    UNDER SIEGE is interesting; it’s a good movie, but the charisma vacuum that is Seagal undercuts all the fun. He thinks he’s in a serious political thriller, while the rest of us are laughing. I’m curious if Seagal gave pushback to the “Someone take out my pies!” line as it’s his only fun bit.

    Good review! "With Democracy Under Siege, writer-director Laura Nix has done a great job and performed a public service with her sweeping film,which details the rise -and return- of Trump but, more importantly, traces the political machinery back to its roots." www.independent.com/2025/02/14/s...

    Just watched “Under Siege” for the first time. TLJ MVP, Seagal flat, an odd film in that I never once felt like Seagal had his back against the wall. Maybe all the cartoon talk is meant to suggest he’s Bugs to the villains’ Fudd? A passable “Die Hard” clone, but I’d rather just watch a “Die Hard.”

    If you are in the D.C. area, I highly recommend visiting the Museum of the Bible on May 6 for the theatrical premiere of A Faith Under Siege, sponsored by The Christian Broadcasting Network. A Faith Under Siege is a powerful film that tells the story of Ukraine’s Christians under russian occupiers.

    If you've not seen it, I highly recommend Stephen Tobolowsky's (best known as Ned Ryerson from Groundhog Day) story on working with Seagal: youtu.be/5cUNU8GkMso?... I'd also add that Executive Decision is his only decent post-Under Siege movie with a most un-Seagal like element to his role.

    Very macho films do best when they have a sense of humor: - "I ain't got time to bleed" (Predator) - "It's not my Ferrari" (The Rock) Under Siege is the one good Steven Seagal movie because Tommy Lee Jones is hilarious. Seagal himself is never intentionally funny.

    He's by far the worst part of his best film (Under Siege). You assemble a rag-tag team of colorful villains that only Die Hard and maybe Cliffhanger can match, and rather than facing Willis and Stallone, they get Seagal.
