Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

vincentlynch-moonoi I have good news and I have bad news.The bad news first: This films requires too much suspension of belief to seem at all real. A big example: Wesley Snipes' character learns to sky dive so well in a very short time that he saves a woman falling from an airplane without a parachute. A little example, a bad guy falls from a tall building and happens to fall right through the windshield of another bad guy who is in the process of escaping in a truck.More bad news: Not sure why, but the female actors in this film seem rather pathetic. Maybe they were better in other films, but I found them not the least bit interesting in this film.So, is there any good news? Yes. Most of the cast did not do their own skydiving; that was left to stuntmen (with the exception of Michael Jeter). Nevertheless, you will see some stunning skydiving here, beautifully filmed.More good news: From 1991-1997, Wesley Snipes made a number of films I really enjoyed him; in fact he was for a while my favorite action star. This is one of those films. Michael Jeter, a rather quirky actor, does really well here; a most interesting characterization.The other actors do their jobs here, but don't stand out. Even the unique Gary Busey is up to his role.So, bottom line -- if you are good at suspending belief and just like to watch a fun action film, I'd say this is a good one for you. If you're more down to earth...maybe more than a tad over the line.

Theo Robertson US marshal Pete Nissep and his brother Terry are escorting a prisoner on a plane when it is hijacked . Terry is killed in the shoot out and the gunmen escape the plane by parachute , a feat that leads the FBI to conclude that the hijackers must be dead . Refusing to believe the hijackers are dead and driven by his brother's death Pete enlists the help of Jessie Crossman to find the sky-jackers Wesley Snipes is one of those actors who rarely makes a great movie . The upside of this is that he rarely makes an absolutely dreadful one either and DROP ZONE is keeping with Snipes consistent form in film making if not tax accounting . It's not great , not dreadful but is never as good as it might have been One wonders if the producers were conscious of POINT BREAK from a couple of years previous to this film which also featured subsections of free fall parachuting alongside Gary Busey in a pivotal role . Here Busey plays the villain and the film goes out of its way to present the sky diving as being the major feature of the story , so much so that it overwhelms all the other aspects of the story such as characterisation and plotting . There's only so many times you can watch stunt doubles fly through the air at 120 mph without wishing for a little more substance

tim mercurio OK remember 9/11/2001?? well when Gary Busey made that comment in the movie drop zone about that guy with the scar! about 911 couldn't be happening or some others like that right??? well he made it yet this movies was made in 1994 h'm. people watch this movie carefully i had noticed movies many many years ago about scripts and comments they make, and they ever do so happen in the near future warning warning warning i believe the FBI . and government and people are signing in new levels of hints while living in china and as an ex-pat we teach Chinese students English while teaching we offer keywords this my friends is what you need to do. bare in mind while listening carefully to each script in the movies and watch them carefully time and time again and slow them down if needed to look at the back ground of such other movies esp. when it comes to war.politics,religion,history

Bertramicus I am impressed. We have an intricate plot. We have exciting characters. And we have Busey. Busey dominates the film. I am thoroughly pleased by his hair and his cougar-like movements. Every scene allows a unique perspective of Gary. I am astonished at how the director was able to capture the wild animal inside this man. Many films boast Busey and then fail to really let him out of his artistic cage. Drop Zone verifies my theory that Busey is a fearsome wild animal. It is phenomenal, but I have come to believe that Gary is actually half-man, half-cougar. And this is the film that convinced me. Sure, I had an inkling when I saw Hider in the House. And Plato's Run did more than drop a hint to me that something peculiar was going on with this actor's genetics. But Drop Zone stole my rational response to an unbelievable hypothesis.Snipes is satisfying. His wardrobe offers an intimate portrayal of character. The fashionable collarless tuxedo-style dress shirts reminded me of Monte Carlo or Naples maybe. Snipes seemed to say, "Hey show me a man that looks as good as me and I'll eat him." All in all: this film offers a chemistry between two men. Busey and Snipes embrace cinematic Parachuting almost as well as Reeves and Swayze embraced cinematic surfing. Remarkable.
