Throw Heroin Nesting Dolls From The Train

Transsiberian trailer, you guys:

Perhaps the only trope more played out than the cubicle worker who just can't take it anymore is the naive American couple thrown into a dark underworld, but that's fine. Although, I'm not sure it counts as suspense when Emily Mortimer is hanging from the train about to fall to her death not because she's in a gunfight with bad guys, but just because she opened the door marked Droopy Dog's elevator. Wanh-wanh-wannnnnnnnh. The movie ends SPOILER ALERT when Ben Kingsley gets hit in the head with an anvil.

I do wish the part of Woody Harrelson was played by Harrison Ford so that he could say "Get off my train."

I must have missed this film at the cinema, I’m not sure about the title though but it looks like a good thriller about drug abuse. The backdrop of snowy Russia looks like a great setting, and Ben Kingsley is one of my favorite actors since I saw him in Sexy Beast.
