neutral · AI labelView post →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.

"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...

neutral · AI labelView post →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.”
neutral · AI labelView post →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.

neutral · AI labelView post →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.

Ultimately Star Treks 11,728 were sold. #StarTrek #pinball #arcade

positive · AI labelView post →It's kinda weird that the Steven Seagull movie "Under Siege" has absolutely nothing to do with a siege, & is in fact all about a relatively simple act of piracy. I think Steven might not've thought that out.
negative · AI labelView post →"...or Cruise Ship fatality." The cruise ship fatality was Joe, we had heard these stories that Kaminkow was shopping an action movie script he wrote, similar to "Under Siege" but takes place on a cruise ship. The ship had a room-sized microwave oven (why?) where the villain meets his demise.
neutral · AI labelView post →DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE is the 6th & final film in the award-winning DRAW FOR CHANGE series. Each film pairs a female filmmaker w/ a female cartoonist working under censorship, dictatorship, fascism, & other restrictive governments. Laura Nix + Ann Telnaes! Film to be released digitally on May 1st.
neutral · AI labelView post →This might be the greatest @smershpod.com episode yet. So far we've had "this film is the cunting tits", "Steven Seagal is Bet Lynch in Under Siege Street", a Gary Glitter reference and it's not even 15 minutes in.
neutral · AI labelView post →What’s even crazier is his previous film with Davis was UNDER SIEGE, and that’s a far more emblematic TLJ role. Davis was basically casting Jones against type.
neutral · AI labelView post →I am considering doing a Black version of Under Siege. Because no matter how much I can't stand Steve Segal, I fucking love that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Kurtwood Smith shows up in BROKEN ARROW playing basically the same character he does in UNDER SIEGE 2, which features a similar "bad guy sends video message to the guv'ment" scene so I kinda see that movie as being the unofficial third UNDER SIEGE: THIS ONE HAS A LIKABLE PROTAGONIST.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the great miracles of filmmaking is that Under Siege is actually an entertaining film.
positive · AI labelView post →Kill is the most brutal Indian action movie I've ever seen. Gory as all hell. It starts off like an Under Siege style movie, and turns into The Raid/John Wick halfway through with a massive (and entirely earned) mid point tone shift. Intense as hell. Really fucking good! 👍
neutral · AI labelView post →Didn't they film UNDER SIEGE on the Mighty Mo, too? And doesn't that feature Erika Eleniak popping out of a cake...um, showing her assets?
neutral · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't believe there's no GIF of Steven Seagal saying "This, I'm trained for" from UNDER SIEGE 2. I'd use that one a lot more than you'd expect. (Just to be clear, I've never seen the movie. I just remember that line from the trailer.)

neutral · AI labelView post →We know Die Hard is not a Christmas movie because Christmas is not essential to its imitators. When you say “Under Siege is Die Hard on a boat,” it is not because Steven Seagal finds the holiday spirit and reconciles with his ex-wife.
neutral · AI labelView post →Under Siege is a great movie. Tommy Lee Jones is awesome in it.
positive · AI labelView post →“Under Siege” is probably the best film. There are probably some other contenders.
