The Siege

No review content available.

The siege starts really well and it has you on the edge of your seat When the F.B.I are confronted with the evil Arab terrorists then what happens? Bruce Willis comes along and changes a superb film into a stupid one. Who decided to make this film into a believable one to a ridiculous farce wants shooting! You will see what i mean when Willis comes along. I would have given this movie a 9 out of ten for the first half but a 3 for the second. 6 out of 10

Minor spoilers I thought it was The Negotiator (which I later saw and enjoyed) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120768/ when I accidentally rented it. I saw the cover art and mistook it. They made it look like the other movie. Anyway, I watched it. The villain is way too obvious. Why didn't someone just shoot him in the first 5 minutes? There was very little real action. It's a boring lawyer movie where the lawyers spend all day worrying about legal loopholes and seem completely uninterested in the fact that terrorists are running around killing people. It may be even worse of a movie now, in light of the events on Sept 11, 2001.

Politically this movie ruffled more than a few nations feathers. This action thriller gets quite busy, but doesn't sustain interest. NYC is placed under martial law as bombers evade capture by federal agents led by Assistant Special Agent-in-charge of FBI Counter-Intelligence(Denzel Washington). F/X more than adequate. Supporting cast includes: Annette Bening, Tony Shaloub and Bruce Willis.
