Didn't see another thread for this yet, but caught an afternoon matinee of "Transsiberian" today and it's the second excellent thriller I've seen in a week (the other being "Tell No One"). I believe Ebert gave this four stars a few weeks ago and he was right on the money. It's quite a slow burner and just gets better as it goes along. I'd give it 9/10. Definitely catch it.

It opens here in Omaha, NE next weekend. I haven't seen a trailer but Brad Anderson and some of the reviews will make me go. I loved "The Machinist".

3.5 stars, he seemed to have reservations about the finale (as many critics seem to).

I've been meaning to watch this but haven't had the chance unfortunately.

I've enjoyed everything I've seen so far from Brad Anderson. I hope to get the chance to see this soon.

Here you go:

And please go see it. At the very least, take in a matinee.

Excellent film. Brad Anderson is 3 for 3. I haven't seen Happy Accidents or his Masters of Horror episode etc, but wow, he can direct a film.

jager98

wow, gotta see this. didnt expect it to be so good

Gunde

Happy Accidents is a fine little flick. Stay away from MOH though

EdTheRipper

Watched this last night. Pretty solid thriller.

whats with First Look recent barebone dvd releases?

Jericho

Agreed.

Also agreed. Even the Blu-Ray has standard 5.1 sound to boot. Disappointing.

Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I have to ask, for those who have seen the film:

DullandWitless

Hmm, added to my Netflix360 Q.

I just saw this last week and liked it quite a bit. I haven't seen any other Brad Anderson movies; I'll have to check Session 9 and The Machinist.

Both of those are fantastic movies. Session 9 desperately needs a re-release (the SD DVD has a 2.0 English track and a... wait for it... 5.1 FRENCH track. At least, the Canadian disc does). Session 9 also holds the claim to fame as the first feature-length film released in theatres to be filmed on HD video (1080i, if I remember correctly)

Mercury&Solace

Saw this about a month ago on BD, and I agree, very solid.

Yavin

Wow, not many people have watched this I guess. Saw it the other night. It was one of the most suspenseful films I've seen in a while. Loved the classic use of music to ramp up the tension, and the violence/gore was perfectly used to serve the suspense.

Geofferson

Definitely a solid movie that deserved a wider audience. I've recommended it to several people since I saw it a year or so ago.

Finally got around to seeing this, a fairly well-made thriller and I'm leaning towards blaming Hayden Christensen's brother, who is a producer and apparently a strong-arming one, for the reason as to why Vanishing sucked.

I do wish that more cares was made with thrillers to make the same points/clues that the characters discover coincide with the audience. For instance:

Completely recommended and look forward to how Anderson rebounds.

I thought it was a good movie, but I wanted to kill that bitch from the beginning.
