Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
MSHughes-1 On the other hand, why not just watch Under Siege 2 again and save yourself a job? There seemed a time - long, long ago, I know - when Jeff Fahey seemed to be going somewhere. It seemed as if he might be going to the same kind of place, say, Billy Zane was going. Unfortunately, they misjudged their stop and got off at Palookaville, where they have been resident ever since, hardly troubling the rest of us with their 'adventures'. And then, after so long - this! Does anyone else see the irony of a 'vehicle' for JF being... a hijacked train? This is even worse than the Pinter-penned drivel that was the remake of 'Sleuth'. Why take something good and regurgitate it as this kind of pap? Well, actors got to eat too - even if it is crow.
sol1218 **Some Spoilers** Being obsessed in capturing outlaw militia leader David Anderson, Brent Huff, ATF man Eddie Lyman, Jeff Fahey, got himself suspended for overreacting, to say the least, in a raid on Anderson's secret hide out.It's when Eddie's girlfriend Valerie Miller (Beth Toussaint), as his press secretary, went on a train trip taking anti-gun campaigning Seanator Douglas Wilson, Eddie Hudson, down to Southern California that he, having nothing better to do, decided to tag along. Wilson plans to plead his case to the American public for unrestricted Federal gun-control laws in the congress which he hopes to get passed. It also so happens that Anderson has plans for the Senator and his staff that call for not only the use of guns, in all shapes sizes, but also the use of a suitcase nuclear bomb to blow up a good part of the Golden State!The action, when it finally starts, is fast and furious with Eddie taking on not only Anderson and his gang of militia men but his own ATF who are anything but happy with him being on the train, and unauthorized at that, and jeopardizing all those aboard including Senator Wilson. Despite Anderson and Co. being the bad guys in the movie he at least had an excuse for not liking federal enforcement agencies like the ATF in that they were responsible for the death, in a wild shoot out, of both his wife and young daughter. It was also ironic that Senator Wilson who's so fanatically anti-gun also had his wife and daughter gunned down, like Anderson, in a drive by shooting but had the exact opposite opinion on firearms that Anderson had! That was until the opportunity presented itself for Senator Wilson to get his hands on an assault weapon and then start blasting away!As the movie went on it became very obvious to everyone, but the militia men, that Anderson was insane with some kind of a death wish and was not only planning to murder his hostages but himself and his gang of terrorists as well! This had Anderson knock off more of his fellow militia men, who didn't have a clue in what he was planning for them, then even Eddie and the ATF did!By the numbers thriller with really no surprises to offer it's audience but lots of mindless shootouts and explosions as well as a major train wreck. The only surprises in the movie was the nuclear bomb that Anderson planned to detonate on board the runaway train. Being the size of a can of aerosol hairspray I wondered if it, when activated, could have even blown up doll house much less a major town or city. And what was even more ridicules about the so-called nuclear bomb is that it took nothing more then Valerie pulling out a single wire, or plug, to totally disarm the thing!
Movie Nuttball The Last Siege is in My opinion a very good action movie with an unusual cast! Jeff Fahey, Ernie Hudson, Ernie Hudson Jr., Patrick Kilpatrick, Frank McRae, Beth Toussaint, and Brent Huff were all good in this movie. Brent Huff reminded Me a lot of Michael Wincott. Its something that Patrick Kilpatrick was in a similar movie called Under Siege 2: Dark Territory years before this was made. He even plays a similar character in this film and not to mention he is very good in the movie! I think he is an underrated actor. The music is very good in the movie, it has solid acting, action, directing, musical score, and everything else. If you liked Under Siege 2: Dark Territory and want to see another great film similar like it then The Last Siege is an awesome film to watch!
pat1092001 A whistle stop campaign turned hijacking, this movie borrows a bit from Konchalovsky's "Runaway Train." It's a lean popcorn action thriller. Not a ton of character development, and the continuity between scenes is a bit uneven, but none-the-less it is a good example of the genre.
