Entertaining Even For Non-Seagal Fans
So many action stars from the 80s & 90s have been the butt of countless jokes. Jean-Claude Van Damme's newest feature is a parody of his life. Chuck Norris's popularity is mainly due to thousands of oddball compliments. And Steven Seagal - the star of these two features - hasn't had a theatrical release since 2003.
Let me be clear: Steven Seagal is not one my favorite actors in any category. But he does have a few good movies to his name, with these UNDER SIEGE films arguably his best.
*****UNDER SIEGE (1992)*****
The movie that put Seagal on the map was ABOVE THE LAW (1988), a well-constructed crime flick directed by Andrew Davis. The director & star reunited for UNDER SIEGE, a movie which holds incredibly well for many reasons. Seagal stars as Casey Ryback, the head cook aboard a Navy battleship about to be decommissioned. After a scuffle with his psychotic Commander Krill (Gary Busey), Ryback is detained in one of his freezers. While the crew are...
Not a Steven Seagal fan, but loved these movies!
I actually bought this two-sided DVD as a surprise gift for my boyfriend who has quite the irrational affection for all things Steven Seagal. These movies are actually really enjoyable, if not a little (or a lot) unbelievable. Watch the one-man army/retired Navy SEAL that is Steven Seagal's Casey Ryback take out terrorists on a Navy battleship in the first one, and terrorist on a train in the second one. Apparently, Casey Ryback only runs into trouble on some sort of major transportation method. Anyway, both movies are jam packed with tons of awesome action, explosions, and one bad guy even gets his eyes squished out (we watched that part about ten times while laughing until we cried). Fun, with a passably decent plot, and some fantastic one-liners, these movies are a great pick me up!
STEVEN SEAGAL CAN ACT!
Say what you want about actor STEVEN SEAGAL! I admit that he's not a very good actor,he's not worthy for a oscar for best actor in a film,but in these 2 films,he can show some action and some fighting,plus the best part of this set is that TOMMY LEE JONES & GARY BUSEY make the 1st UNDER SIEGE very entertaining.
