'Transsiberian' Runs Off Tracknew
The dissolution of the Hollywood Production Code in favor of the more lenient MPAA Rating system led to an upping of the ante in regards what was required of a film to consternate the modern, habituated movie buff and, in this climate, a straightforward thriller such as Transsiberian simply lacks the punch that most audiences expect.

'Transsiberian' Uses its Atmosphere to Great Effectnew
The film uses expert sleight-of-hand to juggle drugs, murder and various shades of villainy at the exact right times. Even if you've seen lots of movies of this type and can figure out exactly what's going to happen, Anderson takes great pleasure in the pure form and execution of it.
