Dumb "remake" of Die Hard on a train. Hilariously stupid plot, but unintentionally very funny and full of gung ho action scenes. Good fun anyway!

George Segal is gonna conquer some bad guys on a train, who want to destroy the world. YEAH!

The best B-movies are those which originally were meant to be taken seriously. This is one of those. Everything is ridiculous about it: the acting is mediocre and the dialogues the characters have to say are incredibly dumb, yet unintentionally very funny. Let's not forget the story. Ah, yes the story, I just cant stop laughing right now, having difficulty concentrating on writing this review, because the story is (unintentionally) THAT hilarious, that it becomes enjoyable again. Laughing my head off right now...

HOWEVER,.... I still do like this movie very much, because the original spirit of "Die Hard", which is the mother of ALL action movies, the spirit of that very same classic, is present as well in Siege 2: namely 1 guy who is gonna conquer all the bad guys. There is something unmistakably attractive and exhilarating about being THE good guy who is gonna come to the rescue. I love this sequal of Siege 2 more than I do the original. Honestly, there is something about the victorious mood of this picture that I really like. Or maybe I just like action on trains...

A powerful pounding glorious soundtrack is constantly pumping up the scenes, even if George Segal is only walking into a toilet. I love it, I would love to hear marching music every time I went to the toilet. It would make life a lot more fun.

Siege 2 really is a (hilariously) bad copy of Die Hard, only set on a train this time. But it is still lots of good fun, IF one doesnt make the mistake by taking this movie seriously. Expect a B-movie and enjoy the ride...
