Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

namashi_1 The sequel to the 1992 film Under Siege, 'Under Siege 2: Dark Territory' is Fast-Paced Entertainment! Brisk, Engaging & Action-Packed, this 90's sequel offers a true punch!'Under Siege 2: Dark Territory' Synopsis: Casey Ryback hops on a Colorado to LA train to start a vacation with his niece. Early into the trip, terrorists board the train and use it as a mobile HQ to hijack a top secret destructive US satellite.'Under Siege 2: Dark Territory' is the usual good versus bad story, but the consistently fast-paced narrative keeps you engrossed & engaged almost throughout. The fight between the good & bad also offers some tremendous action set pieces, which definitely work. Only flaw, however, is that there is no newness to the story. Its a tad predictable!Richard Hatem & Matt Reeves's Screenplay isn't new in terms story, but its engrossing at most parts, nevertheless. Geoff Murphy's Direction is excellent. Cinematography is nicely done. Editing is mostly crisp. Action-Sequences are highly effective. Performance-Wise: Steven Seagal is doing what's he always been the best at, kicking ass! And he excels. Eric Bogosian is outrageously hammy as the villain. Everett McGill is a much better menace in comparison. Katherine Heigl is alright. Morris Chestnut is decent.On the whole, 'Under Siege 2: Dark Territory' works pretty well as an Action Flick.

alpaykadir Starting with Above the Law and peaks with Under siege,Steven Seagal become almost action legend.He was making box office killing with movies like Marked for Death,Hard to kill,Out for justice and Under Siege.But things start to change When Seagal demands more and more,more.For On Deadly Ground,despite without any previous experience,He insisted to direct the movie.After Under Siege 2,WB has decided not to work Seagal anymore.Not Because of He is not as bankable as any previous movies,Because of his attitudes.WB didn't do too much effort to promote the movie and recruited two unknowns names as main villains and No name Director.Seagal's behaviour to other actors and stunt performers were no longer tolerable.His big ego would never let anyone to even to touch him, let alone a fair fight with a villain.As an Uncompromised guy,He finally face the truth He is no longer bankable.Hollywod career,big studio career is over in 10 years.What a pity,In a good shape,good relations with producers and directors,He could have been one of biggest stars.In Taken,Bryan mills, ın The Equalizer,Mccall may be John wick.too sad.

Maziun „Under siege 2 " is a totally over the top, totally unbelievable yet highly entertaining sequel to Seagal's best movie. Objectively if you compare it to the original it's a disappointment . The story is pretty much a copy of the first movie with small changes. It's also unrealistic and dumb in places. Despite it's faults it's still an entertaining movie.What we have here is basically "Die hard on train". The train itself is a good location. There is lot of pretty scenery and since the train is in constant motion the movie is also fast paced. I had problems with Geoff Murphy's direction in "Young guns 2" . Here he directs "US 2" with formidable energy. The movie is edited very quickly, almost like a music video. Speaking of music Basil Poledouris score is far superior than Gary Chang's from first movie. It's one of best soundtracks for action movie ever made. The special effects are adorably cheesy and add to the overall campy entertainment value. The script has some quotable one-liners : "Nobody beats me in the kitchen" , "Chance favors the prepared mind" , "Guess I'm not trained for this...".There is lot of cool train action here (on the train , under the train , in the train) . Every bad guy is dispatched with minimum of effort as no-one is anywhere near as hard as Casey Ryback . Broken bones, severed limbs, terrorists in agonizing pain … This movie has an obvious comic book feeling to it and I really liked the non stop carnage. They just don't make them like this anymore. Steven Seagal is basically invincible here. He gets shot , but the movie quickly forgets about it. His doing unbelievable stuff without breaking a sweat . "US 2" it does stretch reality to the breaking point and beyond, but it can be forgiven.Steven Seagal was forced to do this movie after the failure of his very personal movie "On deadly ground" . There is even an unused footage from "ODG" here . Seagal doesn't even try to act here. His obviously unhappy that his making this movie and more stiff than usual. There is a damsel in distress here- Ryback's niece Sarah played by Katherine Hiegl who is a good eye candy and nothing more. Seagal also gets a sidekick - naive porter Bobby Zachs played nicely by Morris Chestnut.The movie belongs to Eric Bogosian as crazed computer genius Travis Dane and menacing Everett McGill as Penn. There is veteran supporting actor Jonathan Banks ("Beverly hills cop") in small role of terrorist. Watch out for Kurtwood Smith ("Robocop") as a US general (too bad they didn't used him as a villain).Idiotic , yet fun movie full of testosterone. Best cheap thrills you can find. I give it 5/10.

david-sarkies There is not much that I can really say about this movie. There isn't really much of a theme with it, and it really only continues the trend set out in Under Siege I. Steven Segal is a Navy Seal commander who has retired and is now a cook. His brother has recently died and he meets his niece at the railway station to go to Los Angeles for the funeral. The train is the target of hijackers who use the train as a mobile base to control a top secret satellite. They request a billion dollars off of America's enemies to use this satellite to cause an earthquake in Washington DC and eliminate the entire eastern seaboard.The only thing that stands up in this movie is that it is purely an action movie. There are lots of hair raising stunts, bodies thumping down cliff faces, and tonnes of machine-gun fire. There is a nasty woman assassin (for some reason the women assassins seem to be the most deadliest), and lots of mooks that get shot. There is also a knife fight at the end between Segal and the mercenary boss. Unfortunately this knife fight is really bad, and does not equate to the one at the end of Under Siege. The woman also appears very irregularly and this is not as fiercesome as could be expected.One of the things about this movie is how the ultimate weapons are not always that ultimate. The theme in these two movies is how the US's biggest weapons are stolen and used against them. The Missouri in Under Siege was not exactly a new weapon, but the satellite here is. What is strange is out of all of the trains, why this one? Well, when I think about it, I realise that most importantly Steven Segal is on this train. If he wasn't then there wouldn't be a good guy to stop them. Less importantly, the train goes near a dead zone, a place where no radio signals can get out. This is not all that important because when they enter this zone it is only to crash the train into another oncoming train.This movie is okay really for a pointless action movie, and there is action aplenty. In the end though, it does not rise above the level of being simply okay.
