#Operation delta force movie free#
Sent in to Iraq to free some imprisoned soldiers, HQ calls off the rescue mission because of how tough it turns out to be, but the funny thing about Captain Skip is that he doesn’t have an “off button” when it comes to old men in cushy Pentagon jobs pussying out and leaving our boys behind! What follows is so much damage (including a helicopter falling into a building) to the Iraqi forces, I don’t understand how they had anything left for the second Gulf War! (Ok – one guy did get a flesh wound during this first mission, but no one’s perfect, right?)

You don’t have to be a member of Delta Force though to know how the movie is going to end – with both Captain Langs in the Russian sub, toasting each other with sweet, well-earned Russian vodka! You’re just praying again to those movie gods, that there’s all kinds of flimsy buildings, surplus military equipment, and thousands of extras getting blown up over and over and over! And again, just like Delta Force themselves, those gods deliver!Īs is to expected, the beginning of the film establishes Delta Force’s bona fides as a well oiled team of constant destruction immune to thousands of rounds of gunfire, tank blasts, and helicopter attacks. Navy ever had! Until his son Pete got killed on a special forces mission in Lebanon! And everyone knows that Pete only joined special ops because his brother Skip did! And now Skip knows dad blames him for Pete’s death!Īnd in fact, Captain Halsey took Pete’s death so hard he quit the navy and took the most mundane, lame job he could think of to try and forget how haunted he was! And what was that job? Cruise ship captain! We’re talking Captain freaking Stubbing from the Love Boat here!īut the bottom line according to Skip? He isn’t concerned about his father’s safety on the mission any more than his father would be concerned for his! Either this is the most messed up family ever or the coolest! Skip’s father, Captain Halsey Lang, was the best damn nuclear submarine captain the U.S.
When the normally taciturn and perpetually granite-faced Captain Skip Lang of Delta Force addressed his team about their concerns for him leading a rescue mission where his father was being held hostage on a Russian submarine and told them simply, “it’s a long story guys, basically me and my father, we don’t talk” on the one hand I was loving it! Is there anything more special forces than brushing off all sorts of emotions about your broken relationship with your dad with really abbreviated tough guy talk?īut on the other hand, I was on the edge of my seat praying to the low budget special forces movie gods that Captain Skip would flesh out his long story about why he and his father just can’t admit that they care and respect each other’s choices in life.Īnd by golly, if my prayers weren’t answered just like those of the captured soldiers Skip and his team rescued at the beginning of the movie when Skip announced his presence by stating “morning boys, Delta Force, someone call for a taxi?”
