	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Imagine my astonishment at enjoying 'Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.' (...) It isn't as good as the original 'Under Siege,' but it moves quickly, has great stunts and special effects, and is a lot of fun. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"I have come to the conclusion that it's impossible for a Steven Segal movie to be anything better than mediocre, and this particular travesty may be his worst yet"	NEG
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"Sound silly? It is. Very. But it's also highly enjoyable, incredibly slick and a damn sight more entertaining than numerous other bombastic actioners. Bogosian makes for a splendidly deranged villain."	POS
Canada	The Globe and Mail	"It's not acting, it's not moviemaking, it's not cooking, and it's hardly watchable"	NEG
United Kingdom	Nick Funnell Time Out	"This is Seagal's best movie since Out for Justice."	POS
United States	Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune	"This is a perfect summer action film experience."	POS
United States	Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle	"It is so bad and illogical that even devoted loyalists should find their faith tested."	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"A solidly enjoyable formula thriller."	POS
United States	Desmond Ryan Philadelphia Inquirer	"There is no discernible train of thought in 'Under Siege 2', but it serves up exactly what Seagal fans want - a movie where the body count is higher than the IQ needed to enjoy it"	NEU
United States	Peter Rainer Los Angeles Times	"'Under Siege 2' isn't going to convince anyone that Seagal is Brando, though he often sounds a bit like him. But, taken strictly as an action sequel, the film is a lively show."	POS
