Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
When I was a lad, Under Siege was a name spoken of in the same awed tones as Die Hard: the very top tier of action. Watching it again 20+ years later, it's fair to say that it does not quite hold up to that, with blame primarily laid at the feet of erstwhile star Steven Seagal.
Casey Ryback, ex-SEAL turned ship's cook, has to save the day when his ship, laden with nuclear weapons, is hijacked by ex-CIA asset Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones) and the treacherous Commander Krill (Gary Busey). Seagal is dreadful but the action is engaging and the villains delightful.
It's just great fun.
