Before you know it, Brennick is... After escaping from the futuristic maximum security prison portrayed in 1993's FORTRESS, John Brennick (Christopher Lambert) and his family are fugitives once again. Before you know it, Brennick is once again trapped in a world of concrete, steel, and laser-blazing security probes. No ordinary prison, this one was created by the evil Men-Tel Corporation and orbits 26,000 miles from Earth. Among the inmates are the fiercest criminals on the planet, who bide their time performing menial labor amidst meteor showers and other harsh elements. Facing an elaborate surveillance system which includes a camera placed inside his own body, Brennick must overcome the odds and be reunited with his wife and son. [More]

A few campy thrills, but the first one's a whole lot better.

Bad, bad sequel to surprisingly good cult film.

This follow-up, whose natural home would seem to be video rental stores rather than local multiplexes, lacks Gordon's wit and grit.

The film's combination of sex, humor and violence looks like a cynical attempt to capitalize on the unsophisticated juvenile video market.

Patrick Malahide provides a few laughs as a slightly camp governor and Pam Grier puts in a token cameo but none of it is enough to save a film that sorely lacks energy.

The only thing that Fortress 2: Re-entry does succeed at is in being an awful movie.
