Transthriller

Transsiberian is a thriller that works on dialogues, mysterious circumstances against a dull backdrop. A couple taking a train from Beijing to Moscow, gets involved in a whodunit plot with Russian police, drug mules, and themselves.

These days I feel that most climaxes are 'oh-we-gotta-stop' build ups, this one is close. But the thrill component stays on till the closing credits. Also watch out for some interesting quotes, political or otherwise. Though storyline isnt extraordinary, movie *is* different, and a must watch.

In Bruges

Two assassins are asked to lay low after an assignment, and they are sent to Bruges - a cold, dull medieval place in Belgium(?). Each has his own reasons to like or dislike the place, but they just have to wait for their boss to call them to know what next.

We get to know them as they push their life through, as they reflect on their past deeds and the movie heads to a violent climax. Introduction of morality towards the end and setting up for climax felt a little odd, but overall, brilliantly written script. In Bruges, though, is not for the faint-hearted ones.
