THE DELTA FORCE (Theatrical Release USA 1986)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

The Delta Force
contains some scenes that do not seem very probable and works from a script that could use a re-write. However, the usual action movie’s flash and dash liberally sprinkle the film’s scenes which makes this film a great background flick to play while entertaining friends around a grill. Plenty of shooting and blowing up stuff swirl around Chuck Norris, Lee Marvin, George Kennedy, Bo Svenson, Robert Forester, Robert Vaughn, Shelley Winters, and Eric Norris. The movie has a very good supporting cast.

Yes. It’s a solid action film and worth a watch to see some of Chuck Norris’ earlier work and Lee Marvin, George Kennedy’s later work.
