Este director hizo mejores películas. Bien por los subtítulos es español y por algunas tomas de paisajes nevados. La historia nada tiene de original. Del mismo tipo las he visto mejores
Heavy suspense, fine acting and a great story make this film the best of the best!   2009-12-13
By Linda Linguvic (New York City)
I had seen a trailer for this film last year and was sorry I missed it in the theaters. That's why I was delighted to find it was on my cable movie channel. I certainly wasn't disappointed. The film was even better than I imagined. The suspense was incredible, the acting outstanding, and the directing was the very best of the best. An American couple have just finished some church charity work in China board a train for an eight-day ride across Siberia to Moscow. There's a mood of suspense from the very beginning and it's clear that this train ride is not going to be pleasant. Woody Harrelson plays the husband, Roy, a rather naïve Midwesterner. His wife, Jessie, played by Emily Mortimer is a former alcoholic and bad girl. She's reformed now but still has a wild streak. The train ride is ominous. The Russians are rude and crude. And then another couple board the train and they share a sleeping cabin with the Americans. Carlos is a Spaniard and immediately is attracted to Jessie. He knows a lot about customs regulations and passports and has traveled a lot. His girlfriend, Amy, is a young American runaway. She's out of her element as Carlos is clearly attracted to Jessie. Later, during a rest stop, Roy, who is a train buff, goes outside to inspect the train and misses the train as it takes off. Jesse is distraught and gets off the train at the next stop, hoping that she'll meet up with her husband. Carlos and Amy also get off and it's clear that Carlos wants to romance Jesse who is thrown into an horrific situation which develops naturally from the plot. Frankly, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I identified with Jessie and her reckless choices and seemed to be holding my breath the whole time. Later, when Roy makes his appearance and Ben Kingsley, a Russian detective starts to investigate, the plot gets even more convoluted. And then, the conclusion is absolutely satisfactory. I loved this film and give it my highest recommendation. Don't miss it.
A thriller!   2009-12-04
By L. Da Vinci (New York, NY)
This movie was a true "sleeper". In the tradition of Agatha Christie's "Orient Express", a trans-siberian train ride is full of unusual (dangerous?) characters. The viewer will wonder if any of the characters in the train are who they appear to be. There is a business with drug smuggling, and the people we meet are not always what we think they are. There are assorted twists in this story, especially the one we find at the very end of the movie. All the actors do a great job in their roles.
