Black Site Delta

After a bar fight results in a fatality, an American soldier named "Jake" (Cam Gigandet) is sent to a top secret prison where only those with classified information are imprisoned. As it so happens, however, this prison also contains drones and missiles used to hit terrorist targets elsewhere in the world. Not only that, but a nuclear warhead is also kept there as well. That being the case it is an extremely tempting target for an Afghan warlord named "General Khan" (Arash Mokhtar) whose family was killed by the Americans-and he wants vengeance. To that end he hires a mercenary by the name of "Colonel Irving" (Michael Dale) who proceeds to hire a crack team in order to take the secret base by force. What he doesn't count on are the prisoners who have managed to obtain their release in all of the confusion and are equally intent on stopping them from getting their hands on a nuclear weapon. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had potential but suffered from a lack of imagination, bad acting, poorly written script and an extremely predictable plot. That being said, I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

"Black Site Delta" is certainly not the first B movie to rip off the formula established by the movie "Die Hard", nor is it the first "Die Hard" rip off to be set in a prison. Despite the lack of originality on display here, I was still open to the movie when I sat down to watch it. But while it is certainly not as bad as some other "Die Hard" rip-offs, it is for the most part a very mediocre telling of the formula. It does have a little novelty, such as having prisoners being the heroes of the movie, and there is a little comic relief here and there that is amusing. But the movie more often misses than hits. While the production values are not rock bottom, it's clear that the filmmakers didn't exactly have a lavish budget to build sets or strengthen the often claustrophobic direction. The direction also stumbles with the action sequences, which feel mediocre, or have a "Been there, done that" feeling to them. In the end, the movie doesn't really feel "bad", but all the same has a very bland feeling. There are better "Die Hard" rip offs out there, though you could also simply rewatch the real McCoy again instead of watching this.

Fly it UP and STALL it..... eyeroll.... god this movie script writer is stupid. Hold off enemy for 30 min... or stall the plane in minutes... take your pick. Either way, the last 30 minutes should have taken 5, at best.

This is a sort of DE HARD rip-off in a jail. A lousy, corny grade Z film, of course. But I enjoyed it. First, it begins in a scene, in a bar, the kind of sequence seen billions of times before BUT that eventually doesn't lead where you first expected it would; I made it to the end because of the body count game. Our heroes kill dozens of hostiles like in CALL OF DUTY game...In this film, bad guys fall like flies. They are as Special Forces as I am, or they look like just drafted soldiers. Pure enjoyable crap. I like the serial, vicious, sadistic killer who enjoys ripping the bad guys. Some interesting scenes, such as this one where the Afghan leader- a bad guy - confesses to his broad about his motivations. Good and interesting line in such a lousy stuff. The sniper character is outstanding for this kind of garbage movie; I saw it as a sort of Clint Eastwood's AMERICAN SNIPER. That's the best of the entire feature. And no one knows what happens to one of the characters.

Did not expect much in the first place before watching 'Black Site Delta'. It sounded interesting, but it did look like a not very well made, ridiculous and by the numbers film with not particularly good actors. Saw 'Black Site Delta' anyway out of curiosity, being intrigued by the idea and having been a lot of low-budget films recently (most not very good to put it lightly). 'Black Site Delta' turned out to be more or less, make that exactly even, what was expected. Except worse. It started off pretty well, with a competently done and attention-grabbing opening sequence, giving off the sense that maybe the film won't be bad and be better than it seemed. This didn't stay for long though and it is something of a shame. After the opening, the film went down south catastrophically very quickly and never recovered or improved. Actually got pretty much worse as it progressed. On a visual level, 'Black Site Delta' looked shoddy. Drab and simplistic, with haphazard editing and self-indulgent camera work that seemed too much in love with Cam Gigandet, for reasons that are a puzzlement because it only succeeds in betraying his lack of ability. The sound/soundtrack are intrusive and obvious and the direction has no sense of atmosphere or pacing, nothing to be thrilled by and nothing much engaging. Script is awkward-sounding and ponderous, with lines that do make one cringe. A lot of it is gibberish and juvenile, with a stilted improvisatory feel that shouldn't have made it past draft stages. On top of that, the story goes through the motions with no tension, suspense or thrills, a lot of intelligence-insulting ridiculousness and pacing so dull that it makes a reasonably short length much longer. The action-oriented scenes are more preposterous and by the numbers than they are thrilling or fun. Less said about the acting the better, awful all round though in all fairness they have poor direction, an even poorer script and one-dimensional caricatures (that aren't interesting or endearing at all, the stupid and illogical decision making and behaviours making one frustrated) to work with. The biggest dishonourable mentions being Cam Gigandet, showing no acting ability let alone charisma whatsoever in the lead role, and Arash Moktar in far too over-the-top mode in a way that was painful to watch. In summary, very poor and a must don't save. 2/10 Bethany Cox

A dronebase that can control a drone flying around with a very large nuclear bomb is being captured by terrorists, so the 'good' prisoners must step in. But there are just so many mistakes so it should not get any stars at all. A base that can control a drone flying around with an atomic bomb has "dangerous" military prisoners... but is manned worse than a Detroit fuel station. The 'good' guys can't take down two terrorist who stands with their back to the 'good' guys, but storm into a room with 4 terrorists and kill them all easily.. that they can do. The terrorists shoot a guard from a long distance, but a woman who runs against them... nope, they can't hit her. The female actor is so bad, so it's almost a little funny. The 'good' sniper shoots all the damn time, but there are not really any more dead bodies then the first ones he shot. Their emotional moments are so miserable, so it's almost embarrassing - they try, but the play is just not credible. The 'good' ones find the control room for where they should press some buttons so that the nuclear drones could be remotely controlled from another base.... BUT, of course, the nearest base is out of range to be remote controlled - question; why then lay a base so far from the other? One of the evil ones has been shot but survives, but when one of the 'good' threatens a knife... he speaks and tells everything - and they should imagine to be Navy Seal, Recons, etc. ect. Because Jake saves the female soldiers life twice, suddently they are big time in love and make out 🙄 The entire movie is one big joke, sorry to say.

Some movies better not get out of obscurity. This is one of them. And while I do have a knack for low budget movies, there comes a time when by the numbers isn't cutting it anymore. It's many things, from the script to the lesser than one dimensional characters, to the "acting". I guess you could say the action is decent if you consider the low budget nature of the movie (which means you will not be impressed). Also the way weapons are handled reaks of amateur hour ... There are so many other things you could do with your time. And I might start thinking about not watching movies like these through. Because they don't get any better and you can tell very early on ...

This epitomizes a bad movie, and I'm afraid the filmmakers spent a lot of wasted money producing it. An independent movie needs to tell a story, and have depth. This production had neither. Just bad actors who they obviously paid too much money for. If you do find yourself sitting down to watch it, and making your way all the way through, you will just sort of feel exhausted afterwards. Like you spent more time trying to figure out how this movie ever got made than actually watching it.

Epitome of a terrible movie and time wasted that I can't get back

This is one of those movies where the major issues for the characters could easily have been prevented but were caused anyway by the characters stupidity. Even worse is the fighting scenes: the times where they are open and exposed to enemy fire and should have been shot, but wasn't. Even tho you sit waiting for them to be shot, nothing happens. Those are some of the things that make it a bad movie.
