An American couple, Roy and Jessie, decide to return home the long way from their recent sojourn in Peking and meet another couple from the West, Carlos and Abby, with whom they quickly form that tenuous bond that often unites fellow travelers away from home. When Roy gets separated from the train at a stopover, Jessie begins to realize that their compatriots aren’t exactly who or what they seem to be.

Critic Reviews

Premiere Jenni Miller

This is one train that you shouldn't miss. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Though Anderson's storytelling gets murky at times, it's still a fine showcase for his versatility, adding to an impressive, under-the-radar résumé that includes the underrated science-fiction comedy "Happy Accidents" and the first-rate horror film "Session 9." Read full review

Todd McCarthy

An engagingly up-to-date melodrama steeped in local color and steered by a treacherous sense of morality. Read full review

Steven Rea

Manages to pull off a couple of startling surprises. Read full review

Maitland McDonagh

The execution is masterful and even as you see the building blocks of the climax being put into place, it's a delight to watch them fit JUST SO. Read full review

Jamie Tipps

Mortimer delivers as a mentally disintegrating wife, but it's Harrelson who provides the most fun, playing against type as the down-home Roy. Read full review

Ed Gonzalez

Just as nasty as the titular mode of transport is the script's wanton declaration of theme and a cynical and fashionable belief in moral grayness that may complement the frosty setting but nonetheless feels easy. Read full review

A fabulous movie with great acting, a mysterious plot that keeps one quessing and interesting scenery. Too bad it didn't make it to the big screens.
