Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
TheLittleSongbird Did not expect much in the first place before watching 'Black Site Delta'. It sounded interesting, but it did look like a not very well made, ridiculous and by the numbers film with not particularly good actors. Saw 'Black Site Delta' anyway out of curiosity, being intrigued by the idea and having been a lot of low-budget films recently (most not very good to put it lightly). 'Black Site Delta' turned out to be more or less, make that exactly even, what was expected. Except worse. It started off pretty well, with a competently done and attention-grabbing opening sequence, giving off the sense that maybe the film won't be bad and be better than it seemed. This didn't stay for long though and it is something of a shame. After the opening, the film went down south catastrophically very quickly and never recovered or improved. Actually got pretty much worse as it progressed. On a visual level, 'Black Site Delta' looked shoddy. Drab and simplistic, with haphazard editing and self-indulgent camera work that seemed too much in love with Cam Gigandet, for reasons that are a puzzlement because it only succeeds in betraying his lack of ability. The sound/soundtrack are intrusive and obvious and the direction has no sense of atmosphere or pacing, nothing to be thrilled by and nothing much engaging.Script is awkward-sounding and ponderous, with lines that do make one cringe. A lot of it is gibberish and juvenile, with a stilted improvisatory feel that shouldn't have made it past draft stages. On top of that, the story goes through the motions with no tension, suspense or thrills, a lot of intelligence-insulting ridiculousness and pacing so dull that it makes a reasonably short length much longer. The action-oriented scenes are more preposterous and by the numbers than they are thrilling or fun.Less said about the acting the better, awful all round though in all fairness they have poor direction, an even poorer script and one-dimensional caricatures (that aren't interesting or endearing at all, the stupid and illogical decision making and behaviours making one frustrated) to work with. The biggest dishonourable mentions being Cam Gigandet, showing no acting ability let alone charisma whatsoever in the lead role, and Arash Moktar in far too over-the-top mode in a way that was painful to watch. In summary, very poor and a must don't save. 2/10 Bethany Cox
Wizard-8 "Black Site Delta" is certainly not the first B movie to rip off the formula established by the movie "Die Hard", nor is it the first "Die Hard" rip off to be set in a prison. Despite the lack of originality on display here, I was still open to the movie when I sat down to watch it. But while it is certainly not as bad as some other "Die Hard" rip-offs, it is for the most part a very mediocre telling of the formula. It does have a little novelty, such as having prisoners being the heroes of the movie, and there is a little comic relief here and there that is amusing. But the movie more often misses than hits. While the production values are not rock bottom, it's clear that the filmmakers didn't exactly have a lavish budget to build sets or strengthen the often claustrophobic direction. The direction also stumbles with the action sequences, which feel mediocre, or have a "Been there, done that" feeling to them. In the end, the movie doesn't really feel "bad", but all the same has a very bland feeling. There are better "Die Hard" rip offs out there, though you could also simply rewatch the real McCoy again instead of watching this.
Uriah43 After a bar fight results in a fatality, an American soldier named "Jake" (Cam Gigandet) is sent to a top secret prison where only those with classified information are imprisoned. As it so happens, however, this prison also contains drones and missiles used to hit terrorist targets elsewhere in the world. Not only that, but a nuclear warhead is also kept there as well. That being the case it is an extremely tempting target for an Afghan warlord named "General Khan" (Arash Mokhtar) whose family was killed by the Americans—and he wants vengeance. To that end he hires a mercenary by the name of "Colonel Irving" (Michael Dale) who proceeds to hire a crack team in order to take the secret base by force. What he doesn't count on are the prisoners who have managed to obtain their release in all of the confusion and are equally intent on stopping them from getting their hands on a nuclear weapon. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had potential but suffered from a lack of imagination, bad acting, poorly written script and an extremely predictable plot. That being said, I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
psxexperten What a waste of time. Who the hell makes these films and why? Surely the production cost outweighs the incoming revenue? This film infuriated me from the word go, really. I know a lot about low budget film making and I understand that this film is not necessarily the worst low-budget film ever made... but it comes very close.
