Fortress

"Fortress" is a movie that will bore you to death. No really, I do not understand what Bruce is doing here. After watching his previous flops ("Survive the game", "Apex", "Hard Kill" etc.) Too many bad movies to write down here. Bruce Willis has had a rewarding career as a butt-kicking action star from his days in the 'Die-Hard' Franchise. However, as age catches up with him, he can't quite move the way he used to, and he seems to be losing his flair as the projects he has been landing latest aren't the Box office kind of titles. All his latest movies are not worth watching. I try to understand but it seems that he lost his appetite for acting. Is he trying to set the world record for acting bad in every new movie featuring Bruce? I don´t get it. This was only part one, so two more to come as it is apparently a Trilogy. Aren´t we lucky? But just maybe part 2 and 3 will be so good that we forget all the recent films with Bruce. Also when he speaks, he lost his tonality. We have to wait 66 minutes before we hear Bruce with his acting voice. But by then the movie is over. The combat scenes with the sexy girls are ridiculous but sometimes fun to watch. The storyline is better than his recent movies, not his acting. For me there was one surprise. Outstanding acting from Michael Sirow, who plays Ken Blain. One of the US Special forces who is befriended with Robert (Bruce Willis). Michael Sirow also plays in "Survive the game", just like Chad Michael Murray (Balzary). The only difference is that Michael has something extra to give to the audience. Chad´s acting is consistent, meaning he cannot act better given the cast and the plot / storyline to work with. Overall a 4/10 which is twice as high as I rated Bruce his last movies. If you are a Bruce Willis fan, you might enjoy this movie. But if you are a "Die Hard" fan, you will not. No punch lines, no funny quotes, nothing but emptiness.

It's genuinely sad to see an Actor who once helmed some of the best films in the 80's and 90's, become such pathetic mess. He clearly has no care for his own reputation anymore.

I feel bad for the other actor's and crew, who try to put in their best effort and still believe they will get further in the industry by including such a lazy, money grabbing and egotistical 'famous' face on the cover of the film they are in.

It is no secret Willis has entered into the phase of his career doing 1 day's work with most minimum amount of screentime and actual work for directors that only get him into the film just so it marginally stands out by making seem like the film's true lead, to recieve slight profit and break even and he get's his 1 million, and the director can churn out the next one. A win-win for them both, however staining every single other crew member in the process, forcing them to be in the same cycle he is.

He has lost faith with nearly every friend he had in the industry, delivers lines like he is a wooden board and hasn't got even ounce of pride in his work whatsoever. He truly is the worst of them and needs to find another career path.

Problem is, every Director he has ever worked with (bar M. Night Shyamalan who gave him another shot in 'Glass') due to his conduct and ego making him be difficult to work with, made them enemies and apart from his current low budget buddies that are in it to milk his name for all it's worth until he becomes one of the world's worst fall from grace stories in hollywood, there is nothing to redeem him now in the eye's of anyone who can have faith in him to lead a blockbuster ever again. It's obvious he can't be bothered anymore to truly put anything into his work except the bare minimum and just want's his cool million to continue his cushy lifestyle with 0% effort, until the next day of 'work', repeating the cycle over and over. 7 Films in 2021 is all you need to know...

This isn't Cinema.

This is a sad, pathetic and tired old hustle.

0/10.

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)

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.

The girl was hot, that's all I got. Actually, the production values were good, great camera work BUT so boring. A paint by numbers and Willis is terrible. He looks bored. He reads his lines stone face. There are scenes (like the one with his son) where they aren't in the same frame the whole time, like they filmed the scene separately and put it together later. They leave it open to a sequel, please no. When 90210 stars are your leads with Bruce "any script" Willis, you know it is going to be a short ride to nowhere.
