When this initially came out, it struck me as an unveiled propaganda movie, like those produced during World war II. It was a simple good guys versus the stereotyped bad guys movie with a bland ho hum plot. However, in the light of recent terroristic activities worldwide, this film now has a tinge of truth in it. Bad guys do exist and they do commit terroristic acts and they MUST be eliminated. Thst is the reality portrayed here. The fantasy is that there is a Delta Forcee that can  obliterate these bad guys. Well, they haven't done it yet. Lee Marvin provides his usual inebriated acting in this one. However, Chuck Norris is statuestic. His acting is pretty much mundane here. The inclusion of so many prominent stars does not make this a classic. But this may eventually end up being a cult film if the situation where terrorists are not destroyed in the real world persists. At least in this movie, they get their lickings.
