TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Leofwine_draca You know you're deep in B-movie territory when you end up watching a rip-off of a rip-off. HIJACK is a Z-grade piece of entertainment starring action man Jeff Fahey in a plot that openly rips off UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY, itself an obvious DIE HARD clone relocated to a train. HIJACK copies that film's plot and even some scenes directly, like Fahey getting thrown off the train halfway through and having to find his way back on board. This time around the terrorist goons are after a senator on board the train and Fahey is the only guy to stop them.It's not a bad film per se, just one that's constrained by deficiencies of budget and a lack of creativity and imagination. The performances are typically wooden despite the appearance of a few familiar faces and Fahey looks good but doesn't deliver much in the way of charisma. The bad guys overact a bit but have zero presence. The action doesn't contain any skilled martial arts, just a couple of brawls and death by knife. Everything else looks cheap and derivative. Cast-wise, we get turns from '80s action star Brent Huff as the baddie, old time Frank McRae in support, and the great Ernie Hudson as the senator (and even his kid shows up). Patrick Kilpatrick plays almost exactly the same role as he did in UNDER SIEGE 2, while Robert Miano, star of the cult PHANTAMASGORIA video game, plays a SWAT leader. It's not very good, but B-movie fans might feel differently should they be in a forgiving mood.
MSHughes-1 On the other hand, why not just watch Under Siege 2 again and save yourself a job? There seemed a time - long, long ago, I know - when Jeff Fahey seemed to be going somewhere. It seemed as if he might be going to the same kind of place, say, Billy Zane was going. Unfortunately, they misjudged their stop and got off at Palookaville, where they have been resident ever since, hardly troubling the rest of us with their 'adventures'. And then, after so long - this! Does anyone else see the irony of a 'vehicle' for JF being... a hijacked train? This is even worse than the Pinter-penned drivel that was the remake of 'Sleuth'. Why take something good and regurgitate it as this kind of pap? Well, actors got to eat too - even if it is crow.
joefunsmith I found a lot to dislike about this movie. The characters are one-dimensional and unbelievable.Jeff Fahey plays an ATF agent who immediately gets into trouble with his commanding officer for being a head strong officer who refuses to play by the rules leading to his being relieved of his position. You know right from this beginning he will be the hero.The bad guys are a bunch of "right wing militia." The leader at one point explains, "Well, I don't care for the Federal government coming into our states and into our homes and taking away our freedoms bit by bit and taking away our right to bear arms. It's not the America God gave us. It's not the America I want to live in." This may very well be something a right wing militia member, intent on starting a revolution would say, but it is also something a libertarian, intent on following a principle of non-aggression -- one who believes in guns for defensive purposes only -- might say.The Senator's adviser played by Larry Manetti who is pegged early on as a weasel, pulls a classic weasel move, using a teenage girl as a human shield to protect him from the threat of gunfire.Most of the movie takes place on a train. Shockingly (not) there is a scene where Fahey walks on the top of the moving train.The nuclear bomb fits in a small briefcase. The smallest nukes known, with all peripherals needed are the size of a small refrigerator.All of this could have been excused a little if the movie had some sort of plot twist, excellent acting or memorable dialog.
Movie Nuttball The Last Siege is in My opinion a very good action movie with an unusual cast! Jeff Fahey, Ernie Hudson, Ernie Hudson Jr., Patrick Kilpatrick, Frank McRae, Beth Toussaint, and Brent Huff were all good in this movie. Brent Huff reminded Me a lot of Michael Wincott. Its something that Patrick Kilpatrick was in a similar movie called Under Siege 2: Dark Territory years before this was made. He even plays a similar character in this film and not to mention he is very good in the movie! I think he is an underrated actor. The music is very good in the movie, it has solid acting, action, directing, musical score, and everything else. If you liked Under Siege 2: Dark Territory and want to see another great film similar like it then The Last Siege is an awesome film to watch!
