Critic Reviews

Empire - William Thomas

Sound silly? It is. Very. But it's also highly enjoyable, incredibly slick and a damn sight more entertaining than numerous other bombastic actioners. Bogosian makes for a splendidly deranged villain. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman

A solidly enjoyable formula thriller. Read full review

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert

I mention all of these tiny logical quibbles because I was amused by them. I was also amused by the film. It isn't as good as the original "Under Siege," but it moves quickly, has great stunts and special effects, and is a lot of fun. Read full review

Philadelphia Inquirer - Desmond Ryan

There is no discernible train of thought in Under Siege 2, but it serves up exactly what Seagal fans want - a movie where the body count is higher than the IQ needed to enjoy it. [17 July 1995, p.D01]

Variety - Leonard Klady

Bogosian provides some much-needed comic relief to the slogging tale. He turns in solid work, as does Everett McGill as his head strongman, but they and others are saddled with pedestrian dialogue and motivation. Read full review

The New York Times - Stephen Holden

Although Under Siege 2 isn't credible for a single moment, its director, Geoff Murphy, has done a smoothly efficient job of coordinating the action sequences. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Simona Chiose

It's not acting, it's not moviemaking, it's not cooking, and it's hardly watchable. [17 July 1995]
