Despite many technical flaws such as plot holes and not actually making much sense almost at all, Under Siege is still an entertaining and immensely likable film and by far Seagal's best one. It's got a decent script with equally good acting, and quite a few laughs provied by an ... read more

Seagal's best movie (even though Hard To Kill is at the top of my list) this has great performances by Jones and the real-life nutcase Busey as terrorists who take over a battleship. The film moves along at a very good pace and never gets boring. This is the last great film Seaga... read more

Not too much going on but I think Seagal was effective at going mainstream with this.

If you are going to give Tommy Lee Jones an Oscar for The Fugitive, he should get a nomination for this.

One of my fave action films! Great cast with Tommy Lee Jones as the sarcastic bad guy in a team planning to highjack missiles off a U.S. Battleship. Great fights, shoot outs and humour make this a perfect action film!

Seagal, it turns out, is only as good as his director. Full Review
I'm not sure the wife or girlfriend would approve, but for the man of the house, it's above-average beer-and-pretzels material. Full Review
Steven Seagals' finest moment....action from go to whoa
A big step above Seagal's usual dreck thanks to skillful direction by Andrew Davis and strong villains played by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey.
Seagal's best film.
Vintage Seagal. Although that's not much of a compliment.
The movie that was almost DIE HARD on a cruise ship. Bad script and acting made up for by Segal's butt-kicking, and Lee Jones and Busey in full-on hammy villain mode.
