transsiberian

I usually like Brad Anderson, but this movie is an overly violent version of the intrigue-on-a -train genre that's been done much better by others before him. it did have a couple of good twists, though, and a very intimidating Ben Kingsley. also Emily Mortimer looking deep and soulful, Eduardo Noriega emanating sexiness, Kata Mara being enigmatic, and Woody Harrelson personifying the dumb American. I saw this at the Paris theatre in NY, which is always a pleasure.
