The Siege Reviews

Relevant in todays climate. Denzels back must hurt from carrying that film. Overall - 3/10

Ah, not great, The Siege goes a bit too silly for me. Narrative decisions were so excessive that it’s actually hard to take it serious, but then it strangely takes what it’s doing too seriously to be considered a campy-action-thriller. It’s a messy attempt at being socially relevant, cramming too many ideas onto a page than it’s got space to flesh it out. That said, a lot of it, especially around the Government discrimination, is scarily relevant right now.

Denzel’s charisma is just nuts though… feel like I say it every time but man he’s so good. Benning is also pretty impressive here, playing the ambiguity of her character really convincingly. Bruce Willis is criminally underused and even when he is, the character is incredibly one dimensional.

I can sort of appreciate the film’s intentions, but its lack of control in storytelling is destructive by all accounts. Praise to Denzel though, obvs!

Nothing hooked me to the story . 6.2/10

Without a great performance from Denzel this is a pretty bad over politicised film

no está tan buena como pensé al principio Pero si te da una buena representación de que pasa con la gente cuando tiene miedo.

7.2/10

This movie has somehow been a Denzel blind spot for me. But of course he was great, I love a 90s crime thriller. Interesting dystopian kind of concept. Solid watch.

Who wrote these dialogues?🤦‍♂️

eh

Entertaining action flick with a good cast and a solid story. It’s Bruce Willis and Denzel Washington in the same movie what’s not to like.

Once if my favourite Denzel films with great supporting performances.

A little boring, didn’t amaze me too much. Still great story and actors. But did not get me.

Dean would like it but not rly interesting to me

4/10

Denzel Washington at his best. I’m a super fan for sure.

Denzel on top

10/10- another amazing Denzel movie

If Denzel was not in this it would be a 1/10 for me, throughly disliked this to its core.
