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?

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. Go to Full Review Meredith Jill Brown Upcoming Horror Movies 07/17/2025

Neither lead makes much of an impression, so it's left to Chad Michael Murray's borderline psychotic villain to take the wheel and give the drama some momentum. Go to Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat 01/27/2022

For an action film about U.S. muscle, Fortress sure is weak -- but it does have some unexpected entertainment value. Go to Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day 12/23/2021

Chet W. @RT43675629 Feb 21 It was ok , there was action and good story line but boy you can tell Bruce Willis was suffering from from his mental problems. It seems like they hurried up and pumped out a bunch of movies before he couldn’t act no more. He’ll always be my favorite actor . See more Sam W @RT36911481 07/26/2025 One of Bruce Willis’ ‘aphasia’ movies, and it shows. It has a different take and setting for a mediocre lockdown/revenge story but the incompetence of everyone and everything defies belief, as does the overuse of shoddy special effects and drumming background music which I assume was intended to build suspense. Weak acting, cheap looking, and stilted cheesy dialogue, especially from Willis who looked to be just reading his lines. See more susie m @RT49260299 06/24/2025 This is one of the worst cheap movies Iv ever seen.Bruce Willis has only dumb one liner response to everything. I love the dorky girl running someone grabs her shirt, it falls off to show her boobs. Watching this for free and it’s not worth it.😊set look plastic. All around really crappy movie. See more Timothy E @Tnice17 04/04/2025 What happened to Bruce Willis. This movie is not like him. See more Rick M @RT28141542 02/03/2025 Pathetic in every way and at every level. This potty mouth absolute zero has no real plot, makes no sense, and has absolutely no value whatsoever. A total piece of crap. See more Marek C @RT12126948 12/29/2024 I watched about 20 minutes into this. This wasn't enough to tell whether this is an awful action movie or an awful parody thereof. See more Read all reviews
