Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is a 1995 American action thriller film directed by Geoff Murphy, starring Steven Seagal as the ex-Navy SEAL, Casey Ryback.Set on board a train traveling through the Rocky Mountains from Denver to Los Angeles, it is the sequel to the 1992 film Under Siege also starring Seagal. Under Siege 2-Dark Territory sees Ryback in the same scenario as detective John McClane, wrong place, wrong time. Directed by Geoff Murphy. REVIEW: Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) There is a moment in the middle of Geoff Murphy’s Under Siege 2: Dark Territory in which a group of mercenaries have hijacked a long-haul passenger train, only to find that one of the passengers has taken matters into his hands and is killing them off one by one. On vacation with his niece on a train from Denver to L.A., he unwittingly gets drawn into another battle with terrorists intent on blowing up Washington. It seems sometimes that to get a good review on this site, you keep having to go back a decade or two. The success of "Die Hard on a ship" led to an inevitable sequel - Under Siege 2: Dark Territory or "Die Hard on a train". However upon each viewing I actually am enjoying it a whole lot better. In "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" Steven Seagal is back as Casey Ryback, ex-Navy SEAL and current cook, and he's as snidely catatonic as ever. Like the mid 1990s. Early into the trip, terrorists board the train and use it as a mobile HQ to hijack a top secret destructive US satellite. Under Siege 2 is an unfairly underrated movie. A fairly disappointing follow-up, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory follows Steven Seagal’s Casey Ryback as he’s forced to once again spring into action after armed terrorists commandeer a passenger train. When I saw this the first time I liked it but didn't like it as much as the original. / Believe it or not one of Seagal's best. It’s struggling to stay above a 5/10 on the IMDb and 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. Review of Under Siege 2: Dark Territory 6 / 10. genre: die hard clone, action, thriller. Review Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995): Die Hard on a train! But the bad guys overlook one man - the cook - who turns into a one-man army and fights back.
