Gets better with age! When I first saw Under Siege I thought cheesy, and far fetched! Well disgruntled professionals, crazy plans, and unbalance dialog is believe. Not in 92 but believable for 2017. Bussey is great as an angry Navel officer. Jones is great as an angry/crazy, but brilliant/mad disgruntled ex C I A employee. The taking of the ship with real time martial arts is exciting. There is a evil plan and knife fight at the end. From a ugh movie to one I like to watch! Under Siege is repeated on cable t v over and over again. I can watch part one over and over too. Under Siege two is even better. 7 out of 10.

I'm a fan of Schwarzenegger-movies (Total Recall, Terminator, True Lies), Van Damme-movies (Kickboxer, Time Cop, JCVD) and Stallone- movies (First Blood, Demolition Man, Cliffhanger). All three (nearly) always give 100% and try to entertain us on every level, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.Now we talk about a Seagal-movie...well, this is most certain the only good one i know, and that's not just because of his tongue-in- cheek performance, but more because of Andrew Davis direction.I'm also a fan of the Ford-movie "The Fugitive", which Andrew Davis made a year later (also starring Tommy Lee Jones, and a few other actors from this film), also because of the direction and creative action-sequences, but most of all because it's a suspenseful and emotional Thriller with great performances.Under Siege on the other hand is more of an Die Hard-clone (they even reenact the famous "Jump from an explosion with a rope attached"- scene) with fun action, comedy and over-the-top villains.And it works pretty well as such, but it's never as good as it's "predecessor", or the movies i mentioned above, still entertaining and well made, but not as memorable.All in all i liked all the performances fine, was engaged for the most part, and found the setting to be very interesting and well used, the perfect entertainment for a rainy afternoon...

This is an action-packed and suspenseful flick from start to finish, where Steven Segal stars as Navy S.E.A.L. turned cook Casey Ryback, who must stop a gang of terrorists that seized control of the U.S.S. Missouri. Segal proves he is a force to be reckon with with his skilled martial arts moves and knowledge of trap-making. It's satisfying seeing him take on the terrorists left and right, giving them a taste of their own medicine.Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey play some pretty annoying bad guys and it's great to see them deck it out with Segal. The subplot of the Pentagon generals scrambling in how to deal with the bad guys and the hostage situation gives the movie added suspense, wondering if they will resort to launching an all-out assault on the ship, which puts the hostage sailors in more crisis.I just wished more drama concerning the trapped sailors were added, which overall, it's an exciting action flick that every action movie fans should see! Grade A-

This is Die Hard on a ship, but this time the hero is Casey Ryback. This movie is probably Steven Seagal's best, and is filled with excitement and plenty of action. The story takes place on a battleship where the "cook" Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal) prepares meals for everyone on board, but this time he has to prepare an even bigger meal because there will a "surprise" party for the captain. The movie was extremely good and successful, and one of the best Die Hard clones out there. Certainly, one of my favourite action movies there is. It is probably pretty boring at the beginning, but it does get better and better as you watch the movie, and that's perfectly fine for someone that's into action movies. I like the fact that almost all of the action takes place on a ship, and this makes it all the more interesting compared to other action movies. I like how all of the bad guys can't seem to find Ryback on a battleship, and struggles against him everytime. Surely, it's easier to find and catch someone on a ship compared to a tall building (like in Die Hard). Strangely, for some reason, Under Siege is underrated. I would say it's almost just as good as Die Hard. I think it's probably the best Die Hard clone, and that's why I think it's pretty underrated. Steven Seagal may not be as popular compared to the likes of Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bruce Willis, but he has been part of some successful action movies, and Under Siege is certainly one of them. Other notable casts in this movie are Tommy Lee Jones, who starred in the Fugitive, and Gary Busey, who starred in Lethal Weapon, so it's a movie certainly worth watching considering the cast involved.
