Reviews


88
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
It's a thinking person's thriller, where pyrotechnics give way to plot, character development supplants fight scenes, and adrenaline does not short-circuit intelligence.
80
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
A political thriller with more plausibility -- and yes, more thrills -- than most.
70
Village Voice - Unnamed
An intramural debate masquerading as an action movie.
67
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
It's a cautionary tale about the excesses of jingoist paranoia, and the folly of it all is that the more the film descends into somber liberal chest thumping, the less engrossing it becomes.
60
Salon - Charles Taylor
If The Siege frustrates anyone, it should be the moviegoers who turn up expecting the kind of clean resolution that action movies thrive on.
