If these guys are supposed to be America's elite fighting force, God help us. This movie is an embarrassment to the Delta Force and all other military combat units. The tactics they displayed during the firefight in the first 20 minutes of the movie were more characteristic of a bunch of middle schoolers, not battle-hardened warriors with mental fortitude. Along with canned dialogue, unrealistic scenarios, and unintentional humor (like when one soldier walks right across a room with bullets screaming by him, making no attempt to crouch or crawl to make himself a smaller target, then gets shot in the leg), maybe a more apt title would be "Police Academy 8: Mission to Kenya."
... View MoreAre they serious?! This has to be the most mindless, generic "action" film I've ever seen! The action scenes are filmed in slow motion for some reason, the dialogue is corny and laughable, and many parts of the story are completely unbelievable.0 stars out of 5. Ugh!
... View MoreI love action films, and I rented this because the rental-case artwork looked interesting and made the film look exciting. It is basically about Arab terrorist Jafari bin Kasim who brainwashes American combat veterans and sends them on suicide bombing missions. The film opens with a brainwashed man flying an explosives-laden Cessna plane into a moving train carrying a European ambassador, which blows up the train on a bridge over a lake. There are a few more suicide bombings throughout the film (none of them very exciting) so finally, the Delta Force team is called in to track down Kasim and kill him and his thugs. So the movie is basically very boring with terrible acting until the final scene, where the Delta Force invades Kasim's terrorist base in the middle of Kenya and blows it up, killing many terrorists. It is a 90-minute "action" film with only a single 10-minute action scene, which is very poorly filmed in blurry slow-motion and it is very hard to see what's going on. There is a very short gun-battle in the final scene and perhaps a single terrorist is killed and then everything blows up. That is it. How Kasim was able to kidnap and brainwash Americans, I do not know, but even if you are absolutely in love with action films, this was horrible, even if you take into consideration that it was only a made-for-video movie. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS AND YOU WILL THANK ME. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or comments.
... View Morewriting as someone who's occasionally liaised with UK and US special forces I can only hope that they have a sense of humour if they ever see this. Certain sections obviously weren't skimped on but surely they could have afforded less flabby and more talented actors and a story that at least tried to inject some tension and humanity.
