Once again I feel called upon to highlight an actor in a random movie. I attempted to do a profile of Carl Weathers in any movie he has been in, but that was 1) too cliched, 2) too easy to make fun of, 3) too difficult to find either a randomly good/fun movie (many view the Rocky movies as objectively good, and Predator truly is a classic).
No, today I have gone with yet another action movie in the C-movie Range. This time with that wonderful, cigarette-smoking Mormon, Katherine Heigl in Under Siege II: Dark Territory.
Yes, before she made the mistake of choosing med school over law school (c'mon wouldn't Black's Law have been a more entertaining show than Grey's Anatomy), she was Steven Seagal's niece!! The plot of the movie is Steven Seagal + Terrorists + train + some
type of satellite that blows things up + a secret, illegal nuclear reactor in the Pentagon. I am rather sad of myself that i actually remembered that much of the film's plot.Moving on, Steven plays America's favorite navy cook, while Heigl steals the show as his wisecracking niece. I think she gets tied up, and stealls the key to the bomb or something...
Anywho, Heigle is 17 in her fourth movie and really develops as an action star. It's so good to see an actress stick with one genre over the years. Under Siege 2 (the first one consisted of the same plot on a boat) really flowed naturally into her later roll in Knocked Up.
Alright, thats enough for today. Coming up next time, Samuel L. Jackson as a violin appraiser in the Red Violin.
Here's the Under Siege 2 trailer.......................in CZECH
