Under Siege 2 - Dark Territory [Blu-ray]

this movie is poor as a sequal to under seige its not even on a boat what were they thinking when they made it why didnt they just call it dark territory it probably would of done better.to make a seaqual to a big blockbuster must be a risk.i mean what if someone has heard good things about the original and gets this first what are they gonna think.it has got some good scenes in so i cant give it less than 3 as a seagal fan take my advise and rent before you buy

Well it was a little spooky to me that China recently had a earthquake killing hundreds. In this action movie a madman that had worked on a satellite designed to cause changes in the Earth's plate tectonics enlist the aid of a mercenary group to take over the satellite for evil uses. A demonstration of its power to potential buyers of it's services for destroying the Pentagon include the destruction of a Guano Plant (Biological Warfare Factory) in China. The movie along with the train the action takes place on moves along at a quick pace. This is a standalone good movie not carrying anything from the original except that Steven Seagal is Casey Ryback a Navy Seal & Cook again. Well worth owning on DVD.

A slow movie with bad fight scenes. I heard the first was good, so i gladly bought dis' one because the first one was impossible to find in any shop here in Sweden.

This may be the best James Bond movie ever made - and it isn't a James Bond movie. It's also one of those welcome rarities: a sequel better than its original.

Ex-Navy Seal Casey Ryback (Steven Seagall) - as in the first Under Siege - happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...in this case, aboard a train hijacked in mid-journey by terrorists. His estranged niece (Katherine Heigl) is aboard, trying to manage a little quality time with Uncle Casey. Unfortunately for them, military defense contractor Eric Bogosian - supposedly dead in a car accident, but actually alive and well and in full cahoots with the white supremacist terrorists - is using the train as a mobile platform to elude government detection, while computer-hacking into his own creation: an orbiting Star Wars particle-beam satellite. Bogosian's aim is simple - global blackmail. He and his renegade paramilitary pals want money - a lot of money - or cities around the world are going to start burning. With his country (and the world) at stake - not to mention a trainload of hostages, including his own adorable niece - what's a good, ol' fashioned, red-blooded, patriotic American ex-Navy Seal to do? Why, go to war, of course - regain control of the train, put Bogosian's satellite link out of commission, and kick a little terrorist tail.

Yes, Seagall is a terribly wooden actor, but that strangely seems to work in his favor. The character of Casey Ryback is likeable precisely because he's wooden - somehow, it simply adds to his charm. Katherine Heigl can't help but be adorable, and is appealing in everything she does. Bogosian is as slimy, cold-blooded, and despicable a cad as ever slinked his way smarmily through a red-hot action-melodrama suspenser. The rest of the cast are simply terrific, and the production and action sequences are stellar. The suspense remains steady throughout, which is no small feat for a formula melodrama. There simply isn't a dull moment. This is a beautifully unified and realized production, from Frame One to Frame Last. It's compulsively watchable, and re-watchable.

If the plot sounds vaguely familiar, you're remembering the 1971 James Bond entry Diamonds Are Forever, which ranks on about the same par as this movie. Sadly, the James Bond franchise has rarely come up to the same level, since - but this film has, and surpassed it.

First a ship, then a train, and I now await the plane. With any luck I will get my wish because this film was just as good as the first. I t doesn't have the patriotic appeal of the first, but all the other aspects are their.

A group of terrorists led by a disgruntled ex-CIA operative hijack a train and take control of a covert space satellite. By holding the passengers hostage, and threatening to use the weapons on the satellite the hijackers attempt to blackmail the Pentagon into paying a huge ransom.

Of course, they weren't expecting Casey Rybeck (Segal)...
