I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Better Late Then Never

I saw the first "Fortress" movie years ago, and while most of my memories of the movie have long faded, I still remember it being pretty decent for what it was. Certainly better than this sequel. I'll admit the movie isn't totally bad. Some of the action sequences aren't badly handled, there is a good injection of some welcome nudity, and director Geoff Murphy manages to keep the movie moving quickly enough from scene to scene to ALMOST managing to obscure the fact that there isn't a terrible amount of plot on display. The movie is hampered also by Christopher Lambert's trademark bland performance, with him sometimes mumbling his words so softly that it's hard to make out what he's saying. Speaking of the cast, cult actress Pam Grier is unfortunately wasted in a nothing role. A bigger problem, however, is the often cheapjack nature of the enterprise. Even by film standards of the year 2000, the sets and the special effects look straight out of a low budget TV show of the era. This may most of all explain why despite the fact the movie was picked up by a major Hollywood distributor, they dumped it straight to video in North America. Despite all these problems, I will give the movie this: It's one of the finest movies from Luxembourg I have seen.

Fortress 2: Re-Entry is actually a good sequel, it's nice to see Chirstopher Lambert playing as John Brennick again. The violence from the first film isn't in this one as much but it's still there in parts.The idea of having a Fortress in space than underground was clever and adds something new. The prison director isn't as sinister as Poe in the first film but he is good.The special effects were OK and the prison looked good. Another interesting thing was instead of having a device that causes pain in the body we have a camera that allows the prison director to monitor them and stop them from escaping. But for John and a few other prisoners they can out smart this device and use a way to escape. Fortress 2 is a good sequel and sci-fi movie.

Christopher Lambert; the king of newer B-movies. The guy has been in every(I think) Highlander movie so far, despite the fact that only the first was particularly popular. He's done so many B-movies that one has to wonder if he is aware that the films are bad and doesn't care, or if he really doesn't realize their quality(or, rather, lack thereof). Here, he returns in a sequel to the fairly low-budget B-movie action-science fiction flick, Fortress. In the first one, the prison was huge, and underneath the ground. Here, it's... well, it's still huge, but this time, it's in outer space. I guess the writer thought, hey, the first time, it was underneath the ground... the only place that could be worse than that would be outer space. I hope he's right... I surely do, because if he is, maybe we won't see anymore half-cooked action-sci-fi flicks like this. Lambert portrays the exact same character, which I suppose is good, as he was a decent character in the first. A few somewhat big names also join the cast, most noticeably Pam Grier. The cast of characters from the first are pretty much remade(apart from Lambert himself), meaning that the new cast pretty much just fills the shoes of the characters from the first(anyone who knows how the first ended knows why). Unfortunately, that means that the film seems more like an overblown remake with the same guy portraying the lead, rather than a sequel. The hacker from the first(who was a neurotic, nervous guy, beautifully portrayed by great horror-talent, Jeffrey Combs) is replaced by an annoying black-guy stereotype. The female lead is replaced by a girl from the resistance(which Lambert's character is said to be a member of as well... odd... I don't remember that from the first... does that mean he joined the resistance after he got a kid? Who'd do that?), instead of his wife as it was in the first... apparently mainly because the scriptwriter couldn't find a good way to capture both Lambert and the wife-character, without capturing the kid. The Men-Tel prison commander(who was played by the cool bad-guy actor, Kurtwood Smith, from RoboCop fame) is now an annoying wimp with a ridiculous British accent that really gets on your nerves(as opposed to the cool Smith, who was a menacing and threatening presence). The plot is a rehash of the first. The pacing isn't particularly good. The very scenes in the movie seems to be(for the most part) remakes of the scenes of the original(talk about lack of originality...) and the action is mostly just rehashes of the first, just made a little less exciting(remember those way-cool machine guns with three barrels in the first? They're replaced with dull futuristic-looking stick-stun-guns). The special effects are decent at best. The script is a weak rehash of the first, with a few added sub-plots, none of which being particularly good... most of them are just there to keep the film going, or put it an action scene, in order to distract the audience from the poor writing. The dialog is pretty bad, with one or two exceptions. All in all, the film is just a tame rehash of everything the first was(which isn't even a lot). Somebody took the first film, said, "hey, this is popular... but it's not very good... how about if we try to do something of even lesser quality and see if people will like it?" Probably writer/producer/actor John Flock, who, going by the plot and the writing of this film, really is as dumb as he looks. I recommend this only to huge fans of the first Fortress, Lambert or B-movies. Everyone else; don't bother. There's a million better ways to spend 90 minutes, and there's at least as many reasons not to see this film. 5/10

Well well well, words simply can't describe just how s**t this film really is. tragic? hold on, i need a thesaurus. appalling, awful, bad, calamitous, dire, dreadful, grim, lamentable, painful, pathetic, pitiful, terrible, wretched.... and that's just a few. I totally didn't understand how they used the retarded guy to gain entry into the office. he remembered the tones of the numbers pressed, but surely a secure system would only have one tone for every key, it ain't no bloody telephone. some funny bits with the computer annoyingly naive computer system. and the nudity, well it always helps. and the stereotypical funny black dude who always swears was kinda funny, but that's only cos i like those kind of characters. and the bit with the cockroach going into the office, oh my... to think that woman was in jackie brown.....like the previous comment, she needs a new agent, not only a chat with her current one.one of those films worth seeing because it is just so bad!!!
