Another old action hero going down the drain. Just like Nicholas Cage, now Bruce Willis seems to appear only in cheap and unoriginal B-movies. His acting has always been woody and fitted the hard boiled action hero stereotype. For that reason, I'm not even able to judge his performance here. He just follows the same pattern, although with less energy and conviction. Maybe he feels stuck in a rut and doesn't know how to get out of it at this point in his "career"? Maybe he has gambling debts with the mafia he's desperate to settle? A costly divorce? Why anyone would want to work (I can't say 'act') in this sort of train wreck film is beyond me. The female co-star Kelly Greyson...I don't know her....is this her first movie? It certainly seems so from the way she acts. Cringeworthy at best. There are just too many bad things to say about this and I've wasted enough time already talking about it. So, unless you have masochistic tendencies, keep your mental sanity and avoid this garbage.

Barely watchable Z-grade action movie, with terrible acting, terrible editing, terrible direction, terrible everything. From the bad costumes to the bad botox on every actress. Silly plot, terrible script, very long run time. Everything about this is bad with the notable exception of the "Sargent Blain" character. Anyway, do yourself a favour and skip this. Unless you wanna see yet another episode in the saga "How Bruce Willis Became the New Steven Seagal", 'cause that's what this is becoming, after so many crappy movies this guy puts his face and name on...

About a decade ago Bruce Willis headlined RETIRED EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (2010), a weird mix of comedy and action, and was seriously criticised. That movie was bad, yet 10 times better than FORTRESS (2021). There is really no need to describe how poor this movie is. At around 3 minutes before the end, however, the villain says: "Please save my wife," then a long painful/guilty look, "She suffers enough for my sins." Wow. Never heard that sort of kind words in this sort of lousy works. I added one star in my rating because of it.

Only someone who knows nature and cinema by nature can make such a film. If our measure for goodness or badness of a movie is cinema, this is a good film. The other things are details.

Really bad. Worse than I expected. Bad action, bad script, comical dialogue, bad cinematography just all lame and bad and boring If I could give it a zero star I would. Waste of time really.

This movie was so bad I don't even know where to start... the over acting, the terrible one liners, the dialogue, the script, Bruce's froggy voice, it all sucks. I have no idea why this movie was ever made and no question, its not even worth a few minutes of your time. I love a good "cheesy" flick once in a while but crikey this was bad. Put it this way Hudson Hawk is better than this thing... It's like the cast was trying to make a bad movie or something... Its so bad even Nicolas Cage and John travolta passed it up... I don't know what else to say other than this flick is nothing more than another warm moist turd... Flush.

Man oh man. This one is BAD. Willis does not care anymore. Perhaps it wasnt enough money, he was constipated, or having a stroke. His acting is plain. Barely moves around, and speaks without emotion, like reciting lines in a play you just dont want to appear. Action scenes are so shaky, that you cant even figure out whats going on. And the characters ? Wow. The worst offender, Ken, is so annoying that youll be dissapointed that he doesnt get killed. Bruce Willis is the new Steven Seagal. Barely moves, barely acts, and we are supposed to believe he is the only one who can save them all. I kind of like some cringeworthy movies. But this one, is just BAD. (and there is a sequel coming.. :S)

The story is great and so are the acting of everyone involved. I realize that this is a low budget movie, so I have to rate based on what little money they had to make this movie and not try to compare with a blockbuster movie. So, for what it is, this movie is excellent and I loved the acting of every actor in it. It' is worth to watch.
