Under Siege (1992)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 102m
Director: Andrew Davis
Cast: Steven Seagal, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, Patrick O'Neal
Synopsis:
On a final voyage to have its missiles decommissioned, the USS Missouri is taken over by rogue intelligence agents with the connivance of a grudge-harbouring shipboard Commander. The Captain is murdered, the crew locked away and the vessel's armoury trained on sundry military targets, but they are reckoning without the Head Chef, a disgraced former Navy SEAL living out his service in an ancillary capacity.
Review:
Classic Die Hard heroics with even less exposition and characterization. In effect an old-fashioned B-movie with new-fashioned flippant violence and a high body count. Pacy entertainment of the most undemanding kind and, given its still more violent successors, a somewhat unsettling one.
