Standard action packed film with the usual feats Delta Force

The film deals about a South African terrorist group ruled by Nash(Joe Lara)who have robbed a vials of a deadly virus called Ebola and threatening to release on the population.Delta Force is assigned by Security Chief(Hal Holbrook)for the mission to track down them.The lead(Jeff Fahey) and others members(Frank Zagarino,Rob Stewart,Natasha Sutherland) are flown into Mozambique to stop'em. They must battle to vanquish in this overly violent actioner.The picture is exciting and tense at time lackluster thriller.It's a standard actioner is less than memorable.However the fights,gunplay,shoot out and explosions are well done in this routine actioner.The flick is plenty of macho man,frenetic action,chases,struggles and firepower. Delta Force origin story is in ¨Delta Force I¨based on hijacking TWA plane with Chuck Norris,Lee Marvin,George Kennedy and directed by Menahen Golan.Posteriorly continues ¨Delta ForceII operation stranglehold¨ with Norris,Richard Jaeckel,Billy Drago and directed by his brother Aaron Norris. ¨Delta ForceIII the killing game¨with the sons Hollywood's bigger stars:EricDouglas,Nick Cassavetes,Mike Norris and directed by the same director this film,Sam Firstemberg. Rating : mediocre but entertained.
