Black Site Delta (2017)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Best movie ever!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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

OK, Let's start this out honest. This wound up in my wife's Netflix queue, and neither of us remembered putting it their. Had 90 minutes to kill, figured, "Whats the worst that happens?" It starts out with "The guy from Burlesque" as my wife referenced Cam Gigandet. Talk about a hackneyed setup... Black ops guy in a bar with a stuffed animal for his daughter that he hasn't seen in a long time. Thugs get angry cause bartender is flirting with him, fight ensues. Somehow we instantly go from parking lot murder fight, to Jake (Burlesque guy) in a black site prison, with open bars where everyone can talk.... And talk they do. We get a stilted introduction for all of our main players in some really bad exposition. It's a black site. No one knows where exactly. Everyone is really bad. Suddenly, some English military guy is leading a raid on the place, and winds up breaking into this base. He comes to the prison, and we find out (Shocking) he and Jake have backstory. For all his bluster about how these warriors were being treated... English military guy leaves everyone locked up. We now have some contrivance about this being a black site, and that the CRT is over two hours away, so our prisoners who have now gotten out of their cells on their own, decide to help thwart the terrorist assault.I'm not going to pick apart everything that is wrong with this movie from here on. Let's say production quality was on the low side. I can live with that. I don't need a ton of CGI to make me happy, in fact, sometimes no CGI is better. There are some continuity/consistency issues that are really hard to ignore. Our sniper has picked up a miracle sniper rifle with unlimited ammo. It is pretty glaring, honestly. The other biggest inconsistency is there is a plot contrivance to hold our protagonists in place for 30 minutes while a drone is flown towards it's closest landing place in Florida. It can not be crashed,or even able to fly below 20,000 feet without a landing facility... But a couple button pushes when it is literally on descent in Florida, and less than 5 minutes later it is outside NYC... And folks who can barely crawl from a gunshot, getting into a fist fight, and then getting shot 3 more times, and it seems to not even slow them down. Inconsistent is all I'm saying here. A continuity editor paying attention would have been really helpful to this movie.Now, for the acting. Across the board, it is not too bad. Sure, everyone is basically playing a caricature, but that is something that was expected here. I can't even blame the actors for that, since it appears to be the way they were written, and directed. No ones acting really jumped me out of the movie as bad. The General though, he was really bad. I don't know if the director told him to act like that, but he was the stand out not really believable character and actor.This could make a great drinking game though, as it was fun to bitch at, and not bad in general.

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.

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.
