Amazon.co.uk Review
Steven Seagal can consider himself lucky if he ever makes a better movie than this one, which was appropriately dubbed "Die Hard on a battleship" when released in 1992. Seagal handles the heroic duties with his usual wooden efficiency, but the movie's greatest assets are a punchy script and the scene-stealing performances of Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. The two play leaders of a terrorist group who take over the venerable battleship USS Missouri during its final commissioned voyage. They're crazed psychotics who seize control of the ship's nuclear arsenal, but they don't know that Seagal--as the ship's cook, no less--is a former Navy hero, lurking in the shadows and waiting to spoil their nefarious scheme. Director Andrew Davis (The Fugitive) helms the action with skilful style, and as the cheesecake stripper who proves handy with a hand grenade, Playboy Playmate-turned-actress Erika Eleniak gives Seagal another reason to strut his macho stuff. Under Siege is hormonal hokum for gun-happy viewers, but as action movies go, this one's a definite guilty pleasure. --Jeff Shannon

Format:Blu-ray
Absolute classic action movie that never ever will get old! Has all the formula! Steven Seagal is top of his game in this film, a must own on blu-ray as the picture is much, much better than the DVD version, there are bits of grain here and there but who cares! The u.s import version is region free and 5 minutes longer with all the blood and gore, the u.k version is cut to bits and is not the definitive version for your collection.

Format:VHS Tape
The first time I saw Under Siege, I was ill and had to be taken to hospital half way through but thanks to Amazon (UK) and their realistic pices, it was possible for me to see it again, with only a two-day wait! Steven Seagal is by far my favourite martial-artist actor and Under Siege is my favourite movie. If you like this martial-arts extravaganza, then Under Siege should be a must-have in your video collection! Also, see Under Siege 2. --Lee Rollason

Format:Blu-ray
Considering the age of this film now, the transfer to blue ray has been very good. Colour balance is very good, with no problems with any of the low light sections of the film. This is a worth while buy for your blue ray collection.
