The Siege
1998
***
Director: Edward Zwick
Cast: Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis, Annette Bening, Tony Shalhoub
An FBI agent investigates a series of terrorist attacks on the U.S. soil, which result in the President declaring martial law. Post-9/11 the first half of this captivating drama seems incredibly realistic. Sadly the film falls apart in the second half when it concentrates on a power struggle between the agent and a U.S. Army Colonel.
