The success of Under 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

I am well pleased with my order. I received it in 2-3 days. It saved me time and money of searching elsewhere.
Under Siege 2: Dark Territory January 5, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Maniacal techno-expert Travis Dane hijacks a train and converts it into a command center. He seizes control of a satellite super-weapon and threatens to destroy Washington, D.C., unless his one-billion dollar demand is met. Unfortunately for him, however, Casey Ryback happens to be on board, travelling with his niece, Sarah, and is the only man between Dane and the obliteration of three million people. This movie is great with a lot of action, very entertaining.

Reprising his role as ex-navy SEAL Casey Ryback, Steven Seagal stars in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995). While the original Under Siege took place on the battleship USS Missouri, the setting this time is on a train, the Grand Continental, where Ryback is travelling with his niece Sarah (Katherine Heigl), from Denver to Los Angeles. Winding through the Colorado mountains, terrorists take over the train, led by Travis Drane (Eric Bogosian) a computer whiz, with a superiority complex, mixed with a streak of drama queen, who developed a top secret satellite weapon called Grazer One, for the US government. After securing some passwords from a pair of officers aboard the train, Drane takes control of the satellite, and offers its destructive services for sale to the highest bidder, while planning the destruction of the Pentagon.
Ruthless Marcus Penn (Everett McGill) commands the mercenaries, who's numbers start to diminish as an undiscovered Ryback begins to strike. When eventually discovered, Ryback winds up clinging to the side of a cliff. It takes some daring moves, but the resourceful Ryback is soon back aboard the train. In general, the stunts and action sequences are executed pretty well, though realism and logic are not critical factors. A shootout in a passenger car instigated by Ryback, is pure madness. A significant effort was put into special effects. Although some of the effects are dated, most hold up pretty well, including the finale, a head on collision between two trains on a bridge.
Morris Chestnut plays a porter pressed into doing more than just handling luggage. Chestnut and Seagal, would later team up in Half Past Dead (2002). Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) does pretty well, in an early film appearance. Eric Bogosian (Law and Order: Criminal Intent), does a serviceable job, as your typical irritating, egomaniacal villain. More a convenience then a necessity, Nick Mancuso as Tom Breaker, and Andy Romano as Admiral Bates, reprise their roles from Under Siege.
While lacking the tension and 'realism' of the original, Under Siege 2 is still a very passable action adventure. The cast is not as strong, and the story not as solid, but Casey Ryback is a fairly likeable character, that only occasionally comes across as a jerk. Seagal displays the kind of physical prowess, largely absent from his more recent efforts. It is somewhat surprising that he has not yet resurrected the character for another sequel, but who knows the future may bring.
Almost . . . November 12, 2009
C. Petit (Springfield, MA United States)
This is one of those "in the mood" flics. You just have to be in the mood for a "no-brainer". The action is typical Segal, and the premise stretches things, many times more than a bit. There are several excellent scenery shots which almost make the Blu-ray format worth it. Other than the satellite gimmick, one can almost believe the rest of the plot. The cast, for the most part, turn in a professional job. Seagal almost smiles enough that you can be almost sure they don't have a mannequin doing the role. Not a bad piece of mental candy, if the price is right.
"Nobody Beats Me In The Kitchen." Hell Of A High-Speed Thriller From Start To Finish. Katherine Heigl Is HOT, HOT, HOT. July 12, 2009

Steven Seagal plays Casey F---ing Ryback once again in this (literally) explosive and high-octane, high-speed thriller loaded with jaw-dropping action sequences and very cool eye candy (I'm talkin' girls now). Katherine Hiegl is drop-dead gorgeous. Pity she didn't get naked. The sex scene should have been longer. Anyway, Eric Bogosian (yea, that creepy dude who's now on "Law Ander Order: Criminal Intent") is the villain in this sequel. Hell, I would have preferred someone like Denzel Washington or an A-list actor as the baddie. But that probably would have upstaged Seagal, who's the focus of the movie. I give this sequel five stars because of Ms. Hiegl, the rest of the eye candy and the action sequences. This movie had something the first movie (which I didn't much care for) should have had: comic relief. The movie should have been rated PG-13 for some violence and mild language. "Nobody Beats Me In The Kitchen." All Aboard.
