This movie was all right for the most part, but in the end becomes the typical Steven Seagal movie with the only major difference being he is actually reprising his role as the cook from the first "Under Siege". And the only carryover from that film is the fact he is supposed to be the same guy and cook. Part of the reason this one just did not have what the first film had is partly the no name cast aside from Seagal. The first film had a nice assortment of actors like Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey as the bad guys. It also had a very attractive sidekick for Seagal in that film in the form of a stripper that popped out of a cake. Here he is teamed up with some other dude and I think his niece, so decidedly a step down in the sidekick department. Here some computer terrorist type has hijacked a train and is planning something sinister, of course. He also has a bunch of military type nut jobs at his disposal. Well guess who is on the train, yes the cook from the first film and of course he is going to make things very hard on the bad guys. The action is okay and the film is not bad at all, just has a been there done that feel to it. Though these days almost all films have that same feel to it. So all in all it passes the time okay and is not boring and you get to see Seagal kick butt per the usual in his movies.
