| Under Siege 2:Dark Territory (1996) Cast:Steven Seagal,Eric Bogosian,Everett McGill,Morris Chestnut This time Seagal finds himself becoming a one man army on a train to fight terrorists who have control of a nuclear satellite geared to destroy the U.S. and it's up to Seagal to kick some terrorist butt and save his niece in the process.You basicly you know the drill but this sequel moves fast and entertains. Seagal really knows how to give the audience what it wants (Well except when he preaches about the environment) but here Murphy (wisely) keeps the pace moving and the action comes fast and furious, which is fortunate because Under Siege 2 has some fairly stupid moments which if thought about starts to become ridiculous very fast. Indeed the villain's plan is never really explained that well and one wonders what he sets to gain from his hairbrained scheme. However as usual it's the compact action that makes this worth seeing for fans and on the visual level Under Siege 2 works at providing the audience with what it promises. Also Seagal doesn't really break a sweat in this one. D.Geoff Murphy*** |
