1998 Film "The Siege" Discussion

[Big_Chief_Stove]

Has anyone else out there seen this movie?

Its a pre 9/11 story about Islamic terrorist sleeper cells in New York. Stars Denzel Washington as an FBI agent, with Tony Shalhoub from "Monk" fame as his Lebanese FBI partner. Bruce Willis plays an Army General....etc. anyways.

For those that have seen this movie, how creepily prophetic is it turning out to be? Things that transpired in that movie could very well happen in reality.

 

[Hardkore]

Good Movie. Very thought provoking

 

[Drake]

Denzel? Of course peeps has seen't it.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

I was thinking "what the fuck does this have to do with MMA?", but then I saw how long the video was. War Diaz!!

It was a smart movie that dealt realistically with a number of the issues involved.

It deserves better than to have been mostly forgotten over the last however many years.

I think people wanted to see Independence Day, the terrorist version, and they got a real movie and didn't know how to handle it.

i really want to participate in this conversation of the movie 'the siege' but sadly i havent seen it

sorry guys.

 

[Stargazer Rex]

It was good.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Fucking crazy. I was just searching for this movie on Netflix today. They don't have it on there. The movie is really good though. That FBI vs army scene is gold.

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

Misread. Thought we were talking Under Siege. Thought there would be Seagal anecdotes. At a minimum I thought there would be the topless girl from the cake. Left disappointed.

 

[Abezal]

ehh France kinda going through just that, Army on streets state of emergency.

Good movie.

 

[Kneepocalypse]

Why in Poland there were no terrorist atacks? Your opinions could be very interesting...

By the way... Movie was very good.

 

[YaGoof]

I thought we we're gonna talk about one of the best movies ever made.

Left disappointed...

Ive just been in Gdansk\Sopot, very Nice. It was my 7th trip to Poland actually. Love it.

Anyways, and the very short answer to your question is : No Islam. And lets keep it that way.

 

[Rav1nHunter]

Check Wrocław and Kraków. Wrocław for party and Kraków for beauty. ( I hate Wrocław as a polish citizen for few reasons but tourists love it )

I think terrorists dont give a shit about us also. We had something like 2 years ago a funny situation that polish citizen wanted to make bomb atack on parliament. It was so funny, because he was professor of Chemistry and just hated our goverment. Even funnier was evrybody was cheering for him

Situation here with goverment is unnacceptable.

 

[DiegoLunes]

Never heard of it.

Dont import any mass numbers of Muslims and you will be fine

I liked Wroclaw but alot of pink umbrellas ladies walking around, but would def. go back. But my favorite city would be Warszaw, Ive been there both winter and summer. Loved the beer and the women, even though some had some attitude lol

Anyways, back here in Norway, we have alot of Polish people. They sure do love beer and Fishing, just like me
