Film: Transiberian

Saw Transiberian today.  This less-than-publicized movie is really good.  It drags for a few moments in the first third, and then really takes off.  Solid script, direction and acting, especially by Emily Mortimer.  And as I always say, there are Brits everywhere in film.  Ben Kingsley is the obvious one, but Emily Mortimer, for those of you that don't know her, is a Brit as well.  If you ever need to study a performance of someone who is hiding secrets, trying to hold back her own terror and fear, take a look at this one.  She rocks.  

In any case, definitely worth checking out.  Woody Harrelson, Kate Mara and Eduardo Noriega put in solid performances.  Written and directed by Brad Anderson.
