Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Leofwine_draca DIPLOMATIC SIEGE is a low rent thriller that rounds up a half-decent cast and throws them into a clichéd and predictable storyline involving some evil Serbian terrorists who take over the US embassy in Romania and proceed to issue various demands else the hostages will be executed. Of course, it's up the usual renegade heroes who are trapped on the inside to find a way to defeat their enemy...Despite this being a B-movie in every respect, it's actually quite enjoyable with strong, clear choreography and crisp direction from Gustavo Graef Marino. Okay, the script was never going to win any awards for originality, but there's a brisk pace that doesn't let up and some fun moments for the known actors. There are some well-mounted shoot-outs with machine guns and the like but our heroes spend the movie evading the enemy rather than engaging, so DIE HARD it ain't.Headlining the cast is Peter Weller (ROBOCOP), putting in a typically assured performance, and cast opposite him is Daryl Hannah, shortly before Tarantino cast her in KILL BILL. The third known face is Tom Berenger, sleepwalking through a stereotypically tough military role, although cult fans may spot an aged Brion James lower down as a stuffy US general. DIPLOMATIC SIEGE is only average at best but as B-movies go it isn't too bad at all.

John Smith A very lame plot based on political thinking of the late 90s, that paints serbs as the bad guys...why they picked romainia for the "location of the embassy nuke" is beyond me since there was at one point an American embassy in yugoslaia and should have had a nuke as well...no matter. every aspect of the movie made it a poorly made b movie. i have to mention, when reading some reviews, i was more appalled by some of those than i was by this movie. a great example is the review "Beware 'low cost production' countries" written by "davidshort10"...i his review he says "..(by the way, Romania was not part of the Warsaw Pact..", but of course anyone who knows anything about the warsaw pact knows that romania was a proud member of that pact. another statement (made in 2006), "..and oh by the way Croatia is not a UN member country)", although crotia has been a member of the UN since 1992. you can watch the movie for free online, so you have nothing to lose but time.

lacrescenta I cringed while viewing this movie. Parts of it were OK (I enjoyed the creative use of "gadgets") but for the most part, it STUNK.I was embarrassed for Peter Weller and Darryl Hannah, who (in my opinion) had the hardest burden--to try to make do with horrible dialog, horrible story. Horrible, horrible, horrible. I cringed at their grossly inappropriate romantic trysts (time and place, people! There is a terrorist attack, you morons!). Oh my gosh. How horrible.Tom Berenger's part was significantly less embarassing--at least his character was consistent and didn't behave like a moron at times. But Berenger was wasted in this rather regrettable film.I like Weller, Hannah and Berenger, and usually enjoy what they do. But this film could not be remotely redeemed by their presence. It was simply a rotten movie.

swordfish-1 Well it may have very foolish and borried moments but it's not so bad after all. The theme of the movie is pretty interesting and it has some good scenes. But the script is terrible. There are also a lot of fiction moments that make you get crazy. What were the director and producers thinking about that scene with lasers or the one they almost made love.I would give a 5 from 10 to this movie.
