Power brakes minus the power

I have a '93 Cutlass Supreme convertible with power brakes but they are not working correctly. It takes a lot of force to the brake pedal & has increased the stopping distance considerably. Any thoughts?

Assuming they are vacuum assist, I would start with a vacuum leak, possibly the check valve on the booster, or lastly the booster itself.

I had a similar problem with my '95, turned out the vacuum hose going to the booster had gotten very soft, and was collapsing, so I replaced the hose.
