Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan star in You've Got Mail®

<body><p>IN SHORT: Cranky liked it.</p> <p>Hollywood's obsession with destroying New York continues with a good popcorn flick called The Siege. The fun is all in the star power onscreen and while the suspense level doesn't reach the "can't eat the popcorn" stage, it's a pretty good ride. </p> <p>The Siege pulls its background story out of real events and rumors that won't die: have Americans kidnaped terrorist suspects to bring them into US territory and jurisdiction? The Siege opens with such a heist, of an Iraqi Sheik named Ahmed Bin Talal. Second question: What if the terrorists were organized enough, and financed well enough to bring the battle to our cities, as they have in Athens and other European cities? </p></body>
