(1 - 18) of 18 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "This is not to say that Transsiberian is wall-to-wall dread. Once it gets going...it delivers enough electricity to keep us right near, if not completely on, the edge of our seats."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron B "It takes its sweet time, but Transsiberian is a frosty, gripping ride on the terror train. It maintains the generous beat, giving audiences a nice jolt of xenophobia to go with their helping of traditional thrills."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "In Brad Anderson's film, the scenario is one we've seen before, but it's handled here with an unusual alacrity."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti 3/5 "...a tight and terse thriller."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti 7/10 "Transsiberian makes provocative connections between external and internal states, the ways that composition can reveal character."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs "Though not one for literal smoke and mirrors, master of horror Brad Anderson, with his panache for arousing fear from harried reality and rotted atmosphere, is still a shaman."   Village Voice   Ed Gonzalez B "Doesn't deserve a place among the classic train thrillers, but it offers enough cinematic amenities to be worth booking passage. And you won't need a sleeping compartment."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "It effectively keeps us in the dark as to where the story is eventually heading, allowing the film to deliver enough suspense to produce some serious hang-wringing."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 7/10 "A unique picture that left me feeling -- for the first time in a very long time -- like I’d actually been in another place, another world…so very different from my own."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2.5/4 "Modest thriller set aboard the titular train plays like low-suspense Hitchcock until sadly, in the last act, it derails."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 3/4 "The execution is masterful and even as you see the building blocks of the climax being put into place, it's a delight to watch them fit just so."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "Transsiberian eventually reveals itself to be scatterbrained thematically."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager B+ "The combination of good directing, writing, acting and film-craft make for a dramatic thriller (or dramatic thriller, if you want) that keeps you on the edge of your seat."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "Transsiberian makes suspenseful and sometimes violent gestures, but it’s all decoration."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Rumsey Taylor "Transsiberian is a deeply engrossing film from the get go. It sucked me in with a simple, yet often overlooked, idea - interesting characters."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 4/5 "Clearly inspired by a few of Hitchcock's 'train-bound' movies, Transsiberian doesn't break a lot of new ground, but it does tell a slick story in a very chilly setting."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg C+ "... it's a little sloppy and full of convenient coincidences, but at its best roils with edgy character tensions."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 8/10 "Paranoia is right on track in this sinister, trapped-on-a-train thriller."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 18) of 18 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1
