Stronghold

Certain movies entertain you because they're full of special effects, elaborate set pieces, and superstars in every frame. Enormous budgets will overcome almost anything. There are, however, some things money cannot be, even in Hollywood. And for those certain qualities that aren't for sale, we turn to movies like Stronghold.

This film accomplished so much with so few ingredients, because they were all put together just right. The story was outlandish, but still believable. The sets were realistic. And the acting pushed everything right over the top, being the centerpiece of this film.

Stronghold was a showcase of its actors, plain and simple. They're the reason I believed every moment. It's a popcorn movie for sure.
