  A weak excuse for a sequel, on from Seagal's best, but we can forget this movie, can't we?

  Geoff Murphy's directing credits may not look all that impressive, but <i>Under Siege 2: Dark Territory</i> is a pretty good action thriller.<p>This movie does serve as a sequel to <i>Under Siege</i>, but the story stands alone and this makes this picture completely watchable without having seen the first.<p>A bunch of terrorists want money, so they hijack a train and setup some fancy equipment to cause mass destruction around the globe. Luckily, Casey F****** Ryback is here to save the day.</p><p>Most of this 90+ minute film takes place on a train and it does serve as a nice setting for a hostage rescue situation. The action is a plenty and this is all that is expected with the usual shootings, beatings, explosions, and a decent knife fight near the end.</p><p>Steven Seagal is Steven Seagal. Katherine Heigl is beautiful. Morris Chestnut is partially entertaining and partially annoying. As for the villains, they are the stars of the show. Eric Bogosian is a delight to watch as the clever Travis Dane and Everett McGill makes a good foe for Steven Seagal.</p><p>There is nothing out of the ordinary with <i>Under Siege 2: Dark Territory</i>, but it is an entertaining film for those that want to see Seagal whooping some butt. "Chance favors the prepared mind."</p>

  Under Siege 2 was a total flop

  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.

• Anthony L

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

• Dean M

  
  Incredible <i>Die Hard</i> on a train with some amazing stuff and action sequences with Steven Seagal.

• Derek D

  
  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… More
  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, kicking ass on a train instead of a ship. Not too bad of a film, but don't expect the same quality as the first.

  Pointless

• xGary X

  
  The inevitable cash-in sequel to a decent original, this is not half as good, but still a million times better than anything else Seagal has done.

• Dean !

  
  More of the same this time on a train. Not as good as the first but better than a lot of action films.

• danny d

  
  pretty good, not quite as good as the first

• Jeffrey M

  
  Completely asinine, without the charm and witty script that carried the first one.

• Steven V

  
  A great sequel to "Under Siege". Good action just like its first. Dark territory brings in its clever and upscale style of strategy and toughness for the viewers. A great film with great action.

  This follow up to Steven Seagal's biggest hit is inferior to the first film, yet somehow more fun. Maybe it's just the ludicrous idea of so much action taking place on a train, the anything-for-a-thrill attitude, or a young Katherine Heigl that make it watchable. It… More
  This follow up to Steven Seagal's biggest hit is inferior to the first film, yet somehow more fun. Maybe it's just the ludicrous idea of so much action taking place on a train, the anything-for-a-thrill attitude, or a young Katherine Heigl that make it watchable. It certainly isn't for the villains who are either cookie cutter stiffs, or woefully miscast character actors who aren't the least bit threatening. Steven Seagal mumbles his way through his reprisal of former Navy SEAL, and master chef, Casey Ryback, who is travelling with his neice, Heigl. Eric Bogosian hams his way through the token role of the overly educated bad guy with a chip on his shoulder, and a really bad sense of humor. Everett McGill, as the mercenery leader, does the impossible...he out-mumbles Seagal. But you don't watch a Steven Seagal movie because you are expecting great characterizations. You go to watch him kick butt. He does so in all manner of ways including by hangun, hand-to-hand, and knifepoint...just to name a few. That's what you paid for...that's why you watch. It's a fast paced movie that makes more use of it's locomotive setting than you thought was possible. In the pantheon of Die Hard clones, the original Under Siege is one of the best. As far as sequels to Die Hard clones goes, it's a more than respectable action piece that does right what Speed 2 did wrong.
