État de crise

This movie was very cool. It was a let's shock everybody by actually showing terrorism happen that we can't stop. The only other movie to come close to showing what domestic terrorism would do to the use is The Siege. In fact there are some very surprising similarities. I would love to see this again. I can't wait to find the video I made oh so long again.

I saw this movie in the early 90's for the first time. It was long before 911 and before the substitute movie with Steven Seagall "Under Siege". This movie, with Peter Strauss as FBI director, is in fact a political statement to the American people. It shows the Americans to be alert of hate and discrimination and to look into the mirror. It shows how the justice system is in great danger and it also shows how a national crisis will be adressed by different parties like CIA, FBI and Homeland Security. When you see this movie you will learn how the American political system works. But to find this movie on the market will be very difficult because it looks like it is banned from the US forever and replaced by heroic titles with similar names and different actors. And that freightens me the most. I just saw this movie again and i had to write this review asking myself: how would Trump react on this kind of terror scenario? There should be a modern remake of this movie, regarding 911. Including all the lies from Colin Powell etc. This is one of the best movies i have ever seen including the repetitive but thrilling soundtrack from Brad Fiedel which is also banned i think because it has never been released. Too bad this movie is technical outdated (no mobile phones, flat screens, fast computers, etc.) but it is still a must to see.

Okay, I haven't seen this in years, but I distinctly remember it, in detail, from when it originally aired on TV.

The premise of terrorists wandering about bombing and rocketing things is perfectly scary, sure. And I guess if you are so inclined, you'd find it prescient of 9/11. In reality, it seemed to be an extreme version of what had happened in the past decade in Europe.

Anyway, I recall it being sorta not that good. I watched for the premise, explosions, and waiting for some law enforcement or military unit to do something useful about it. Instead soldiers hoot and holler about a girl and get blown up for their effort, and so on.

Typical TV-movie fare, really.

I thought Under Siege was a great movie. In fact, I would like to know if there are any plans for future airing. The actors did an excellent job of portraying their characters. The presence of terrorism in our own back yard brought home the reality of our state of unreadiness for such an attack.

I would love to see and possibly purchase this film for my library. In fact, I was an extra ( FBI agent) in this movie on location in Little Rock, Arkansas. I watched much of the filming of this movie and the work of the director who did remarkable work.

Peter Strauss and Stan Shaw are two of my favorite actors. I thought they were great in their roles.

This is not a GREAT film, but in the aftermath of 911 and the War on Terror, now that we know the consequences of following the hawks and their lies regarding threats from Weapons of Mass Destruction, this film demonstrates what could have happened by getting all the proper evidence first. From reading some other comments, I understand that it has not been shown on American TV for some time (I saw it on Malaysian TV). Perhaps it has been banned as subversive by the White House.

It is a typical "TV movie" with a few of the "usual TV movie suspects", but has a valid point, which is put over quite well. In addition, the terrorists are not overly "foaming at the mouth" fanatics, for which we should be grateful, compared to, say, the terrorists in "True Lies".
