One of My Favorite Cheesy Movies

Under Seige 2: Dark Territory, the over the top sequel to Under Seige, is the perfect train movie for when you are home sick. I know that some people consider the first Under Seige to be the only decent Steven Seagal movie, but how can boat beat a train? The first movie is also trying to be good, Under Seige 2 is not good, it is fun. The movie includes Katherine Heigl from that early period when she played characters who cared about things other than shoes, and Steven Seagal singing a song that he wrote himself, "After the Train Has Gone".

The action takes place aboard the California Zephyr Grand Continental train that runs from Denver to LA through the Rocky Mountains. The mountains shown in the film are in Colorado, and the train was assembled by the now defunct Colorado Railcar Company.

You can rent the DVD from Netflix or you can rent it online from Amazon.
