I started writing this review and ended up starting a whole essay about terrorism, the reactions to terrorism, and of course what happened in September of 2001, but then realized that I ended up not talking about the movie at all, so...I'll try and keep this short and brief.

The Siege is about extreme terrorist attacks in New York pre-9/11, and if that brings back stuff you rather not relive, stay away. If that's not the case you'll be treated to one of the better movies about the topic. Especially the reactions of law enforcement, the government, and the common man in the street, to attacks such as this. The acting borders on excellent, and you are on the edge of your seat throughout. However...it derails somewhat at the end. You'll know what I mean when you watch it.

The Siege is worth the watch, but be aware, it's absolutely not perfect. Enjoy the good acting, but take it for what it is and don't put too much into it.
