Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Stephen Holden, New York Times: A handsomely remodeled variation of a cherished genre you might call the mystery-train movie. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: Director Brad Anderson throws in a red herring or two as he comments on Eurotrash and the greed-fueled lawlessness of the former Soviet Union, but he ultimately makes an even stronger statement about the dark side of female empowerment. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: Though Anderson's storytelling gets murky at times, it's still a fine showcase for his versatility, adding to an impressive, under-the-radar resume. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Unfortunately, there's never a moment where you can't see Anderson and his co-writer, Will Conroy, yanking on the strings. Read more
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly: A thriller aboard the Trans-Siberian line, stretching roughly 5,000 miles from Beijing to Moscow, should be a cinch, right? Not so fast, Casey Jones. Read more
Jan Stuart, Los Angeles Times: A queasy-making train thriller directed with vibrant visual panache by Brad Anderson. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: Anderson and his very fine cast keep things chugging along at a breathless pace. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: The cramped, cold setting creates an appropriately ominous atmosphere, and while Mortimer and Harrelson are noticeably mismatched, their journey together is compelling enough to make the ride worthwhile. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: An atmospheric, Hitchcockian thriller set aboard a famed train route, Brad Anderson's Transsiberian is a genuine sleeper that jump-starts an almost extinct genre. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Transsiberian is a paranoid, chilling train trek that borrows freely from the best Hitchcock pictures to give us that rare adult summer thriller -- 'adult' as in not based on a comic book or video game. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: A morally complex if plot-wobbly thriller set on the Trans-Siberian Express as it rockets (well, creaks and groans) through snowy forests and forgotten towns. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Transsiberian starts in neutral, taking the time to introduce its characters, and then goes from second into high like greased lightning. I was a little surprised to notice how thoroughly it wound me up. This is a good one. Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: Has terrific Siberian location work, a carefully constructed atmosphere of creeping dread and an outstanding performance by Emily Mortimer. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: As Alfred Hitchcock demonstrated three times, trains make a nifty setting for a thriller. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Writer/director Brad Anderson gives us an artful, shifty-eyed take on human strengths and weakness; his film delivers the pleasure of a conventional tale well told, with clever twists and complex characters. Read more
Mike Mayo, Washington Post: All in all, the film is an excellent, if modest, alternative for moviegoers who have been blockbustered into submission this summer. Read more
