Military
Misfits Take Shot at Redemption in High Body-Count Splatterfest
Black
Site Delta is a micro-budget production most reminiscent of The Dirty
Dozen (1967). Like that classic action flick, the action-oriented
tale of redemption revolves around the patriotic exploits of a
rag-tag team of convicts.
However,
given the film's financial constraints, it features a team of 6
instead of 12 protagonists. They are led by Jake (Cam Gigandet), a
vet suffering from PTSD who, at the point of departure, lands in a
military prison following a bar fight. He soon discovers that the
place doubles as a black site kept off the radar of the general
public.
His
fellow inmates are other disgraced soldiers, such as Simms (Benjamin
Charles Watson), a former drone pilot incarcerated for refusing to
drop a bomb on a terrorist at a child's birthday party full of kids.
Truth be told, the facility has been hijacked to secretly serve as
the command center for a treasonous operation employing a weapon of
mass destruction.
Apparently,
one Colonel Irving (Michael Dale) has gone rogue and is now doing the
bidding of an Afghan warlord named Khan (Arash Mokhtar). Once that
fact comes to light, Jake recruits Simms, his love interest Vasquez
(Teri Reeves), and a few other cellmates with the hope that their
heroics might lead to full pardons. What ensues is a spectacular
splatterfest worthy of John Woo or Sam Peckinpah.
Thus
unfolds Black Site Delta, a gratuitous snuff flick laced with lots of
gory kill shots. The movie marks the directorial debut of Jesse
Gustafson who does a decent enough job to satiate the bloodlust of
fans of the high body-count genre.
A
"Dirty Half-Dozen," tailor-made for folks who appreciate
scene after scene of incessant slaughter.
