The Delta Force (DVD)

...Force films? This was the first in the series of the Delta Force movies, but it is no better than any of its sequels. Although some of the actors try very hard to bring some realism into the film the basic story line is so weak that their efforts become wasted. In this film a group of Arab terrorists have hijacked an American airliner and demand the release of their comrades from prison. An elite American fighting unit (Delta Force) is assigned ...
...The pace of the film is so slow and so predictable that you start to wonder why are you watching it. You keep telling yourself that it will get better, but unfortunately it never does. There are so many machine gun “shoot-outs” where nobody from the Delta Force gets hit that it becomes laughable. A member of the Delta Force team only needs to blink an eyelid and half a dozen terrorists fall down, but a crowd of terrorists can be firing ...

Review of The Delta Force (DVD)

...that you don't bother with the rest of this opinion [though please rate it :)] and watch "Who Dares Wins" instead. The Delta Force is an elite force of commandos - American of course - trained to deal with any situation and seemingly invincible. The unit is lead by Major Scot McCoy (Norris), who has been pulled from retirement (see where this is going?) after an American Travel Ways airliner is hijacked by terrorists. The plot then develops as the ...
...them. The action is fairly predictable if you know Norris's style. A healthy dose of gunfire from weapons that never need to be reloaded, and some pretty big explosions. Its thoroughly unrealistic and over the top. In particular the DF team seem to have acquired the most ridiculous equipment: dune buggies sporting high-calibre machine gun mountings, and motorbikes with highly explosive rockets attached to the front and rear. These would make James ...

Review of The Delta Force (DVD)

The Delta Force is all about a plane getting hijacked by a group of militant arabs. The hijackers treat the planes passengers like dirt and some are left dead. This is where the Delta Force comes in. The Delta Force are an elite group - like the SAS. It is their job to free as many of the passengers off the plane. What ensues is a series of failed attempts to storm the plane and leads the Force to Jerusalum. It is here where some of the planes male ...
...the way, with no expense spared on the explosive special effects. This film has it all, action, adventure, emotion and a stark reminder of the amount of these types of hikackings that was prevelant in the 70's and 80's. Some of the shooting scenes are a little corny in that Chuck Norris seems to doge every bullet, but then again - every film needs its hero.... Special mention must go to Lee Marvin - fab actor in this film and to the soundtrack, ...

Review of The Delta Force (DVD)

THE ACTION OF CHUCK NORRIS IS OKAY AND HE HAVE TO GET MORE TRAINNING. HE COULD HAVE DONE THE STUNTS IN MORE REALISTIC WAY. THE IDEA OF A PRIEST GIVING THE INFORMATION IS GOOD. THE ACT OF THE VILLIAN IS GOOD. THE PLOT BY THE HIJACKERS IS GOOD. CHASING OF THE FLIGHT IS OKAY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SCENES THAT MAKE THE MOVIE VERY BORING. THERE ARE ALSO SOME VERY INTERESTING SCENES. CHASING OF A PLANE FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY IS NOT POSSIBLE, BUT THE MOVIE ...
