Assaut final

This movie is so bad, I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

Mel Harris looks like the best actress in the universe next to all those other morons. Baldwin? What a joke. I have heard about how bad he supposedly is. Today I experienced it - this guy is a disaster.

And the director? Never, EVER(!) let him make another movie! What a waste of time...

I can't believe anybody paid money to see this "movie", nevertheless bought the DVD. Was there any company brave enough to publish this thing on DVD? I hope not...

Got to be the worst I have ever seen.

"Vishnu has of late toned down his huge frame and he fits the part perfectly. Though he is a digital media professional, his character uses more of brain and muscles instead of technology. Though his performance is not really up to the mark, he pulls off stunts beautifully. On the other hand, Praneetha does little than walking around in mini- skirts. JD Chakravarthy gets to play the villain and he does his part well and with ease. Nagineedu in a brief role makes his presence felt. Usually, the norm is that in films that Vishnu produces, the technical values are high. "

I Saw The Movie Dynamite on Lifetime TV. It was under the title, Family Under Siege. I really loved this movie and I know who ever watches it will love it too. Faye Baxter is played great by Mel Harris as a protected mother and a wife of a business man. Three robbers holds the family hostage and plans to kill all of them. I think Michelle Jackson who played Alex did a wonderful job playing the oldest daughter who's a little wild and really funny and loves to pick on her little brother Nick played by Cameron Bowen in the movie, I Love that part when Alex's flips Nick on the head and he tells her to stop, and Alex says, you know you love it, being mean, I also laughed at Alex showing that crook her fake butterfly on her lower back and her mom thinking it was real. This movie is a must watch type of movie everyone will enjoy, it has wonderful action with the two kids, And other stuff you will enjoy. This is my type of movie and I give it an,

A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

P.S. I Would Love To See Michelle Jackson And Cameron Bowen In More movies In The Future. They were GREAT.

If you're a Daniel Baldwin or a "Baldwin brothers" fan, *maybe* you'll go la dee da over this thing they called a movie.

The only person in "A Family Under Siege" aka "Dynamite" worth their pay is Mel Harris. The movie is among the worst I've ever seen. Mel Harris has kept up to her standard excellent performance. No one else in the cast of "A Family Under Siege" is worth mentioning. The writing and screen play is the worst. No one in the movie was worth their pay.

I wouldn't watch it for free - which I did. This was so bad, that I know I won't watch it again "by accident". It was too bad to ever forget any part of it.

Caught this on a day following all night on the phone to Europe - so just "vegged-out" and watched half-awake. Half-awake is quite sufficient to follow this story.

In the midst of these psychos pointing large revolvers at them, enough dynamite planted in the attic to demolish the famous bridge spanning the River Kwai --- and the protagonists assurances they are intending to blow them up --- Mom finds time to calmly see if the bad guys won't let her kids get some sleep. She later engages in a quiet, but stern, monologue, lecturing her somewhat rebellious daughter about life's choices, and her need to become more thoughtful about same.

This story does look like a soap opera with many disjointed scenes, and another person who commented here hit the proverbial nail on the head, describing this flick as a combination of "Die Hard" and "Leave it to Beaver."

Daniel Baldwin seemed as if he might nod-off at any moment, and his young confederate (alluding back to "...Beaver" again) seemed like Eddie Haskell with a revolver.

All-in-all, it looked as if it might have been written by several different ("C") students in a script writing class, different aspects, loosely connected.

There is even an intended surprise towards the end, but by that time the complete lack on any empathy towards these characters as presented makes this entirely moot. Give it 3*, rather than 1 or 2, simply because it is one of those presentations providing a minimum amount of fascination in its mediocrity.
