Transsiberian (2008) 7/10

Starring : Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer, Ben Kingsley, Kate Mara, Eduardo Noriega, Thomas Kretschmann
Director : Brad Anderson
Running Time : 108 mins

Roy (Harrelson) and Jessie (Mortimer) are an ordinary American couple on a Trans-Siberian train journey following a period volunteering in China. When they meet another couple, Carlos (Noriega) and Abby (Mara), they find themselves involved in a complicated smuggling ring as they fight for their lives against a supposed Interpol officer known simply as Grinko (Kingsley).

This starts off pretty slow, but soon the action kicks in as primarily Mortimer is faced with the news that a large quantity of drugs have been placed in her bag. Fans of standard thrillers will enjoy this literal train ride that twists around so much it becomes confusing as to who anyone should trust.
