Casey Ryback: You think this is being shot? This ain't being shot.
Back in 1992, there was a thriller about a cook aboard a Navy vessel who got stuck with the job of stopping a bunch of generic terrorists. All-in-all, the film wasn't great, but sizable portions were redeemed by the wonderfully over-the-top performance of Tommy Lee Jones. Of course, the good guy was played by Steven Segal, the macho man with the frozen expression. Now, for a reason that has more to do with Segal's ego than a creative impulse, the unsuspecting action-loving public has just had UNDER SIEGE 2 foisted upon it. Those that thought DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE was a disappointment had better be prepared for the worst.
