Review of The Delta Force (1986) by Tim S — 06 Jun 2010
Ok, for an action flick, this is really, really long. As far as I'm concerned, over half an hour could have been hacked out of this movie to give it the pace that it needs. I'm not quite sure what to make of it really, but found it to be extremely mediocre due to the slowness of it.
There are some great scenes with the terrorists and the hostages that do have a bit of an emotional tug, but everything surrounding that is just bland and, well not very good. The action isn't even really that great.
It's Chuck Norris, so you expect to see him kicking some ass, but to tell you the truth, he kicks very little ass and isn't a very big part of the film. That would be fine, but this has always been remembered as far back as I can remember as a 'Chuck Norris action classic', and it really isn't.
I'm not quite sure what they were going for, but I wish they had spent more time in the editing room and trimmed out a lot of the fat.
