THE SIEGE(1998)


Extremely intense movie about terrorism in the US, specifically
Brooklyn! There are several attacks there and Denzel Washington
plays an FBI agent out to stop them, along with Bruce Willis
who plays an over-the-top Army general placed in command there
by the president! I don't usually like this kind of movie, but
this one has a message! Also here is Tony Shalhoub, Annette
Bening and Mark Valley! B+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

This is a really good movie. When watched today by those
born from the late 90s onward it might seem unremarkable,
but considering when it was made it is almost prophetic
of what we see today with Muslim extremists the world over.
Denzel Washington is his usual brilliant self but all the
other cast are also really good. Annette Bening is the best
I have ever seen her and I hope this is a movie she is proud
of because she carries her part really well. Apparently this
movie did badly at the box office but really well on DVD. This
is most likely due to political correctness that began to take
hold around the time of the movies release.

Over all this is a really good thriller. - nicholls_les
