Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
All in all, the film is an excellent, if modest, alternative for moviegoers who have been blockbustered into submission this summer.
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.
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.
As Alfred Hitchcock demonstrated three times, trains make a nifty setting for a thriller.
