The success ofUnder Siege made a sequel mandatory according to Hollywood's rules of maximum revenue, and as sequels go, this one's not half bad. Steven Seagal returns as former Navy SEAL and skilled chef Casey Ryback, who's trying to spend quality time with his niece on a cross-country train trip. But as luck and action-movie formulas would have it, the train has been hijacked by a demented genius (Eric Bogosian) who is using the train as a moving platform to seize computerized control of a top-secret U.S. satellite that is capable of causing earthquakes from space. Seagal has to stop the train or the villain (whichever comes first), and the action is fast and furious on its way to a high-speed climax. He's not as wacky as Tommy Lee Jones in the first Under Siege, but Bogosian has got a delirious quality that serves the comic-book plot, and action fans get more than their fill of dazzling stunts and special effects. --Jeff Shannon

 ships and trains with a particle beam in orbit June 17, 2009
R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
For the first time the black porter calls Aikido jujitsu in this movie.
As these martial arts super hero movies go this one is pretty good, but the moving around outside of these streamlined aluminum cars by Seagal isn't very believable for me.
For me, Seagal seems to embody the bully in martial arts:
the kind that the Karate Kid is supposed to be not like.
You don't find him fighting a real karate or kung fu type
as far as I remember in any of his films.
That actually might be interesting if staged right.
Just another hero saves world film...
I liked the first one better.
Average fare April 10, 2009

This is an entertaining sequel to Under Seige, which is a non-stop action thrill ride. Seagal is still in good shape, unlike in his recent films, and still looks the part as the ex-Navy seal who is accidently on a train that terrorists take over. So all good so far, but thats about it...
Where the movie falls down compared to the first film is the lack of a stand-out actor. Tommy Lee-Jones and Gary Busey may not be A list stars like Matt Damon and Tom Cruise but you can bank on them to deliver fine performances, which they did in the first film. This film doesn't have an equivalent.
I'm happy to accept this as a piece of comic strip fluff, but I do have a problem with films where believeability is stretched beyond the limit. Occassionally the film had some lighter moments, but I never got the impression that this film took itself anything other than entirely seriously.
Still I didn't switch it off, and its always worth watching Seagal do his martial arts stuff. Full credit there, that he IS very good at. Buy if cheap.
 Very pleased March 12, 2009

This BluRay edition of Under Siege 2 is the best this film has looked since it was projected in theaters, maybe better. It doesn't fix the film's cheesy plot or goofball one-liners, but it still manages to entertain and be one of Seagal's better films after all this time. It's nothing near how great the original film was, but it's serviceable. I only wish there were more extras aside from a handful of trailers. I mean, come on, it's not like Seagal isn't available to do a commentary track. After seeing some of his more recent film exploits I'm sure he'll do anything for a buck or two.
Can't beat the price and free shipping! November 22, 2008
