 `Siege' Bombs Washington and Willis go down in Edward Zwick's muddled thriller
Edward Zwick previously directed Denzel Washington in ``Glory,'' for which Washington won an Academy Award, and ``Courage Under Fire,'' which is Washington's best film.
The problem is the script, written by Lawrence Wright and rewritten by Zwick and Menno Meyjes.
Zwick is going for a ripped-from-to day's-headlines feel, but the effort is a bit too strenuous.

 The DVD Journal: Glory: Special Edition
Edward Zwick's 1989 film Glory is a stunning example of a Hollywood War Movie and could, in fact, be held up as an example of how good the genre can be.
On the other hand, his reliance on fog machines and smoke to create ambience is so overdone that one would think that the United States in 1863 was swathed in a perpetual London-like fog (Zwick admits in the director's commentary that he used fog machines to cover the skies when the weather was nice).
The microcosm of Black actors, characters who represent the soldiers, is historically less-than-accurate (the vast majority of Blacks who volunteered to fight for the North were educated, free men, not runaway slaves or fieldhands) but the performances are exemplary.

 Review: The Siege   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
It's not hard to argue that Edward Zwick is one of the best Hollywood film makers toiling in obscurity.
Typically, this premise is used as a springboard for an action adventure flick -- an opportunity for Steven Seagal to use his martial arts, George Clooney to flash his pearly whites, or 007 to save the world.
Zwick uses every element at his command -- fine performances, effective special effects, substantial location shooting, and a well-written script -- to craft a compelling movie that keeps the audience in thrall.

 The Siege . Newcity Chicago . 11-09-98
Ed Zwick is one of the more versatile craftsmen working today, shifting from television ("thirtysomething," "My So-Called Life") to film ("About Last Night," "Glory") with equal aplomb.
Working with master cinematographer Roger Deakins, Zwick finds the widescreen framing and subtle detailing that suggest the polyglot character of a contemporary metropolis, while remaining attentive to mood and portent.
The clichŽ view of Zwick is that he wants to alternate social issue films with television that pores over the sociology of his peers, but he believes he's been able to grow past that.

 The Siege . Metro Pulse . 11-16-98
In The Siege, the latest movie from director Edward Zwick, terrorism has come to New York City, not just for a wild weekend, but to stay for the season.
While the lessons Zwick would teach us—that the Constitution and the rights it secures for us are worth some suffering—are good ones, and a welcome antidote to the implied fascism of most action movies, they make for a glum and overbearing film.
Ultimately, the reduction of ambiguous characters into more easily managed categories of good and evil and the simplification of a complex situation to a clear morality tale, are the tools of the propagandist.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Glory -- Edward Zwick - DVD - Wide Screen / Pan & Scan
Edward Zwick, Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman
All the acting is great, for that matter, but ultimately Glory's effectiveness is determined by director Edward Zwick (Courage Under Fire), who expertly balances the need for verisimilitude with the demands of cinematic storytelling.
He recreates the era, the events, and the attitudes with remarkable fidelity -- in part by relying on the real-life Shaw's diaries -- and stages his harrowing battle scenes with both panoramic sweep and surgical precision.

Director Ed Zwick and Brad Pitt (on one track) inject a lot of humor into their stories on dealing with the film's production.
Directed by Edward Zwick, the film works because things never get out of hand, too melodramatic, or over the top (like some recent epic/romance movies).
Hopkins' performance loses subtlety towards the end, and Brad Pitt is sometimes too expressionless, but Aidan Quinn never wavers, and Henry Thomas displays the quality of innocence which led to Spielberg casting him as the star of E.T. as a boy actor.
