The Siege - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Not often does a film age in relevance as this 1998 release than runs 112 minutes.Made before the 9/11 attacks its major faults are the degree of damage and over reaction caused by them.Thus 1 star off.However its slow deteriorating of our civil liberties sadly are coming through although not as stark or violently,but inevitably like the river that flows to the sea.The ending of the film shows a restoration of these values,sadly,that is not happening.The story is also sort of"Homeland"gone wild but still engrossing,manly dues to a real A+ cast headed by Denzel Washington,Annette Bening,Bruce Willis and Tony Shalhoub breath real life into this twisted terrorist in NYC film.Highly recommended.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.By the way,my old apartment building is in one scene !!!!

The secret US abduction of a suspected terrorist leads to a wave of terrorist attacks in New York that lead to the declaration of martial law.
