Just finished Under Siege! Casey Ryback (the correct spelling) this time. A theme I forgot to mention in the last one, the vest revealed when things get real, is very present in this classic as well. What can I say that hasn’t been said many times before? Not much. Therefore, I just want to remind everyone about some things such as the microwave bomb ingredients, which were ready on the side, and the fact that the bomb went off at precisely the right moment (~10 minutes later), after so much else had happened in-between. Also, a quick note about the (original) captain’s continuity; after being shot, they never moved from the chair in all the ensuing scenes until Casey bursts in and then they’re on the floor.
Additionally, Seagal not yet being (/[more likely] trying not to be) creepy in the presence of Mrs July. He picks her up like it’s nothing, which is funny though. All the TVs lost signal and then suddenly had signal again in the next shot of control HQ, now on unrelated news channels which no one was looking at. Another obvious one but Mrs July suddenly becoming a weapons expert. Chief/Chef Seagal fails to ‘bust a move’ at the beginning (the correct spelling) of the film but manages to – at the end – by kissing Mrs July. That’s it.

[Redacted] gives it a solid 8.5 and I agree (if a decimal rating is unacceptable then I would definitely round it up to a 9!)
