will rip your heart out. It’s been quite awhile since I experience a truly unwavering tense and a dread that genuinely builds inside and ready to blow you up anytime. Transsiberian delivers this experience with a smart plot that is tantalizing as it absorbs you down the train rail. Transsiberian Express is in fact a train flight from Beijing to Moscow that takes place for 8 days, the longest train journey in the world. As the movie runs, the running train in the background serves as one of the effective elements in creating genuine suspense.
The story mainly develops during the long stretches of this skillfully done film and it centers the couple on board, Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jesse (Emily Mortimer), which looks innocent in their first trip. Inside the train, they meet their cabin mate, another couple named Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and Abby (Kate Mara) who turned out to be an expert travelers themselves. The two couples easily socialize, as they appears to be the only very few foreigners in the train that stands out among the locals. Later on board, the main couple caught up with Russian narcotics detective Grinko (Ben Kingsley) that begins as friendly as he can be; then shadow them with terror as the train runs.
One has a shaky rude past match with the other one that harbors a deadly secret. The others are helpless yet determined to live; while the deadly ones won’t play with lies in a determination to get what they intend to. Already, a fear of being a stranger in a strange land has been developing as the movie introduces the characters in this claustrophobic train setting; match with deprived, callous and hostile Russians that one doesn’t want to mess with. But much further dread escapes in the atmosphere when the characters entangle in secrets and lies expertly maneuvered in a time frame, as rugged and rapid as the Transsiberian Express.
The movie offers several action sequences; but these were not solely delivered to entice the audience. They all develop from the plot, taking time to grow and bites like a knife the second these ruthless events happen. And like the whole plot, this is a superb suspense film that knows how to start calm and dreary then proficiently drive the elements with patience. And when everything has been established, it strikes like a lightning, so swift you have no idea how deeply it wounds you up.
