hyped garbage

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie takes me back to the good ole straight to VCR days from the mid-1980's. It should fit into a niche, like those fun 80's movies with dudes getting blasted, some cheesy dialogue, and a few minutes of escape.

"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.

This film tells the story of six military personnel who are locked up in a secret military prison. They soon find out that their facility is raided by a fully armed squad in order to steal a nuclear weapon hidden in the facility. They have to outsmart the squad to stop the squad's heist."Black Site Delta" starts off semi-interesting. The introduction of the six protagonists is detailed, making viewers know who they are watching. They all have very distinct personalities, especially the weird psychopath who is not particularly macho but delivers a spine chilling performance.The rest of the film, I have to say, is not particularly good. I am particularly annoyed and even exasperated by the characters constantly being in the open, when they are in great perils from many gunmen int he facility. Are the six highly trained soldiers really going to discuss their plan of action in the entrance hall of the facility, when gunmen can be marching down any minute? And is Cam Giganget really marching down the middle of a hallway full of dead bodies, as if he is walking down a runway? Do the characters really have to stand right under a spotlight (the scene of Cam Gigandet telling the woman how he loves his daughter), when the bad guy is literally around the corner ready to shoot them? This aspect of the film is so outrageous that makes me super annoyed.Cam Gigandet's face gets more than the fair share of close up shots. While it may be pleasing to the eye, it also exposes his lack of ability to act. Furthermore, the story is very clichéd too. And surprise surprise, who gets the girl in the film? Granted, the lighting of the film is good. However, when that is the only thing that is good about the film, then there is a big problem.

My wife selected this movie and I was initially skeptical due to the relatively unknown actors cast in this movie.I read the handful of reviews after watching it, and I was rather dismayed at the negative comments spread out before my eyes...all except for one review that was in total accord with my impressions of this film. Since all but one review seemed to reflect what I had experienced in this movie, I decided to post a review myself...for the very first time on IMDb. Yes, the actors are relatively unknown for I could not even name one from memory. Nevertheless, they managed to create an action-packed movie that kept me riveted to the chair from start to finish. The main characters all demonstrated widely differing personalities that were easily distinguishable. Somehow, you were drawn to each one - more or less. If you wish to relish the story, avoid over-analyzing the details and simply sit back and enjoy the action-packed ride.Give it a shot....it's truly worth watching!
