| PremiereJenni MillerThis is one train that you shouldn't miss. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealTakes a more cerebral route, toying with your expectations only to give you something else, whispering hints of what fate might have in store for the characters after the credits roll. |
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedySome might think this film is unbelievable, and they're right. But, Hitchcock films aren't either. They're just fun rollercoaster rides, so check your brain at the door and have a blast. |
| UGOKerry Douglas DyeTruly tense, entertaining and -- and here's a word that's rarely used to describe American movies -- unpredictable. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOne hell of a thriller. It's not often that I feel true suspense and dread building within me, but they were building during long stretches of this expertly constructed film. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenWith top-notch performances (especially that of Mortimer) and the gray of the Siberian wilderness providing an apt backdrop for the movie's gray zones of morality, Transsiberian is on a great track. |
| Washington PostMike MayoAll in all, the film is an excellent, if modest, alternative for moviegoers who have been blockbustered into submission this summer. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreTranssiberian is a paranoid, chilling train trek that borrows freely from the best Hitchcock pictures to give us that rare adult summer thriller -- 'adult' as in not based on a comic book or video game. |
| Los Angeles TimesJan StuartMortimer gives a terrifically keyed-up performance that is nicely complemented by the wholesomely chipper Harrelson, who seems to be drawing inspiration from Fred MacMurray's gallery of Disney dads. |
| L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasAnderson and his very fine cast keep things chugging along at a breathless pace, complete with a midfilm reversal of fortune nearly as unexpected as "Psycho's" shower scene. All aboard! |
