Operation Delta Force 4 - Deep Fault

You have to remember that this film isn't competing with the latest John Woo or James Cameron big budget spectacular. It's competing with the loads of shoddy or indifferent direct-to-video movies that come out each year. Among this crowd, Operation Delta Force 4: Deep Fault stands far above them. There is one main reason for this: ENTHUSIASM. The director really seems to be enjoying himself. He keeps the pace up and puts together quite exciting action scenes with rather stylish and varied visuals (lots of low angles, slow mo, tracking shots, etc). And there are a LOT of action scenes in this movie. It runs 96 minutes or so and close to 60 minutes of it is action! One particular scene runs for close to 25 minutes, going from a chalet gunfight to a ski chase to a busy city street explosion and finally to a tank battle! As you might guess, the production values on this one seem a tad higher than most direct-to-video fare. Lots of location shooting, good lighting, and plenty of vehicles. It's not at the level of a big studio of course.
