Did you even watch this movie? You don't know a single thing about these characters! How about instead of whining about the movie, actually focus in on what you're watching and it might make sense.
This might change you're mind on almost half of your statements: Jessie is not a Christian DUH! How did you not pick up on that??? She is only with Roy because he loves her and she loves him DUH! She only went on the trip because she misses her wild adventurous side DUH! And the cop, he wasn't an actual cop DUH! It's easy to fake having a badge. We are given no reason to think he was a real cop. And Abby didn't have her legs cut off DUH! the man was making slices into her legs, not completely cutting them off. She went to the hospital later which would have healed her and allowed her to walk. The robbers didn't steal the train just to harass Jessie and Roy, they did that so they could find the money without being stopped DUH! If any of the passengers would have seen he was a drug dealer and not a cop he wouldn't get away with anything DUH! Next time, try and watch a movie rather than act like you're smart. Every single "plot hole" you listed is ridiculous. Each one shows your lack of understanding of the characters and what actually happened.
But seeing as you say the plot holes in this movie ruined it for you and your kids, my guess is that this is a troll or a prank post. I hope I'm right on this.
the ellipsis was a stupid idea -

Wow!! The movie was the filthiest pro-Christian ultra-right wing propagande piece since Moses walked down the pike. And this clueless reviewer is complaining that it was ANTI-Christian!?
Folks, we have gotta eradicate these Christian Right freaks portayed in the movie, once and for all. They are more rabid and deadly then 1000 hell-bent Muslims! ;~))
Besides, this ellegedly Christian "parent" is such a dumbass, he/she actually forced his/her own kids to watch a violent R-rated movie all the way through. Yeah, I call that a 'Christian' all right. -

Correction your Honor, neither I nor my spouse forced or ever will force our children to watch anything. They are both very mature elementary school students and they are allowed to make their own choices and decisions. This is how the Lord deems it and thus how we Deem the Lord. Good Day to You Sir! -

I think the reason you didn't like this movie is you didn't get any of the obvious elements that made it so good. DUH!
Really, I had to be sure you were serious with your remarks they were so ridiculous. I'm still not sure if your post was serious or overt sarcasm (because these boards are filled with people who really are that stupid).
Try this- You find corrupt police unrealistic? Seriously?
- You are shocked that people trying to be good sometimes do immoral acts? Ha. Funny.
- Negative spin on Christians? How about the guy outraged over how Christians are represented yet is upset his kids didn't enjoy this movie about sex, drugs and violence then uses the F word to describe the experience.
I could go on but I think I've wasted enough of my time.
Seriously, are these people for real?

Here's the real answer to all your questions -
They were really atheists. They weren't Christians and didn't believe in hocus-pocus.
I think your assessment of the movie is terrible. It sure had plot holes, but nothing remotely linking to Christianity. -

- Why would the evil Catholic man hide all his money on a dead body instead of in the good Christian girl's suitcase like he did with the toy animals? DUH!
ROFLMAO..again
What are you in the triple K club? Who says things like that in this day and age?
And wait? What? You watched Transsiberian with your good Christian kids???

The TC fails. Not all Christians are Saints, and not all Christians are simple-minded idiots. I'm a Baptist, and I also admit I'm no Saint. That basically just takes your whole post and makes it null n' void. As for the plot and such, well. I don't even think the directors/writers cared too much. A lot of directors and writers will just take a great movie that makes you think, and add tons of small things just to either piss you off or make you over-analyze it.

I can't believe all these people took the original post seriously. A look at the poster's name will alone tell you that his entire post was a gag, and you all fell for it hook, line and sinker. No real American evengelical - as the OP pretends to be - would call themselves "America loves war".

This has to be the funniest post evermy wife and I literally LOLed
We both Christians, we were never offended by this movie, we both liked it a lot. I know some folks who are missionaries.they are not saints.they mess up like anyone.we're human..but what is cool is that they are willing to share their faith and God's love..Woody Harrelson did a wonderful job portraying a man who loved God, his church, and his ministry.and of course trains.I gave this movie 9 stars!!
An atheist cannot guard his faith too carefully. Dangers lie in wait for him on every side. -

There's nothing funny about this post. Just because we don't agree on a particular movie it doesn't mean that I AM A RETARD! Films are all about perception and I am very offended that people choose to ridicule me for my own unique point of view. What ever happened to freedom of liberty and the pursuit of freedom of speech?
