Under Siege - 1992 - 6/10

Though considered “too mainstream” by Seagal’s old school fans, this remains a guilty pleasure
From the era of “action heroes” (which bloated into “super heroes”), Steven Seagal plays lowly Navy cook on a battleship that falls under the control of mercenaries.
Seagal, you guessed it, more than a mere cook, takes on the hijackers.
Mindless film benefits from excellent villains, Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey.
Even the second tier villains are great.
Seagal, also, is not a one man show. He receives assistance from supporting characters.
Followed by an inferior sequel and a seemingly endless stream of chest-thumping duds for Seagal.
“It’s not a job, it’s an adventure.”
