Critic Reviews

"...Lunatic enough to keep you watching the screen....The movie alternately prompts awe and out-of-control laughter..."
New York Times
"...Steven Seagal charts some bold new territory....This is the best Seagal yet..."
USA Today
"...In the brutally efficient UNDER SIEGE, Seagal, with his soft-spoken nihilist charm, attempts to move beyond limb-snapping exploitation and into epically scaled mainstream thrillers. He succeeds..."
Entertainment Weekly
"...This movie does a terrific job of making every scene play like a real event on a ship at sea, and that's part of its charm..."
Chicago Sun-Times
