Blu B Jun 21 Music's better in this one but it's still generic late 80's sounding stuff for action flicks. The pacing is terrible mainly because it tankswith way to much action in the final 30 minutes just nonstop. Everything else is subpar. It feels like 2 different films by the middle. One with the colonel trying to get the operation going to save Norris and Norris doing his action stuff. This is the poster child for over the top generic 80's-90's action flicks. They don't even give him a squad or give really any guise of him being a Delta Force soldier. It's literally Norris is a one man wrecking crew of destruction. The action is over the top, way too much of it, and generic at the same time. The villian isn't good, Norris is just playing himself, and everyone else is super forgettable. The partner was too. In general the acting is chessy and over the top. The whole plot is the barebones generic action drug warlord plot we've seen done a thousand times and this does nothing to set itself apart. Something like this gives me appreciation for Commando. This has self awareness to a degree and has all the cliches of a action flick of the time but not as good as that somehow. Direction here is really basic too and way too much slow motion. Skip This. Honestly the first was probably a bit better but that's not saying much. More than anything it says a lot about Lee Marvin. At least they fixed "The" in the title. See more Noble S 09/16/2024 I really love the fight scenes and the movie is entertaining! See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 03/23/2024 This sequel loses the campy charm of the original and it's an boring one man army film with Chuck Norris (Silent Rage, The Octagon) even slumming it in a Cannon (The Assault, The Apple) shoot em up See more DanTheMan 2 07/05/2023 While Delta Force 2 has very little in common with the original outside of Chuck's Colonel Scott McCoy, it does at least carry over the more over-the-top aspects from the latter half of the original, however, unlike the original, Delta Force 2 is decisively over-the-top from the get-go with no attempt at being semi-serious. The film certainly has a mean streak, plenty of innocents and not-so-innocents are killed in a variety of ways, it's wince-inducing but weirdly also rather dull in parts, but thankfully contains a mixture of fun action set pieces and stuntwork, credit where credit is due Director Aaron Norris (younger brother of Chuck) does earn his paycheck. Speaking of, Chuck is as entertaining as always but the rest of the cast is just kinda there with no real sense of presence like you got in the first film. You can tell that Billy Drago's villain was originally written for Jean-Claude Van Damme (before he went off to do Cyborg instead). The music by Frédéric Talgorn is pretty much just your substandard military marches without any flair and nowhere near as funky as Alan Silvestri's score to the first film. While I still had fun with Delta Force 2, the film clearly suffered from mid-production rewrites that brought it down a bunch, the humour often clashing with the dark tone. Losing any sense of political hangups in favour of explosions and endless waves of goons being shot Delta Force 2 while worse than the first, is still great fun even if it's decidedly mid-tier Cannon and Norris. See more David W 06/21/2023 Enjoyable action flick that features the Mk2 more muscular Norris. It makes no pretentions towards believability or subtlety but it's an undemandingly fun, action packed, 80's style ride. See more 08/12/2019 Quiet entertaining even though the plot is a bit thin.
