From our favorite 80s production company, Cannon Film, comes what is possibly their finest action film--The Delta Force. Chuck Norris stars as a member of a task force assigned to rescue a planeful of hostages taken by Lebanese terrorists. For some reason, Chuck Norris is given special treatment, one of the perks being a motorcycle that magically has as many rockets as he needs that fire with sniper-like precision. Thrown into the mix is a characteristically 80s score, with layers upon layers of synthesizers and plenty of drum machine for everyone. The Delta Force is essentially an American propaganda film: Not only do you have a special task force that performs its task with barely a single hitch, you've got the hostages happily singing "America the Beautiful" while cracking open Budweisers when they are rescued. Can you get any more American than that?
7/10
