Transsiberian Reviews

I find the execution of 'Transsiberian' somewhat conventional, despite the fact that the premise has a promising start. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 8, 2020

What could have been a... 1970s Europudding byproducts turns into an entertaining thriller.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 5, 2020

Unfortunately, it all builds to a last reel that is truly off the rails - a strenuous bit of action-flick silliness seriously at odds with the more low-key, psychological thriller that precedes it.

| May 5, 2020

My vote is that this is a film that is certainly worth a look but most probably on your DVD player unless you are the type of person who can't figure out basic mysteries.

| May 5, 2020

Dark and absorbing.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 5, 2020

What, if any, place this film will hold in the annals of cinema history is hard to say at this point, but Transsiberian is certainly a capable and engaging thriller.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 5, 2020

Anderson definitely knows how to shoot a film and the picture is beautiful as it all plays out against the snowy backdrop of the Russian countryside. However, the story has too many kinks in it to keep an intelligent viewer engaged.

| Original Score: C- | May 5, 2020

The trek can hold viewers' interest throughout, despite the fact that the twists and turns don't kick in until the second half - a testament to Mr. Anderson's directorial skill.

| May 5, 2020

Thumbs up for well-crafted suspense and some interesting plot turns I didn't see coming.

| May 5, 2020

A first-class white-knuckle trip.

| May 5, 2020

Writer-director Brad Anderson provides his Hitchcockian thriller with an increasingly startling plot that is nothing if not unpredictable.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 5, 2020

Anderson hasn't made a great film here, but he's made a very good one. Just don't go to it thinking it's a fun "train thriller."

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2020

The eventual resolution is too neat, but striking cinematography and brilliant performances sustain Transsiberian and leave you wondering why it never made it to UK cinemas.

| May 5, 2020

Strangely denied a cinema release here in the UK, Transsiberian is an enjoyably devious thriller.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 1, 2020

The performances were solid... with none more impressive than that of Emily Mortimer.

| Original Score: B | May 1, 2020

A more than decent mystery film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 1, 2020

Anderson has made an engrossing thriller well supported by its impressive atmosphere and his deft handling of suspense.

| May 1, 2020

Though not one for literal smoke and mirrors, master of horror Brad Anderson, with his panache for arousing fear from harried reality and rotted atmosphere, is still a shaman.

| May 1, 2020

Anderson has shown a keen eye for suspense of the less-is-more vein, allowing the audience to create their own shadows on the wall where none exist.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 6, 2019

Transsiberian is an entertaining film. Just don't expect finesse-and suffer the xenophobia in silence.
