good for the first half, cheesy for the second
THE DELTA FORCE is an odd movie. The first hour of the film is a well written and directed portrait of an airline highjacking. The music is tense and the performances are solid (especially Robert Forster as the head terrorist). Then, when Chuck and Lee show up, the film turns into a patriotic cheesefest where the delta force whips out the terrorists along to cheesy 80s patriotic pop music. The film definitely goes down from here. The director should've realized that the first half was tense and realistic and decided to keep it that way, even if they were going to have the delta force take out the terrorists. I really dont know why they changed the mood of the film so much, because if they had'nt, this could've been an excellent actioner. The second half is still somewhat enjoyable and very unintentionally funny, but those who think that the second half of the film would be as gripping as the first will be disappointed. 3/5

Quotes

Father O'Malley: Greater love than no man hath he gives up his life for a friend. Heavenly father, we humbly ask you that you cherish this most loving soul in the palm of your hand for all eternity. In the name of the father, of the son and of the holy ghost.

Goofs

After the terrorists fatally shoots one of the three U.S. Navy men who was on board the hijacked plane, he falls from the height of the hatch to the tarmac. As his body was lying on the tarmac, and being examined, he is presumed dead. However, if you look at his lower abdomen, you can see it rise, in response to contraction of his diaphragm muscle (breathing).

Alternate Versions

The initial Region-1 DVD was mistakenly released without the Arab language subtitles and location captions. However, this problem was reported and resolved. Most current Region 1 DVD's on the shelf now include the original subtitles and captions as originally intended.
