This. Crap. Should. Be. Burned.

There is NOTHING to recommend this movie. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE IN THIS MOVIE? Was this meant as a joke? I mean, think of anything bad you've ever seen, then put Bruce Willis in it and there you go. CRAP with Bruce Willis.

I am guessing he's paying for Demi's toyboy and really needs the money. That HAS to be the only explanation he made this movie. Maybe he lost a bet that he couldn't make a worse movie then the worst one ever made and decided, after reading the "script" (you have to wonder if there was a script for this or did the "actors" just say whatever came to mind?) that he could make the worst movie ever made and still walk away with a paycheck?

DO. NOT. WATCH. THIS. GARBAGE.

Welcome fellow subscribers to our next monthly installment of "Brucey's Monthly Crappy Movies".

From our last month's installment of "Survive the Game", nothing has really changed in Fortress.

In summary, Brucey's performances keep getting worse movie after movie. Again we have his smirking monotonic lines, only louder in this one. This guy is moving backwards in time with any acting skills or ability. Stay home Brucey, please retire. He was the worst I've seen in a long time in this one. For no reason, he's angry and talking loud. None of the other actor's performances were standout, and comparing even the many no-name actors, they were more convincing than Brucey.

The stories premise was interesting by newb writer (only 2nd writing credit) Alan Horsnail, (who also wrote "Midnight in the Switchgrass", of which I actually really enjoyed), but the screenplay was riddled with holes and some of the dialogue was cringeworthy. Some of the garbage that came out of Brucey's mouth will have you say "huh?" or my heading. Any attempts at humor were also cringe.

But were I once again was surprised, is that this horribly directed mess was from a seasoned director, James Cullen Bressack, who seems to direct most of Brucey's flops. Again in this mess, he gives us choppy blurred action sequences and horrible camera work. Did he even direct his cast? A 5th grader could've directed better. There is absolutely no excuse from anyone that has 43 directorial credits giving us this garbage over and over again. It's seems Bressack learns nothing from all his previous flops. Maybe take a break and go to film school? Funny as well, I saw Emile Hirsch and Randall Emmett's names in the closing credits as writers, but nowhere to be seen on this site. I'm guessing they deleted their names out of embarrassment.

The cinematography was decent, and the score was typical B-grade cheese. The pacing was very slow, that even at 99 mins, it felt much longer. There was just too much filler and very little substance. It's a very generous 3/10, mainly all going to Kelly Greyson, who's smokeshow bod woke me up every time she appeared on screen when I was dozing off from boredom.

Bruce Willis and his recent films became the trade mark of cheep trash filmography. I stopped watching this after 20 minutes. The man must have serious financial problems, participating over and over in cheep and bad films. Not even for free this one. What a shame.

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.

Given that we now know he has dementia/ mental impairment, it's a shame Bruce Willis was allowed to act in this film. It was sad to see him perform in this film, but this isn't Willis acting. This was a sick person who is no longer himself.

The rest of the film was a low budget disaster. Bad acting, cheesy plot with holes like Swiss cheese. It's awful. The fact that a secure compound is breeched and people are walking around like it's a picnic is just awful. A base under attack and everyone is just hanging out as they get shot. Just goofy and totally unbelievable. A military installation and no backups coming in. No overwhelming force called in to repel a little group of insurgents. Just bad. The film in no way resembles real life. It's so bad it's almost funny.
