I don't know, I didn't love this one like a lot of people did. I'm a Chuck Norris fan, too. This one is slowly paced, and there's not a lot of action until towards the end. Chuck only has two fight scenes, and though the action scenes were well-staged, I wished for more.
Cannon Films is notorious for making trashy but fun B action movies in the 80s, and this falls into that category. Except for Norris and Lee Marvin, everyone else is unfamiliar, though the villain's performance was pretty good.
I just thought it was a little boring. A lot of time was spent on the plane with the hijackers and passengers, almost too much, especially since none of the action occurs on the plane and it lands toward the end of the second act. I also thought there wasn't enough of a focus on The Delta Force as a group. It felt like a group action movie that wanted to be a Chuck Norris vehicle. They should've either focused on all of the members of the Force, or just had Chuck with a nameless team of fodder.
The action scenes were fun. The car chase, compound raid, and final battle were all good, and when Norris does fight he really kicks butt. Cannon Entertainment's films usually have at least a fair amount of decent action. This one is very 80s, and there are enough explosions and vehicular crashes to entertain.
It was mildly enjoyable at best for me, and it's not even close to being one of my 80s favorites. I much preferred the sequel, honestly. I can marginally recommend this, though.
