Transiberian is a great date movie that will have you thinking about liars lol. In addition it might just test your own integrity. Acted pretty well and even better directed this movie is ready to be watched. At times I wanted to scream at the tv but the things I want to scream at were finally resolved during the course of the movie. Not great but good.

Recommended.

4/5.
