This is what I call a thriller

I saw it in the theater, it was great!

Completely unfamiliar environment, coming and going, even strangers who speak foreign languages. What a classic thriller setting this is! Reminds me of Hitchcock's "The Lady Vanishes" (I saw a remake of the 70s).

The film takes the longest railway line in the world-Trans-Siberian as its creative background. This railway not only provides a unique place for the occurrence of the case, but also fully demonstrates the unique frigid scenery and cultural characteristics of Siberia.

The photography is excellent and the actors perform better.

Originally, it was for Emily Mortimer, and it was great to see her portray a different (though not very flattering) role. There are also Woody Harrelson and Ben Kingsley, the performances are as full of tension as always.


Rating: 9 out of 10

Transsiberian quotes

  • Roy: [competing with other passenger's tiger scar] Hey, look at this. A deer attacked me.

    passenger: A deer?

    Roy: Yeah, a John Deer power mower!

  • Roy: Hold on there Ilya, don't tell me that you miss the USSR? I mean the USSR was a dark evil empire.

    Grinko: Maybe so. But then we were people living in the darkness, now we are people dying in the light. Which is better? When it was USSR a man lived until 65 years, now it is 58 years. I know this fact very well, I am 58. In Russia now we say there are only 2 kinds people, those who leave in private jet, and those who leave in coffin.

    Jessie: Which are you?

    Grinko: I'm too old to leave. Just do my job.
