The danger aspect is kinda lessened because there are so many of them. Yeah its OK but its not as awesome as I kinda expected, there are quite a lot of Delta Force soldiers so you don't really feel like you're watching an elite ops team, more like a platoon. Its been slow coming but eventually you do get what you paid for if you paid for it that is, America's finest going head to head with errr.Robert Forster and his henchmen. This is where we get into Rambo territory as I'm sure you can guess. Once you get past the airliner sections the film does loose that intensity, all the male/Jewish passengers have been locked away in a Beirut dungeon and its up to Delta Force to kick ass. The scene where the bad guys start to single out all the Jews is admittedly an emotional moment, things get nasty and all you can think is where the hell is Chuck Norris. You do actually feel uncomfortable watching the terrorists at work, you feel for the passengers and it does make you think about what you'd do in a similar situation. To be honest everything up to that area is pretty intense really, the hijacking by a young tanned and impressive Robert Forster is really good and pretty authentic looking (can Forster really speak Lebanese?). In fact the plot here is virtually an exact recreation of what happened, so it could almost be seen as a proper historical account, almost.Īs for the actual rescue by Norris and his team, that is of course all make believe and where the film does enter the action man genre. But the main crux of the films plot is clearly based on the hostage crisis in 1985 of TWA flight 847. The start of the film is set at the end of US Operation Eagle Claw as the Americans are evacuating Iran. There are many aspects of this film which have been based around real events which does give the film a serious biopic vibe, even though it is just an action flick. No seriously its actually a lot deeper than that believe it or not. Now you'd think this was a stupid one man army type flick with hordes of bad guys getting mown down by the all American hero.and you'd be right. There's only one thing you can do, only one man you can call, Bruce.no not him, Sly.no try again, Arn.no! god damn it! Chuck! Chuck Norris! remember him? the bloke who never swears, the one with the stubble thing going on. They wanna hurt the US of A, they will stop at nothing.what are you gonna do?.
There's a major hostage crisis going down, a small team of Arabian terrorists have taken control of a US airliner packed with innocent civilians.
