	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"I thought this was going to be another hilarious disaster movie, but I was wrong. The Delta Force settles down into a well-made action film that tantalizes us with its parallels to real life"	POS
United States	IGN	"The movie is not Oscar caliber by any means. The acting is spare and without much passion.. Sure the movie is worth one or two stars at best"	NEU
United Kingdom	Time Out	"Students of minimal acting techniques can compare Marvin and Norris: impassivity versus vacancy."	NEG
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Despite its large scale, it plays like a formula TV movie"	NEU
United States	Paul Attanasio The Washington Post	"Golan and Bruner, in other words, have made the Holocaust into just another tear-jerking tool for the Cannon Productions shlockenspiel"	NEG
United States	Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune	"The script plays like 'The Dirty Dozen' saving the passenger list of ''Airport `77'"	NEG
United States	Bill Cosford Miami Herald	"Like most Norris vehicles, The Delta Force is long on spurious action and short on production values. It's also silly"	NEG
