Reviews
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
hwg1957-102-265704 It has a hijacked submarine, a hijacked ocean liner, a hijacked missile base, a Shakespeare quoting villain not to mention the eponymous Delta Force. Is it good? Well, it's OK. The villain has a complicated scheme to obtain disappointingly lots of money and Delta Force are put into action and win the day. The action is OK, the acting is OK, the music is OK. The explosions are good and it is fun to see the villains mown down in slow motion with the heroes hardly getting a scratch, like a video game, but it eventually starts to pall. The film is however much too long. It could have done without the initial sequence of the Delta Force rescuing a prisoner from Iraq and gone into the main plot straight away.
Wizard-8 Being a fan of movies made by Nu Image was the main reason why I rented this movie. I wanted to start with part one, but I could not locate it anywhere, so I started with part two. (All the movies in the series seem to have different characters, so I knew I wouldn't be missing anything.) Although this was clearly a low budget movie, I was impressed on how they managed to stretch the budget. We get things like tanks plowing through buildings, collapsing guard towers, submarine interiors, and sea ports. The photography is usually sharp, and the lighting is bright enough.While this movie may look good, most of the remaining part of the movie is unfortunately not very well done. This is a sluggish movie - the story is dragged out to an overbearing length (the movie is almost two hours long!), and the action scenes lack zip, either due to excessive slow motion or flat direction. There are some technical goofs like the shadow of the boom mike being visible or some real inept editing. And none of the characters really manage to stand out, even the bad guys. Even if you watch this movie for free during a slow day, chances are good you'll be weary long before it ends.
sveknu As a lover of everything who has something to do with action, guns, explosions and all of that stuff, this movie was a perfect way to spend my time. This movie has it all. It starts right off in the opening scene, where our friends and heroes from the Delta Force completely outmanouvers the enemy. Not just that, but the scene is very good when it comes to action, special effects, action, explosions, action, tensity, and action. There's nothing better than the US army showing the scum of the world how things are done. The movie continues in the same style all the way through, and it also has a lot of variety. For example, we get some interesting things happening on board a sub, in addition to an attack on a Russian naval base. This movie kicks a** 110 %!
~PL~ The Operation Delta Force series had no reason to justify its five (proudly) American products or either the shoot the five of them in only two years...so, in this case, I can say the job was made fast, but in a bad way...This one isn't an exception...the same recipe over and over again...the invincible squad of American soldiers killing thousands of terrorists from other nationalities such as the usual Russia...Is that a "Made in America political speech"? What could be a plot summary for this movie if it's not "American muscled heroes kicking the terrorists' butts"? I saw Operation Delta Force 3: Clear Target, and it was the SAME thing, the only advantage in the third one was that it lasted shorter...A huge advantage in this case! The acting...if you call it so...is plain bad...I've never seen the actors of ODF2 before, and I hope I won't see them again! The characters are single-minded...definitely...and it is at some point funny...you can't say anything about any character...I don't even remember the principal character's name...no informations given about any characters except maybe the size of his gun...so in this film, the most important characters are the guns...The special effects are not bad, but they're not reinventing cinema...Another funny point is that SO many people get shot in this film, and there is almost no blood...And THE point that made the film last so long was the stupid and pathetic slow-motion with the backing patriotic American music during all the action scenes (that means more than three quarters of the movie)...Plain bad...If you like guns, soldiers and EXTREME cliches that you could see in a Simpson's episode put in a serious way, or if you really dislike Russians, you'll like this one...But, if you're someone who has healthy movie tastes...avoid it...I give it 28%.
