One trend I can totally get behind is the return of '90s-style, nonsensical action films - and 'Drop' is a perfect example of just how fun that can be. It's full of high-stakes chaos, tech-fuelled paranoia, and a plot that spirals in the best kind of way.

The social commentary lands surprisingly well, with the AirDrop-as-menace angle tapping into real digital-age fears. And I loved the video game-esque text placements on screen - bold, stylised, and just the right kind of over-the-top.

The acting? A bit cringe, yes - but intentionally so. Meghann Fahy really leans into the melodrama, and Brandon Sklenar does a great job playing the increasingly bewildered date. Special shoutout to Violett Beane, whose dry delivery added just the right bite.

But a bone to pick: that child actor... GOD AWFUL. It's even more glaring when you think about someone like Owen Cooper in 'Adolescence' - proof that you can cast a young actor who brings genuine weight to the screen. This kid just wasn't it. Still, if you're after a chaotic, neon-tinged thrill ride with something to say, 'Drop' is a blast.

We saw this as a Regal Monday Mystery Movie. So went in there not knowing what we were going to see. We were a little nervous once we found out the title as we do not typically like anything that is too stressful. But we stuck it out and we are glad we did.

I had seen Meghann Fahy in White Lotus and The Perfect Couple. I was not familiar with Brandon Sklenar but he was very likeable in this role.

The movie was fun, entertaining and suspenseful. It kept us guessing right up to the bad guy reveal.

Was it award winning material? No. But it was fun for a date night and we definitely are glad we stayed.

The trailer seemed to give too much away but the clever dialog made it refreshing to watch. Only complaint is that almost every man in the cast is brown haired with a beard so keeping track of many of the characters was confusing. Overall an enjoyable movie and very cleverly written. A great use of tying in what was being delivered via text messages with the images on the screen. So glad to be out of the dating scene now that I'm reminded of what first dates are like. You do feel for all the characters And the view from the restaurant is pretty fantastic. A great small space view with a lot going on.

Although admittedly fairly forgettable, 'Drop (2025)' is a really solid thriller that benefits from a lack of self-awareness and a stylistic execution. Set mostly in a single location, the narrative mixes the anxiety of a first date with the horror of a hostage situation (the former can often feel like the latter, am I right?). Having the lead character be a survivor of domestic abuse adds another layer of cruelty to the lack of control she has over her situation, while also allowing for catharsis if she's able to work through her trauma and emerge victorious. The theme is dealt with gently but directly, never feeling exploitative because it ultimately seems like an attempt at healing rather than a cheap way to increase the suspense of the central situation. Said situation is undeniably silly, but the film treats it with enough sincerity that you don't feel strange about doing the same. It has comedic moments, some of which are genuinely funny, but its humour never undercuts its narrative. It never feels embarrassed of itself, never feels the need to crack wise to let us know it knows it's actually rather absurd. It remains tense and engaging for its relatively brisk duration, even if it does feel like it spins its wheels a bit in its midsection. Christopher Landon directs the heck out of it, playing with focus and lighting to convey stress and hopelessness, using controlled but chaotic camerawork to compound violence, and splashing text across the screen to make its virtual elements feel as real as everything else that threatens to tear its protagonist's world apart. Add to that a delightfully classic yet pulpy score from Bear McCreary, and you get an atmospheric and absorbing little thriller that keeps you hooked for its duration. Its characters are well-rounded, portrayed by charismatic actors who all understand the assignment, and its plot escalates in a satisfying way. It's tightly written, with a couple of crowd-pleasing one-liners and an escalating sense of suspense, and confidently crafted, with crisp cinematography and convincing set design. It isn't the sort of thing that sticks with you for too long, but it does exactly what it needs to and keeps you on the edge of your seat for its majority. It's an enjoyable experience that does quite a lot with quite a little. It's pretty darn good.

Another movie that starts off interesting/intriguing and it was keeping me engaged. The premise although maybe slightly far fetched wasnt stretching boundaries to the point of breaking my immersion so it was going ok....

The about half hour from the end after she finds out who has been tormenting her, the film just descends into absurdity. The final scenes are cliché after cliché, nonsense on top of nonsense. It seems writers really have trouble with endings, I would compare this movie with Trap, it started off with an interesting enough idea but then it's as if the writer couldn't decide how to end it so just went with a mish mash of ridiculous events.

