After seeing the trailor on TV, my wife and I were excited to see Transsiberian on opening weekend, so we were shocked to find out it was only showing at two theaters in all of Manhattan. Nevertheless, we trekked out to see it and were not disappointed.
The setting really left us feeling as if we were transported into Siberia and the character development was to the point and didn't take anything away from the overall movie. At almost two hours, it didn't feel that long. The Hitchcock-esque suspense left us at the edge of our seats, even drawing a few genuine screams in the theater at one of the most telling moments. The torture scenes helped heighten that suspense without the the outright gore of the Saws and Hostels.
This film is highly recommended to anyone longing for the great suspense thriller that has been missing from theaters in recent years.
