Fortress

I've always had a soft spot for Christopher Lambert but even I'll admit he sure makes some stinkers. This isn't quite one of them but if it were not for director Stuart Gordon and some great supporting cast it could have been. The plot is of no import here....what is are the actors working with him. Jeffrey Combs in a pair of glasses that must have given him headaches if he had them on for any more than ten seconds, Kurtwood Smith playing another bad guy and Lincoln Kilpatrick as the bad ass with a heart. These are the guys who make FORTRESS watchable...that and a couple tabs of acid as a side wouldn't hurt and Gordon seems to have been taking a page from the Ken Russell book of film making.
