Amazon.co.uk Review
This typical but well-made action movie, which spawned numerous sequels, means to combine the best elements of the disaster movie with the hard-boiled attributes of traditional action-adventures. When a plane is hijacked to the Middle East by Palestinian terrorists, the Pentagon calls into action the Delta Force, an elite squad of highly trained commandos led by tough guy mainstay Lee Marvin and karate-action-star Chuck Norris. Their mission is simple: to thwart the terrorists and rescue the hostages and the plot concentrates largely on just that, as the team uses its experience and fighting skills to get the job done. Its sometimes preachy patriotic bent occasionally gets in the way of the action and Norris is a one-dimensional figure who at times takes himself too seriously, but his rapport with easy-going veteran Marvin moves the film over some implausible rough spots. While not a groundbreaking contribution to the genre, Delta Force impresses with its straightforward tough-guy style. --Robert Lane

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid fun and complete political incorrectness, 13 Dec 2007
By James the King (...under the stairs) - See all my reviews
As a product of the eighties (I had the misfortune to be born at the very beginning of them), I grew up on movies like this.

One has to wonder what went wrong. In the late sixties and seventies, America was putting out some of the best movies in the world. The reason for this, in my opinion, is that Americans (as a people) were suddenly not afraid of having faults. Vietnam and Nixon made America realise that it had a dark side, and this came through in its cinema. The results were some of the most palpable incarnations of the anti-hero ever put to film.

Alas, in the eighties, something changed. Suddenly, American heroes were not only invincible, but ethically flawless and totally righteous too. 'The Delta Force' is one of the pinnacles of the American hero movie.

In a nutshell, some evil Arab types take a plane full of innocent Americans hostage (many of whom are the eternally oppressed ultra-victims of cinema - Jews) and it's up to Chuck Norris and his motley crew of bad-ass GIs to save the day. Watching it in the ultra-liberal, post 911 21st century, it's hard to believe this film even got made. It's so un-PC that it make Bill Hicks look like Mary Whitehouse.

But here's the catch, it's so damn refreshing to see a piece of action cinema that serves no purpose but to entertain that 'The Delta Force' becomes a beautifully nostalgic piece of escapism that is hard to resist.

It is certainly a flawed film. The editor and director could sure have used a few lessons in pacing. However, one is more than willing to forgive this insult when presented with such testosterone-infested action sequences and cocksure pro-Americanism. It's one of those films that is so bad it's good.

'The Delta Force' is a movie that necessitates the disengagement of the brain and the full attention of the balls. If you have the capacity to do this, and overlook the fact that it is a disgraceful tool of American propaganda, you'll love it. I can just imagine this being George Bush's favourite movie...

Chuck Norris is, in many ways, the ultimate American hero; ruthless but virtuous, kind hearted yet bad-as-hell, the underdog yet the victor. After saving American soldiers from those nasty far-Easterners in the 'Missing in Action' series, Chuckie truly outdoes himself here. Taken with a large pinch of salt, or as a very shrewd satire (a la 'Team America'), 'The Delta Force' delivers in ways Bruckheimer and can only dream of.

4.0 out of 5 stars stone cold action, 4 Oct 2003
The Delta Force delivers action, thrills and plenty of mindblowing sequences throughout the film. This particalar film is the last film which LEE MARVIN starred in before his death in 1987, but still gives a magnificent performance as COL. ALEXANDER, U.S DELTA FORCE. Chuck norris also stars as Major SCOTT McCOY, one of the leading soldiers of delta force.
Considering this movie was based on the 1985 T.W.A hijacking, it does give a form of realism to the actual event, also the tactics used by u,s delta force to tackle its enemy. But once again a great movie, with action, thrills and some emotional sadness. Worth giving a proper viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kicking music, gun-saturated action and v.worth watching!, 7 May 2000
By cipheroutfoxer@aol.com (South Shropshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Delta Force [VHS] [1986] (VHS Tape)
When an ATW flight form Athens, en-route to New York, is hijacked, only one force stands in the way of the death of 144 passengers..The Delta Force. This film, from the start, may put a few people off from it's mass of political stuff, yet it'll only take about 30 mins, if that, to see the action start pumping. Great chase scenes, more guns that in a local gunshop and soundtrack that surely has to be the best for a film of this genre. Get it now, 'till you do, you will never know what you missed. An utmost ace classic!
