You obviously didn't read the New Yorker review very closely.  It was
by no means a positive review:

"The Siege" offers an improbable
set of circumstances and then gets all hot under the collar as it
rejects the preposterous situation that it has set up for itself. The
filmmakers peddle fear and then try to claim the moral high ground;
the treatment is foolish, confused, and borderline irresponsible.
