In this dazzling action cyber-thriller, Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction) plays Robert, a retired CIA agent living at a secret resort in the woods. One day, his estranged son drives to the camp for a visit -- but he's followed by Robert's old nemesis, Balzary (Chad Michael Murray, "One Tree Hill"). As the site is besieged by Balzary's attack squad, father and son retreat to a high-tech bunker. But are its steel walls and advanced weapons powerful enough to match Balzary's bloodthirsty plans for revenge?

Probably the worst acting and direction I've seen Bruce Willis work under. The overall story is pretty interesting, but the performances and the writing is worse the the Star Wars sequels. If you're a die hard (lol) Bruce Willis fan, add this one to your collection, but it's not worth watching.

The movie could have been called "Bomb Shelter". The combat readiness and coordination among security personnel is almost non existent. Why is the "Fortress" so far from where they live, requiring a long journey through a jungle to get to it???

This is absolute garbage. How this stuff gets made is beyond comprehension. Cheap, nasty, predictable, Willis at the bottom of the dung heap with this one.

It's a shame that Bruce Willis fell to doing all these terrible direct to DVD quality movies. You can tell he's never really present on the same set as anyone because of all the cutaways. The plot is incomprehensible and the action is very dull for what little there is of it.

At onetime, Bruce Willis's presence boosted a small movie; lately, he's a liability. "It's an emergency alert," Willis's ex-C.I.A. agent yawns to his estranged son as though sirens mean the postman is at the door.

Fortress moves at a slick pace, and its action scenes are most thrilling.

For an action film about U.S. muscle, Fortress sure is weak -- but it does have some unexpected entertainment value.

If you thought hearing about the details of cryptocurrency was painful in real life, wait until it's processed through Horsnail's deathly dull screenplay, which tries to turn arguments about digital wallets into nail-biting cinema.
