Initially I thought the long playing time would be against it. Somehow it did, but on the other hand the damage is not that bad. Delta Force is easily said a very entertaining action movie. The story is obviously not very special. After all, it's based on a real-life hijacking that happened in the mid-'80s, but the action makes up for it.

The problem may be a bit that the real action literally only starts after an hour. The hijack itself takes a long time. Very long. Maybe 20-30 minutes of material should have been cut. Had that happened, I might have given half a star more. For the rest it is a pure eighties action lick. So a lot of bad music, a lot of volleys shot from the hip (Chuck doesn't have to aim, he always hits the spot) and engines that still fire grenades through the exhaust. How can you not like this?

Reasonable film in which a group of terrorists hijack a plane. During the first part, this true hijacking is extensively portrayed. As a result, the Delta Force itself only comes into action late. The second part also consists of non-stop action. Sometimes a bit clumsy (especially the soundtrack), but overall quite entertaining. The acting is quite variable. A small 3.0 stars.

A typical product of its time. Full of clichés, the necessary shooting and more action than acting. Oh yeah, and a synthesizer tune in the background. The Delta Force is a group of laughing men who I think would start a war because they could have fun with each other. The first part is - despite the characters almost becoming a parody - just exciting enough. I was looking forward to seeing how it would turn out. Then the action starts and you can clearly see the lack of quality. Chuck Norris, meanwhile, is a cult figure. But in this genre I do miss the bland one-liners that you are used to with eg Schwarzenegger or Willis.

Nice action film, but mainly a guilty pleasure and not exactly high-quality.
