Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jessie (Emily Mortimer) are a naive American couple travelling from China to Moscow on the legendary Transsiberian express.

Too long on a train

Well acted and thought provoking thriller but you wonder regarding the naiveity of the young couple. Justice is done but a bit harshly!

Delayed Service

All the ingredients are here for a fantastic thriller yet Transsiberian fails to really gel, enduring a similar fate to that of The Machinist – Brad Anderson’s previous film. It is beautifully shot, with Woody Harrelson playing a convincing hardware manager who has strong religious beliefs. He and Emily decide to go by train to Moscow after completing church work in China, with Woody’s character being a complete train enthusiast. Whilst travelling on the cramp sleeper service they strike up a relationship with their roommates, Carlos and Abbey. Sir Ben Kinglsey, often variable in quality, is fantastic here as the local cop, menacing and brooding despite limited screen time. In comparison the two female leads are lightweight lacking clout and believability, often relegated to provincial roles when their stories should be the centrepiece. Going straight to DVD can be seen as a barometer of quality, but this is a solid adventure pitted against the stark Siberian environment. Well worth a rental and still confirms Anderson as a director worth watching.
