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.

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.

I am really surprised the story-line for this movie on here begins with "Starring Cam Gigandet" as if he is Brad Pitt. Or even Aaron Eckhart. He is a nobody. The bad guy from Twilight is the epitome of his career. And his acting in this film makes that point very obvious. The whole thing was sloppy from beginning to end. The acting was so bad it is surprising these people were actually paid to do this. I recommend watching indie films on YouTube, because at least some of those come off made with integrity. This thing is just a waste of time. For anyone who watches it and everyone who put money and energy into it.

I'm watching this right now and I am fighting to get to the end of it. A by the numbers script can work with decent acting which is completely absent anywhere in this movie. Add ridiculous scenarios and the lowest of production values into the mix and this movie is right at the top of the list to deservedly sink without a trace. Garbage simple as that.

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 ...

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!

Which is kind of rare these days

Low budget action flick, acting is in the ok to mediocre range, action music is done well, sound effects are done well, dialogue is easy to understand, lighting is ok

Some blood, Lots of F words, some smoking, no drugs alcohol or nudity

Some of the characters seem uninspired, others were ok

all in all I did not enjoy the movie, it did not seem inspired

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.

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

Terrible don't waste your time This is one of the worst action movies I have seen I rated minus one star

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

(2017) Black Site Delta ACTION

War Vet Jake (Cam Gigandet) gets knocked out after a brawl from a bar, he ends up in a military prison along with 5 other people all locked up for different reasons. It is during then a contracted mercenary lead by Colonel Irving (Michael Dale) breaks into the military prison compound for the intention of controlling a dangerous drone motivating six prisoners to break out of jail for the intention of preventing this from happening.

Because some of the military men locked up are locked up for a reason some resort to helping the hired mercs themselves,with the action scenes being second rate and uninspiring.

Very predictable, illlogical escapes, inconsistency. I honestly don't think I've seen a movie worse than this.

The first thing I did after seeing it was go check the ratings, and of course it was a 3/10. If only I had seen the ratings before throwing away 90 minutes of my time

It is vey obvious how war lords and independent private military contractors use ideological and political aims to maximize positive results in terms of money and influence in different war zones of the globe in this case Afghanistan England and the United States

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.

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.

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.
