Review of Fortress

Fortress (1992)
Pretty cool movie!!
26 March 2001
When I popped this into the DVD player I was not sure what to expect. I had heard mixed reviews where most of the people said that this movie was really bad. I saw the box, it looked pretty good, and it only cost $9.99. Was it worth it? You Bet! I was presently suprised. The movie turned out to be decent. Sure, it won't win any awards for a new plot or acting, but for what it is, it is good. I don't see why many people label this as pure trash. This is just a popcorn/ guys action movie. It is not for people who want an academy award winning plot. For an action movie, I enjoyed it,and I think that is all that matters. As long as you enjoy it. Christopher Lambert was very good as his action hero, but stiff self. If you are a fan of Lambert, or of scifi/prison movies, then this movie is worth it. If not, who knows, you still might enjoy it. Just don't expect oscar performances. I Don't think you will be dissapointed. 8.5/10 pretty good!!!
