It's one of 2 good Seagal Movies

Hard to Kill and Under Siege are worth watching for anyone who hasn't seen a "Steven Seagal" movie. Hard to Kill has an interesting story line---albeit predictable at times---but, mainly, it's enjoyable to watch because it also has Kelly LeBrock. I've watched every other "Steven Seagal" movie---when nothing else was on TV---and once is enough.

But, Hard to Kill and Under Siege are worth watching more than once, as long as enough time has passed since one's viewed them last...

Actually I liked 3 more beside your 2.

Under Siege 2 was as good as the first, Out for Justice, and then an actually very good Above the Law.

Not a Seagal movie, but his role in Machete was pretty hilarious.

I've always thought that Under Siege was extremely overrated. Not sure why a 3rd rate Die Hard knock-off became his biggest hit and critical success.

Hard to Kill is a great guilty pleasure movie, and Above the Law is also worth watching because it's Seagal before he began believing his own hype. But even Out for Justice and Marked for Death--all of Seagal's early three word title "super cop" movies--are at least worth a watch.

Yes, Marked for Death was a fine movie with the very beautiful Joanna Pacula, whoo was very underutilized.

I liked all his movies up to Fire Down Below and he started trying to make "message" movies.

After that I lost touch till Machete.

His early ones were definitely the best including this one and Above the Law was a great debut. I started losing interest after Under Siege 2. Executive Decision, which is a fine film,, could hardly be called a Seagal film.🐭

Out For Justice was also a classic.

^ that's one of my favorites in the Seagal saga

[–] KinkyInk (1694) 3 years ago

Hard to Kill is one of my favorites also.

But when I watch it I have to mentally block out all the stories about how much of a dick Seagal is in real life.

Watching it right now. Definitely hands down is Seagal’s best flick. Watching it now makes you realize how badass Seagal used to be in his heydays. This movie proves it.
