Movie Reviews of Under Siege 2: Dark Territory

Movie Review: Average fare
Summary: 3 Stars

This is an entertaining sequel to Under Seige, which is a non-stop action thrill ride. Seagal is still in good shape, unlike in his recent films, and still looks the part as the ex-Navy seal who is accidently on a train that terrorists take over. So all good so far, but thats about it...

Where the movie falls down compared to the first film is the lack of a stand-out actor. Tommy Lee-Jones and Gary Busey may not be A list stars like Matt Damon and Tom Cruise but you can bank on them to deliver fine performances, which they did in the first film. This film doesn't have an equivalent.

I'm happy to accept this as a piece of comic strip fluff, but I do have a problem with films where believeability is stretched beyond the limit. Occassionally the film had some lighter moments, but I never got the impression that this film took itself anything other than entirely seriously.

Still I didn't switch it off, and its always worth watching Seagal do his martial arts stuff. Full credit there, that he IS very good at. Buy if cheap.

Summary of Under Siege 2: Dark Territory

An electronic wiz and his militia have seized a sleek passenger train and turned it into a rolling command center for an awesome weapons satellite. But the hijackers didnt count on one thing one of the passengers is ex-navy seal casey ryback. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 05/31/2005 Starring: Steven Seagal Eric Bogosian Run time: 100 minutes Rating: R Director: Geoff Murphy

The success of Under Siege made a sequel mandatory according to Hollywood's rules of maximum revenue, and as sequels go, this one's not half bad. Steven Seagal returns as former Navy SEAL and skilled chef Casey Ryback, who's trying to spend quality time with his niece on a cross-country train trip. But as luck and action-movie formulas would have it, the train has been hijacked by a demented genius (Eric Bogosian) who is using the train as a moving platform to seize computerized control of a top-secret U.S. satellite that is capable of causing earthquakes from space. Seagal has to stop the train or the villain (whichever comes first), and the action is fast and furious on its way to a high-speed climax. He's not as wacky as Tommy Lee Jones in the first Under Siege, but Bogosian has got a delirious quality that serves the comic-book plot, and action fans get more than their fill of dazzling stunts and special effects. --Jeff Shannon
