Steven Seagal Collection [Under Siege 1-2/Hard To Kill/Above The Law/Executive Decision] [Blu-ray]

Execellent

Marvellous entertainment package with the price that is right as well. Any of Steven's movies are worth buying and with this group are some of his finest, now to mention them they are Under Siege 1-2, Hard to kill, NICO; Above the Law and Executive Decision all great movies, If you haven't seen or heard of them, where the hell have you been. A little bit of each title, Under Siege 1 is a masterpiece with a marvellous cast and storyline that you should not miss it, Under Siege 2 I was a bit disappointed with this one as he was on a train and I would have preferred him on another ship as the first one, would have been better, but that is only my opinion, still storyline is great and marvellous acting from all. Hard to kill is another masterpiece with him gunned down and put into a coma for 7 years and now his awake and is set on revenge with an aid of a nurse he leaves the hospital under her care, No one is safe now. Next one NICO; Above the Law I was taken in truly with this one and enjoyed it so much I just had to have it in my collection, Now the last Executive Decision Steven was only in this one for a short time but Kurt Russell carried it through to make it tops. I have decided that they are all rated A grade plus for the full on action and differences in all movies mentioned in this collection and if you want to start your library of I would start with these. Get ready for a wonderful night of entertainment get comfortable with your feet up and retire to your favourite chair, for hours of fast action with twist and turns (that we are not capable of) fabulous movies. Oh don't forget the most important thing for the night that is the popcorn. Enjoy!

An OK collection for Seagal fans, featuring I suppose his two best-known films, Under Siege and under Siege II and worth purchasing at the current price of a tenner just for these two movies alone. Picture quality is not great for these two films however, so if you have these on DVD already, and are not particularly interested in the other offerings, then perhaps avoid. I found it a strange decision to include "Executive Decision" in the collection, as Seagal is only on screen for a few minutes of the film before being killed (mind you he still manages to take out a few baddies before his untimely demise). This is more a Kurt Russell film, and while a decent enough action movie in its own right it's odd (to me) that its included here.

“Steven Seagal Collection” bluray (5 movies, released 2012). I thought I’d leave a review to confirm the uncut status of these movies, as this info wasn’t that easy to find. I bought this set to replace my import dvd’s (as the UK dvds were cut). “Nico/Above The Law”, “Hard To Kill”, “Under Siege” and “Under Siege 2” are all uncut in this bluray set (same as uncut US R-Rated versions). “Executive Decision” has had the UK previously cut violence added back in, but has distributor cuts (Warner Bros from 2011) on bluray to remove some of the terrorist related scenes (e.g. references m/showing the quran/praying), but this doesn’t take anything away from the movie. Overall, 5 great movies in their uncut glory on bluray!

A Great Release, A Great Bargain, The Very Best Of Seagal & Executive Decision. Above The Law Benefits The Most From The Blu-Ray Treatment, With It's Fantastic HD Transfer In Both Audio & Picture, While Still Obtaining The Grainy 80's Look Which Works Excellently. The Other Four Films However Work With 1080p Transfer But In Video Only & Sadly Not Audio. Looking Past This, What We Have Is A Great Bargain & One That Shouldn't Be Past Up On. Especially As It Contains The Only Blu-Ray Release Of Hard To Kill, Which As Of Yet Has Not Been Released Separately On Blu-Ray In The UK.

Well good films uncut so showed everything

This appears to be the only official blu-ray release of Under Siege 1 & 2 in the UK, and the set represents a bit of a bargain (at time of writing the 5 film box set is only £13.50 on Amazon)so it is a must buy for English Seagal fans like myself. It's a great shame then, that Warner Brothers have lavished absolute zero love onto these films and as such the entire set feels like little more than a cash in. Why? ... When I unwrapped the set I was really surprised to discover that both Under Siege 1 and 2 have only Dolby Digital sound tracks, yep no HD soundtracks to be had here for either of the two most important films in the set. Extremely disappointing. My Yamaha HD surround amp did make a nice job of these non-HD Dolby Digital sources on the 'Siege' movies, creating a nice sound field. Particularly noticeable in the first film. Gary Chang's atmospheric and percussive score filled the room, bullets whooshed and zipped by and helicopters thudded across the sound field. Thanks Yamaha, no thanks Warner, this was good but could have been so much more with the deserved attention from the studio. The picture quality of Under Siege is patchy,some scenes looking beautiful in HD, with lovely sharpness and nice rendering of film grain. Unfortunately many scenes (particularly the darker scenes) are noisy and soft. the picture quality of Under Siege 2 is more consistent, it's acceptable, but very soft by today's standards and only a moderate upgrade from the DVD. Probably the best looking and sounding film in the set is Nico/Above The Law. The picture quality is consistent, with the old 80's film grain really nicely rendered. That twangy guitar soundtrack has also never sounded better than on the Dolby True HD mix found here. Hard To Kill doesn't look too bad either. Poor old Seagal, of all the 80-90's Action Greats his career has really gone down the toilet, maybe that's why the Studio can't really be bothered with his back catalogue. However, for less than 15 quid this set still represents good value for fans of the big man's glory days, just don't expect to be blown away. Now, get ma pies out the oven!!

Very good
