Transsiberian

Plot:

Americans abroad. Roy and Jessie finished a volunteer stint in China. He loves trains, so they go home via the Trans-Siberia Express. There are strains in the relationship, including her past. They meet Carlos, a Spaniard, traveling with Abby, a young American. Carlos keeps close to Jessie, and when Roy is left behind and waits a day for the next train so he can catch up, Jessie and Carlos take a trip into the dead of winter to photograph a ruined church. Carlos may be running drugs, so, later, when Roy catches up and introduces Jessie to his new pal, an English speaking Russian narcotics detective, he's the last person Jessie wants to see. Will the Siberian desolation be their undoing?

Review:

This movie takes place on a train. So there's not much in terms of action. So you'd expect some good conversation/dialouge/bs. There is some of that but nothing really exciting... at all. I should also note that this is a second rate produced film. Its not very good quality and you can really see it. Ben Kingsley and his Russian accent is the best part of this one. Beyond that, I wouldn't recommend it.

Rating: 1/5
