Transsiberian
Transsiberian is an upcoming thriller that’s directed by Brad Anderson and stars Ben Kingsley, Woody Harrelson, Eduardo Noriega, Emily Mortimer, Thomas Kretschmann, and Kate Mara. It will hit movie theaters on August 1st and promises to be an exiting thriller.
The story revolves around a Transsiberian train and its passengers on their way from China to Moscow. However, drug dealers are also using it for the transportation of their merchandise. Jay’s Movie Blog comments on the film’s director.
Brad Anderson’s previous movies have fallen into two categories - romances built around female characters (Next Stop Wonderland and Happy Accidents) and nightmare scenarios with mostly male casts (Session 9 and The Machinist). He mixes it up a bit here by centering this thriller around Emily Mortimer’s Jessie, and it’s an interesting if not perfect set-up. Mortimer is great when it comes time to ratchet up the tension, really selling us on the character’s desperation as she tries to find a way out of her situation, only to be stymied at every turn.
