SIMPLY AN AWESOME OLD SCHOOL 90's ACTION THRILLER

Steven Seagal was so damn Awesome back in his glory days of the 90's!!! I grew up watching him beat the crap out of street scum & terrorists & always come back to his Classic flicks. No matter what is said about Steven Seagal these days he was a hero to me growing up & i still love his old films & genuinely enjoy most of his now low-budget cheap B-flicks as i still get to see Seagal taking out the trash in today's world, he's just gotten older & more rugged & out of shape as he's only Human!!! Seagal is an Action Legend as much as Stallone, Schwarzenegger or Van Damme are because each had their Glory days of the Box office & they're all old now. My favourite Seagal film is his Action Masterpiece Out For Justice (1991) it's an incredible brutal action Thriller & my 2nd fave is his excellent urban-Voodoo Gang Action Thriller Marked For Death (1990), both superb films from the Awesome 90's that i constantly watched on video. I loved Seagal during his 90's Peak & also liked his serial killer Thriller The Glimmer Man (1996) & Hard to Kill (1990) & of course his Under Siege films which brings me to this excellent underrated Sequel, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory!!!Part 2 brings back Casey Ryback (Seagal) from the Classic first film & sticks him on a train full of Deadly Terrorists who have stolen dangerous technology that can zoom in & hit a target from space, pretty cool & typical 90's Action Thriller stuff. Seagal is his usual Cool & Calm self until he needs to be deadly & is pretty much like he is in all his films except Out For Justice, anyway he brings all the kick-Ass stuff we wanna see & the film feels like "Die Hard" on a train & that's fine it's all good. I actually have always preferred this underrated Sequel over the Classic first film but that's my opinion. Another great part about this Flick is the Awesome know-the-face selection of Movie Badguys as the terrorists, we have the always great Peter Greene (Zed) from Pulp Fiction & Judgment Night, we have the intense Jonathan Banks from 48 Hrs & Beverley Hills Cop & FreeJack & we have the rugged & icey-Cold scary Everett McGill from Wes Craven's The People Under The Stairs & Silver Bullet, a great cast of intense & great character actors as Villains!!!Here Seagal must defeat the Terrorists & save his young Niece (A young Katherine Heigl) & kicks plenty of Ass & has a fantastic fight scene with the big main badguy Marcus Penn (McGill) it's a bloody & brutal fight. All in all a Slick looking & totally 90's Cool Action Thriller

Dumb "remake" of Die Hard on a train. Hilariously stupid plot, but unintentionally very funny and full of gung ho action scenes. Good fun anyway!

George Segal is gonna conquer some bad guys on a train, who want to destroy the world. YEAH!

The best B-movies are those which originally were meant to be taken seriously. This is one of those. Everything is ridiculous about it: the acting is mediocre and the dialogues the characters have to say are incredibly dumb, yet unintentionally very funny. Let's not forget the story. Ah, yes the story, I just cant stop laughing right now, having difficulty concentrating on writing this review, because the story is (unintentionally) THAT hilarious, that it becomes enjoyable again. Laughing my head off right now...

HOWEVER,.... I still do like this movie very much, because the original spirit of "Die Hard", which is the mother of ALL action movies, the spirit of that very same classic, is present as well in Siege 2: namely 1 guy who is gonna conquer all the bad guys. There is something unmistakably attractive and exhilarating about being THE good guy who is gonna come to the rescue. I love this sequal of Siege 2 more than I do the original. Honestly, there is something about the victorious mood of this picture that I really like. Or maybe I just like action on trains...

A powerful pounding glorious soundtrack is constantly pumping up the scenes, even if George Segal is only walking into a toilet. I love it, I would love to hear marching music every time I went to the toilet. It would make life a lot more fun.

Siege 2 really is a (hilariously) bad copy of Die Hard, only set on a train this time. But it is still lots of good fun, IF one doesnt make the mistake by taking this movie seriously. Expect a B-movie and enjoy the ride...
