	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This movie does a terrific job of making every scene play like a real event on a ship at sea, and that's part of its charm (...) The villains are superb, vile and deliriously insane (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"This no-brainer is fine if all you're after a bit of escapism, but don't look for anything deeper than that (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS

United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"As wild as the premise is, Under Siege is almost guiltily enjoyable."	POS
