" Steven Seagal sets the screen alight in the all action classic- UNDER SIEGE " said the BBC announcer before the transmission . I beg to differ Mr Announcer . UNDER SIEGE isn`t the worst action film ever made but its no classic either . It can best be described as an ultra violent episode of MACGUYVER with the hero living on his wits and making all sorts of deadly booby traps with anything that comes to hand . The best aspect of the film is the performances oof Busey and Jones as the bad guys . Conversly the worst aspect of UNDER SIEGE is the performance of the leading man. We could sit all day on one of the boards and discuss who is the greatest ever action star but there can be no doubt that the worst one is Steven Seagal . He has the facial expression of a totem pole and the voice of a speak your weight machine that`s overdosed on tranquillisers , and seeing as UNDER SIEGE features Seagal`s greatest ever performance as an actor it comes as no surprise we don`t see him on cinema screens anymore

No you`re not Steven you`re very bad and the only way you`ll set my TV screen alight is if you come round to my flat with a flamethrower
