The worst of the series
18 November 2011
I've now seen all five films of the Nu Image studio's "Operation Delta Force" series, and I can say with full confidence that this entry is the absolute worst of the series. It's not just that the movie is badly made, but it makes the unforgivable sin of being BORING. I'm not just talking about the scenes between the action - the action scenes simply lack passion and excitement. You might think no one could screw up, for example, one group of armed men on snowboards chasing another armed group on skis... or a tank chasing a truck on a highway... but director Mark Roper seems absolutely helpless directing these and other action sequences.

The movie also suffers from poor character development (some of the good guys we don't even learn the names of!) plus a really cheap look to every scene. They shot this movie in Bulgaria to save some money, but the movie looks impoverished throughout - making me think the budget must have been VERY VERY low!

If you must watch one of the movies in this series, watch part 3. Although it's only an okay movie, you can see a lot of effort was made in making it, and it's an Oscar winner compared to part 4!
