Movie Reviews

ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliIt's a thinking person's thriller, where pyrotechnics give way to plot, character development supplants fight scenes, and adrenaline does not short-circuit intelligence.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranA political thriller with more plausibility -- and yes, more thrills -- than most.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanIt'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.
Dallas Observer - 7/10 by Andy KleinA political film in the form of a thriller, rather than a garden-variety potboiler gleefully helping itself to stock political tropes from the genre's grab bag.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Michael O'SullivanWhat a shame, therefore, that in its puritanical treatment of the only strong female character, the otherwise politically correct police story is blithely unaware of its own closet misogyny.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Gary DauphinAn intramural debate masquerading as an action movie.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertIn its clumsy way, it throws in comments now and then to show it knows the difference between Arab terrorists and American citizens.
Salon.com - 6/10 by Charles TaylorIf The Siege frustrates anyone, it should be the moviegoers who turn up expecting the kind of clean resolution that action movies thrive on.
Variety - 6/10 by Todd McCarthyA potentially provocative idea is played out to diminishing returns.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Elvis MitchellEdward Zwick's ultimately sedate thriller starts out with crisply efficient style and the potential for a much more involving story.
