THE SIEGE

FOX

RELEASED 8 January 1999

Denzel Washington plays ‘Feebie’ Anthony Hubbard investigating a group of terrorists bombing New York City targets. When his efforts fail to stop the escalating carnage the US Army is called in. What starts off as a tense thriller descends into cliched dialogue and a disappointingly lacklustre finale. Annette Bening (Mrs Warren Beatty) and Bruce Willis join Denzel for the hokum.
