Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Just about distinguishable from several dozen predecessors in the same apocalyptic vein.

rotten:
[Benning] is the only fresh, compelling character in the film.

fresh:
The Siege is many things at once: tense, exciting, disturbing, and thought provoking.
– James Berardinelli,

fresh:
Even at its most unbelievable, The Siege has the performances of Washington and Bening to fall back on, and a theme that understands that what's difficult is not choosing right from wrong but 'choosing the wrong that's more right.'

rotten:
It's difficult to sustain a responsible subtext when you're delivering the jolts required to keep butts in the seats.
– Peter Travers,
