Transsiberian

eVasiege · 11-08-2008, 10:48 PM

Just recently watched this thriller with Woody Harrelson and Ben Kingsley that was limited release in US (like all good movies) earlier this year about a couple traveling by train from China to Moscow. I had heard about it a little bit, but it was mostly just a random pick. Definitely one of the better suspense/thrillers I've seen in awhile. Think it got a 92% on rottentomatoes as well.

"A Trans-Siberian train journey from China to Moscow becomes a thrilling chase of deception and murder when an American couple encounters a mysterious pair of fellow travelers"

It builds preaty slow, but if you can deal with mostly dialogue the first half of the movie it pays off later. Acting is superb as well. See it if you get a chance.

Cool, good to read this, I downloaded the torrent a while back but never got around to watching it.

I really liked the first two thirds or three quarters of the movie, when the characters get to know each other in an atmosphere of suspicion and attraction and we wonder what exactly is going on. All this part is pretty original and very well done and then... let's just say it becomes less original and less subtle.

And much <3 for Emily Mortimer.

7 out of 10.

I actually saw this in theaters when it came out, and was quite impressed. It's worth a watch.

This movie makes my lift of shittiest stupid fucking movies I have ever seen. I wanted to smash the main girls skull in after 20 minutes of her idiocy.

Everything she did was complete failure, from start to finish.

Yeah, she was pretty stupid. I wanted to yell "QUIT LYING BITCH!"

I really liked the movie. I liked the part where he's trying to break the lock and he tells her to hand him the big pipe, and she gives him a tiny rock.

WAY TO SPOIL THE MOVIE FOR ALL OF US

Decent start, mediocre middle, horrific finish. 4/10. Saw it on this guy's recommendation and did not enjoy it.

Woody Harrelson's character was pretty dorky huh (Oh god spoiled the movie!)
