Seagal, it turns out, is only as good as his director.

Under Siege doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's got excitement galore. (HD-DVD Edition)

I'm not sure the wife or girlfriend would approve, but for the man of the house, it's above-average beer-and-pretzels material.

A big step above Seagal's usual dreck thanks to skillful direction by Andrew Davis and strong villains played by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey.

The film moves along at a very good pace and never gets boring. This is the last great film Seagal made and the final one for a lot of
