Review of Transsiberian

Tran Siberian follows and young American couple Roy (Woody Harrelson) Jessie (Emily Mortimer) that are traveling on the Trans Siberian railway from China to Moscow. The first part of the movie introduces you to Roy and Jessie, and the other people on the train. Some of these people are memorable, especially the mean Russian maid. Early in the journey they meet their new bunkmates Carlos and Abby, another young couple (there are 4 bunks in each compartment on the train and passengers can be paired up with total strangers). The two couples become friendly and socialize on the train. The seemingly uneventful trip takes a quick detour after they get off the train at one of the stops in Russia. Until this point the movie is slow and uneventful but it does a good job at building the plot and character development. After this however the movie suddenly picks up pace and you are glued to your screen for the remainder of the film. The movie takes several twists and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good thriller.
