Under Siege
A disgruntled ex-CIA operative, his assistant and their assembled group of terrorists seize a battleship with nuclear blackmail in mind. They've planned for every contingency but ignore the ship's cook, former Navy SEAL Casey Ryback—an error that could be fatal.
Critics Sentiment
Tommy Lee Jones and mercenaries begin violent ship takeover
Strannix launches nuclear Tomahawks toward Honolulu in retaliation
Sharp decline from the battleship gun spectacle to the over-the-top nuclear missile finale, dropping 1.3 points as critics felt the film became excessive
Under Siege maintains solid entertainment value throughout most of its runtime, peaking with Tommy Lee Jones's villainous takeover and the memorable cake scene. Critics consistently praised the cast performances and action sequences, though noted the film becomes increasingly implausible and overdone in its final act, preventing it from reaching greater heights.
