Under Siege

Under Siege, 1992

A cook and former navy seal Casey Ryback (Steven Segal, Above the Law) works on a US Navy Battleship known as the USS Missouri on its final voyage before becoming part of Naval history. When the ship gets taken over by a rouge CIA Agent William Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones, The Fugitive) and ship excutive officer Commander Krill (Gary Buesy, Point Break).

With the help of the lovely Jordan Tate, also known as Miss July 89 (Erika Eleniak, Baywatch), who appears in a very steamy seen of jumping out of cake in nothing but a very small naval jacket and captains hat, ryback must stop krill and strannix offloading the cargo of naval warheads and save the ship and crew. Lets just say I was a very excited young man when I saw Miss July 89 pop out of the cake

Undersiege has it all gun fights, hand to hand combat and finishing with a classic segal knife fight. If you liked Segal in Above the law, Hard to Kill and Marked for Death you will love him in Under Siege

8/10

  1. The original celebrity chef! I'd like to see Bill Granger do what Ryback does in this flick. You love your Segal rowdy and I tend to agree this is a goody.

  2. I never really understood Segal as an action hero. The grabbing and hugging style martial arts combines with the pony tail to make me wonder if Segal should be playing the heroine and not the hero. This movie is testimony to the fact that a movie can be built around one, eleven second boob scene. I would rate this movie higher if it hadnt been played on WIN TV twice a year for the last decade. Tommy 'Outhouse, Henhouse, Doghouse' Jones plays the villain well and who can forget this movie's genre defining "war room" where the decision makers must make that early morning phone call to "wake up the president".
