An American couple, Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jessie (Emily Mortimer), decide to take the long way home from their recent sojourn in Asia on the legendary Trans-Siberian Express train from Beijing to Moscow. On their way, they meet another couple from the West, Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and Abby (Kate Mara), with whom they quickly form a familiar bond that often unites fellow travellers away from home. When Roy accidentally gets separated from the group at a stopover, Jessie begins to realize that their compatriots aren’t exactly who or what they seem to be. The real danger begins to surface as a deceitful Russian detective (Sir Ben Kingsley) andlocals terrorize Jessie in this unforgettable journey.

I've been a big fan of Brad Anderson since I discovered Session 9 at the bottom of a shelf in a Hollywood Video years ago. Session 9, The Machinist, Sounds Like, and now Transsiberian all confirm that the man crafts genre well. It's a shame he's so overlooked.
I was fortunate enough to scope out Transsiberian when it debuted at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and I thought it was great. To read a solid review on the film, visit Zoom In Online here:

Can't wait to see what's next for this guy!
