Alarmstufe: Rot

Steven Seagal is at his best here. Under Siege became one of 1992's most successful films, earning Seagal a fine reputation as a good action star. Andrew Davis directed the film about a US Battleship that has been taken over by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey and it's up to Steven Seagal, who acts as the Captain's chef plus being an Ex-Navy Seal, to save the day with the help of the sexy Erika Eleniak who plays Miss July Playboy 1989.

Jones and Busey particularly are great as the two villains and the action scenes and karate moves from Seagal are quite well choregraphed with a fine score by Gary Chang. The supportive cast all turn in fine and impressive even humorous performances. Highly recommended for fans of the action genre.
