Well, the 2021 movie "Fortress" wasn't particularly impressive, so it was with some hesitation that I sat down to watch the 2022 movie "Fortress: Sniper's Eye". And truth be told, I wasn't harboring much of any expectations to the movie from writers Randall Emmett, Emile Hirsch and Alan Horsnail, since a lot, and I do mean a lot, of the recent Bruce Willis movies have been dubious at best.
Yet, I opted to give director Josh Sternfeld's 2022 movie "Fortress: Sniper's Eye" a chance, as I do believe all movies need a fair chance. But the movie was actually as I had anticipated, nay, it was actually worse than anticipated. While the 2021 movie "Fortress" was pretty bad, then the 2022 movie "Fortress: Sniper's Eye" was even worse.
Talk about a swing and a miss of a storyline from writers Randall Emmett, Emile Hirsch and Alan Horsnail. Not only does the mundane and boring characters from the 2021 movie carry on in the 2022 movie, but without any improvement. The character gallery in "Fortress: Sniper's Eye" is insanely boring and mundane, and I just simply didn't care one ounce about these mundane and pointless characters that milled about on the screen.
And that made the laughably bad storyline even more difficult to get into. Not only was the storyline here in "Fortress: Sniper's Eye" rubbish, but the lack of interesting characters or dialogue just simply made it nearly unbearable to watch.
Even with the likes of Bruce Willis, Chad Michael Murray and Jesse Metcalfe on the cast list, "Fortress: Sniper's Eye" just simply stood a snowball's chance in hell of being an entertaining movie.
Sure, if you enjoyed the 2021 movie "Fortress", then you might find something entertaining in the 2022 movie "Fortress: Sniper's Eye". But I wouldn't go betting on it. "Fortress: Sniper's Eye" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.
My rating of "Fortress: Sniper's Eye" lands on a two out of ten stars. It just simply was rubbish.
