5/10
Now we're cooking.

Surprisingly, 'Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995)' is better than the first film. Seagal isn't any better, but the flick itself seems to have a better understanding of what it is. As such, the thing is a lot more fun. It's basically the same thing as its predecessor: our heroic chef carves his way through a series of terrorists aboard a moving vehicle. There are several enjoyable set-pieces, side-characters and acting choices, making for an intermittently entertaining experience meant to be forgotten as soon as its credits roll. That may sound like faint praise - and it is - but the picture really isn't bad. Although it feels derivative, it works well enough for what it is. It's not the best thing in the world (in fact, it's far from it), but it isn't the worst either. 5/10
