Steven Seagal, Eric Bogosian, Everett McGill

The success of Under Siege made a sequel mandatory according to Hollywood's rules of maximum revenue, and as sequels go, this one's not half bad. Steven Seagal returns as former Navy SEAL and s...( read more  read more... )killed chef Casey Ryback, who's trying to spend quality time with his niece on a cross-country train trip. But as luck and action-movie formulas would have it, the train has been hijacked by a demented genius (Eric Bogosian) who is using the train as a moving platform to seize computerized control of a top-secret U.S. satellite that is capable of causing earthquakes from space. Seagal has to stop the train or the villain (whichever comes first), and the action is fast and furious on its way to a high-speed climax. He's not as wacky as Tommy Lee Jones in the first Under Siege, but Bogosian has got a delirious quality that serves the comic-book plot, and action fans get more than their fill of dazzling stunts and special effects. --Jeff Shannon

    as with most sequels a bit of a lack of realism is fundamental along with some poorer acting and a general sense of "why am i watching this?" especially so when it comes to the action genre. the difference here is you can see there was a big budget still for the action sequences....( read more) a more entertaining than usual actioner sequel. where most are trash, this is average

    Saw this in the cinema. It isn?t very good. One star for the chopping off of the bad guys fingers at the end.

    He had to make a sequel, didn't he? Actually, this followup to Seagal's best-reviewed film isn't that bad, but it's not a great film, either. I'm a bit of a Bogosian fan, but he seemed at times a little too over the top as the villian. Seagal was his usual self in this film, kick...( read more)ing ass on a train instead of a ship. Not too bad of a film, but don't expect the same quality as the first.

    I'm not a fan of Steven Seagal, but I must admit this is a good action movie. Off course not very realistic, but co-actors Eric Bogosian and Everett McGill are convincing. Its just entertainment, folks.

    Steven Seagal is synonymous with crap.
  • September 5, 2009
    It was just as good as the first one.

    this is a terrible movie, but good for has-been celebrity watching! also i was disappointed that Seagal only snapped like 3 necks?!? cmon, Seagal.

    this film is slightly, actually considerably releastic. There are moments when there are bullets flying and the only 1 not getting hurt is our hero in question. we know the ending before the 6 minutes of the movie. Very predictable.
