Critics' reviews

"I thought this was going to be another hilarious disaster movie, but I was wrong. The Delta Force settles down into a well-made action film that tantalizes us with its parallels to real life"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"The movie is not Oscar caliber by any means. The acting is spare and without much passion.. Sure the movie is worth one or two stars at best"

IGN
"Despite its large scale, it plays like a formula TV movie"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"Golan and Bruner, in other words, have made the Holocaust into just another tear-jerking tool for the Cannon Productions shlockenspiel"

Paul Attanasio: The Washington Post
"The script plays like 'The Dirty Dozen' saving the passenger list of ''Airport `77'"

Gene Siskel: Chicago Tribune
"Like most Norris vehicles, The Delta Force is long on spurious action and short on production values. It's also silly"

Bill Cosford: Miami Herald
"Students of minimal acting techniques can compare Marvin and Norris: impassivity versus vacancy."
