Critics Consensus

Utterly forgettable and completely unnecessary, Under Siege 2 represents a steep comedown from its predecessor -- and an unfortunate return to form for its star.

Okay so after I review the smash hit Under Siege the first film I have to review the second film which you both think it's not as good as the first, this is one of my favourites. It came out in 1995 where I was born and in some ways, yeah that's the way it is and in other ways it came out the same year as Pocahontas but in other ways the fight scenes are really great, in other ways it's fantastic, in other ways this is the best sequels ever made if not the best, oh boy, I'm just a sucker. The end fight scene is awesome and the train crash is absolutely fxxking awesome. Eric Bogosian is pretty good in it and Morris Chestnut is hilarious in it as well. This is the one that I can think whilst looking at my collection! Holy sxxt!

A very lazy sequel that basically copies and pastes the entire story of the first movie and put Steven Seagal on a train instead of a submarine.

DanTheMan 2

Admittedly, I got a sense of false hope when I saw Written by Matt Reeves pop up in the opening credits, however, it's very easy to see that very little of whatever was written by Reeves remains in Under Siege 2 and that Seagal pretty much rewrote and adlibbed whatever his ego demanded on the fly in what ultimately becomes Steven Seagal vs TECHNOLOGY the movie. Like the first Under Siege, most of the film is propped up by everyone surrounding Seagal. His non-existent acting chops are only made worse by the false chemistry he thinks he shares with an underage Katherine Heigl who clearly is having none of it yet turns in a good performance anyway. Eric Bogosian and Everett McGill are decent enough villains but with the pedestrian dialogue and limited screen time they don't have the same impact as the villainous trio from the original even with some enjoyably hammy overacting. Overall, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is a pretty dated and lifeless sequel with various similarities to GoldenEye released later the same year, right up until the insane third act which makes slogging through the rest of the film somewhat worth it.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

There's still entertainment to be had as Seagal goes through his usual counterterrorism routines, but here he uses guns more than his famous hand-to-hand combat techniques.

Rated: 5/10
