Yet Another Bruce Willis Straight to Video, He’s Second Lead to Jesse Metcalfe, Shannon Doherty Gets No Billing Upfront

Share

The Bruce Willis story just gets sadder and sadder. Here’s yet another straight to video schlock fest called “Fortress.” In this one Bruce is second billed to Jesse Metcalfe, a nice D list TV soap guy. Chad Michael Murray is in it, too. So is Shannen Doherty, who couldn’t even get upfront billing (yet she’s featured in the trailer).

Poor Bruce: he worked two days at most, sits in most scenes, never says more than three or four words, and his voice sounds like it dropped, or it’s deeper, or he’s ADR’d. Does he know where he is? Or who these people are? He’s done about a dozen of these things, they are all the same, and frighteningly bad.

Rumer, Scott, Tallullah– put a stop to this, already.
