Zach F Nov 30 This is probably one of the best action packed movies I've seen in a while See more CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni Sep 14 I was impressed by the realistic, you are there, terrorism hijack scenes , Movie pushes all the right buttons in these intense hijack moments, Overall, the action is slightly better than average, Lee Marvin is collecting a paycheck, He makes no attempt at a performance, Chuck is good, but relies on his silly motorcycle missles and mortars to do most of the acting for him, Lots of famous faces in supporting roles, Movie is overlong, with terrible rah rah repetitive music from usually reliable Alan Silvestri, His score got annoying real fast, See more Alex F 12/23/2024 One of if not Chuck Norris’ best action film. See more Andy B 06/28/2024 If my rating for this film was based on how much I laughed during it, it would be a 10. This is an action film with a smattering of recognisable actors, a potentially engaging premise and the gold nugget of being “based on reality”. It is as close to reality as Braveheart is to fact, in that the situation may have existed, but certainly not in the way portrayed on screen. Most of the film is laughably obvious, with recognisable character tropes from disaster movies cropping up instead of actual characters. The only moments where the film shows a shred of intelligence - where the German stewardess begs not to have to pick out the Jewish passengers due to the associations with the Holocaust - is overshadowed by one overblown cliche after another. There are some effective combat scenes, but there is a level of stupidity in the writing that is clearly there just so Chuck Norris can be heroic. The decision to have everyone turn their radios off before an assault is a particularly entertaining one. Surmounted only by one man on a motorbike being deemed sufficient to take out an entire convoy of bad guys. But then, the guy on the motorbike is Chuck Norris, so why was I worried? And then, just as I thought it couldn’t get any lower, the rescued hostages burst into a chorus of America the Beautiful after having been issued cans of Budweiser! Watch with friends and considerable quantities of alcohol. See more Michael S @mstrocko 01/25/2024 Big, dumb action flick from that can't get more '80s: Chuck Norris vs. Muslim terrorists. Littered with good actors slumming it for a paycheck as well as some before-they-were-stars roles. See more Red T 09/14/2023 I'm no military man but I have a gut feeling a lot of this isn't historically accurate how Delta Force operates. Also don't why it's called THE Delta Force but I know this has tons of problems. First the music isn't good. It feels like slightly different tracks of the same thing on fast quick loop and it sounds like a Sega Genesis soundtrack, not for a major motion picture. It's so boring, over the top, and forgettable at the same time somehow. The editing isn't tha good not because the story doesn't make sense but mainly because this tries being a hostage thriller, war thriller, and Chuck Norris movie and never makes them work together in a cosheive way. This actually starts out good when the 2 terrorists are on the plane at first. There is tension, good acting with the hostages, and a good claustrophobic setting. Once we leave that though and focus on the Delta Force guys it loses all of that completely. The soldiers are all one dimensional except for Lee Marvin who is solid and the best actor in this. Chuck Norris plays Chuck Norris basically in this. The cinematography is a mediocre mess and so is the pacing. The longer this goes the more it goes off the rails by dragging the plot out and Chuck Norris doing over the top laughably ridiculous action stunts that almost have to be seen to be believed. The bad guys are generic and forgettable, the core hostage rescue plot is very stnadard stuff, and unfortunately for the rest of the film after they get the plane we forget about the great hostage supporting cast and they don't utter any words again. The action is so ridiulous classic example of 80's over the top excess mostly for worse. I can't recommend this really to anyone except hardcore Chuck Norris fans. This would have been signifacntly better if Chuck Norris character/action scenes weren't in this and Lee Marvin was the main focus. This isn't good. See more Read all reviews
