Under Siege (DVD, 1999)

Strong, big-budget action movie set aboard a WW11 battleship. Lee Jones is great, as always, and Segal gives one of his best performances.

Under Siege is a big budget 1990s action movie, starring Steven Segal, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, & Erika Eleniak. Disgruntled first officer, Busey, and terrorist, Jones, hijack a famous WWII battleship, and ask for a huge ransom in return for not attacking Hawaii. While the shorebound top brass agonise over how to handle this crisis, ship's cook, Segal, escapes from a meat locker and wreaks havoc with the terrorists, using his martial arts skills. He's helped by showgirl, Eleniak, who was onboard to entertain at a surprise party for the captain.

The film has plenty of large-scale military hardware: the USS Missouri, a submarine, missiles, and heavy cutting & welding equipment. All four principals give strong performances: Eleniak shows plenty of grit, Lee Jones is a convincing terrorist leader, Busey is hissable as the treacherous officer, and Segal is cool and supremely confident in all his confrontations. Well worth watching 7/10.
