Review of Fortress

Fortress (1992)
7/10
Great Action Nostalgia
24 January 2024
Will not win any awards but is a fairly compelling mid-budget (think universal soldier level) action film with a (very) surprising anti-privatisation message that rings more bells now than it would have on release in 1991.

Goodies are good, babbles are bad and the escape plan is fun, I can actually see parts that are borrowed by better films like Guardians of the Galaxy.

The final 15 minutes is a total let down but feels tacked on rather than integral.

Lovers of late 80s early 90s sci-fi action should really enjoy this film. If you don't like the genre...well you won't even be reading this, never mind contemplating the movie.

A totally diverting hour and a bit.
