Very Cool!!!

Excellent but underrated film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I'm not the biggest fan of Steven Seagal - he's made too many rubbish films and his physical changes haven't helped. However, he found a winner with "Under Siege." The film packs a lot into its 98 minute running time and it rushes by. The plot is fairly standard and includes all kinds of "superhero" type heroics. What makes it work, is the direction from Andrew Davis, the action scenes, the photography and production values but also the performance of Tommy Lee Jones. All you have to do, is to compare his acting with the feeble attempts of Steven Seagal for it to be painfully obvious who the actor is! Most of Steven Seagal's martial arts movies are pretty low budget and have never been given a huge release. "Under Siege" is an exception. Thanks to the films various credentials, the box office takings were bound to be better than usual. Gary Busey does well as an unbalanced villain (they had become his stock in trade long before).

Stupid albeit entertaining military film about a collection of traitors whom attempt to procure an American naval vessel.Steve Seagal is not too bad as an ex-navy Seal who now holds the position of a cook on board the ship in question. When the gun-play erupts, not one of the many bad guys swarming around the deck and innards of the ship walks through the door at the right time to shoot Seagal in the back -- they only appear after Seagal has wasted somebody uninterrupted so he can turn around just in time for the next pigeon to enter the room and blow him away as well (just like Rambo and all those other cardboard action movie characters).For all its ineptitude, this movie remains a solid action flick. Actually, one of Seagal's best films (my personal favorite Seagal film, for what that's worth.... I'm not a die-hard Seagal fan).Don't forget to see Steve in 'On Deadly Ground' where he plays a peaceful ecology activist who has the audacity (and hypocrisy) to punch the crap out of a guy in a bar to the point where the guy is ready to drop dead, as well as Seagal, 'our hero', wearing animal skins and littering the Alaskan tundra with his cigarette butts.

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.

One of my all time favorite movies. The best movie of Steven Seagal by far, and there are some gems in his oldest movies! A shame his latest ones are so different in quality. Pamela Basker did a wonderful job in casting. Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey as the villains are superb. The fight scenes are exquisite. The soundtrack of the movie is great. Actor I enjoyed the most in this movie: Steven Seagal. Actor I enjoyed the least in this movie: Erika Eleniak. I try my best to find something bad about the movie but I can't - this is the ultimate action movie, same level for me with Taken and The Bourne Identity. A Must Watch recommendation!