Come on Hollywood, just think about things a little more.

I have mixed feelings on this movie. 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. I can side with either cause I get the love and the hate.

This movie isn't completely original. I can compare elements to Cellular, Phone Booth and even the very recent Carry-On. It's not a new concept to not know who is singling you out.

However, this movie offers some really good elements as well. Although very predictable it does try to throw the audience for a loop a few times and somewhat succeeds.

The acting is all over the place with good and bad moments from everyone so I can't give praise to any of that. The story is kinda lame but it drives the movie from point a to b.

I feel the pacing was well done and helps drive the suspense and the payoff is fun until it takes it too far.

Not a spoiler but when a masked killer removes a mask on screen and the reveal is an unknown character even to our lead then what is the point of even having them unmask? It felt like giving the actor a chance to be seen by his family watching the film and made me laugh during a scene we shouldn't be laughing at.

Also AJ Styles and Undertaker having a cameo through a meme made me laugh and wonder if they can sue for having their picture shown.

Overall this is a good movie but I do think it's a bit over rated. The opening had me ready to give up on the whole movie til I realized it wasn't a jump ahead and was an actual flashback.

It's worth a watch and maybe a rewatch to notice stuff you may have missed but it's not an all time classic as I'll probably forget about this movie within a few weeks or months. 6.5/10 from me.

This film really started okay, with an interesting and somewhat original storyline. There wasn't any dull scene, and the script just flowed fluidly. However, as the film progresses-and especially towards the last half hour-it's just a huge letdown. Way too many non-credible things start happening one by one, and you can either fake being dumb and enjoy the deteriorating credibility of the film, or just be honest with yourself and accept that this is below your level of intelligence.

Quite a letdown. It seems like the screenwriters had a solid initial idea but never thought about how to develop it further, and as the movie progresses, it just becomes an inevitable joke.

Drop fully embraces many facets of modern technology for its twists and turns, resulting in a great Hitchcockian thriller with high stakes on multiple levels. Some of the leaps during the finale come close to pushing it too far but in every other way this a prime example of what a tight 90 minute thriller should be. The tension never lets up, it comes full circle in a satisfying fashion and everything that's set up gets a solid pay off.

Meghann Fahy excels in the lead role. She maintains a constant sense of unease, tries her best to hide all the signs for the sake of those closest to her and attempts to find a solution without making it obvious. Brandon Sklenar is a true ally who clearly wants to do the right thing in this scenario as well as being so likeable and sensitive. Together they have a natural chemistry so you're really rooting for this date to go well despite everything in its way.

Christopher Landon's direction uses the single location that this mostly takes place in to the fullest. It's a classic case of a confined location enhancing the creativity rather than taking it away. Simon Magee's very dramatic lighting adds to all the drama and Marc Spicer's cinematography establishes the space well whilst moving through it in dynamic ways. Composer Bear McCreary delivers a highly suspenseful and stylish score.

Drop was one of the most unexpected Thriller movies watching in 2025. Drop is a thriller movie about a single mother getting threatened by a killer. To start off the premise is pretty stupid but funny. The plot is very simple but very generic. For a low budget of 11m$ the visuals of the movie are immaculate. The directing is one of the biggest positives, Christopher Landon did a good job into making us guess the person threatening the main character.

One of my negatives is that critically the movie is not great. The characters are bland and generic with no character development. The dialogue is kinda awful. In the 2/3 act it got pretty boring and kind of ruined the point of the movie.

In conclusion I give it a 6.4/10, its fun but mediocre.

The first half of the movie is alright. It builds up a bit of a mystery and it's fun to work through possible answers. I sat there in the theater thinking who might have done what, in what order, and to what end, and I enjoy this sort of thing. It's suspenseful when the main character is put in a stressful situation and you can see her try to work through it at the same as you. But then, when things finally start to get resolved... my reaction was something like the guy in that "Son, I am disappoint" meme. To say the script has plot holes is an understatement. It's utterly nonsensical. All you can do is laugh. At the script and at yourself, for thinking this was a case for the Lone Gunmen, when in fact it had been an episode of Scooby Doo all along.

Director Christopher Landon has made two of my favorite guilty pleasure films - "Happy Death Day" and "Happy Death Day 2U" - although I hesitate to even call them guilty pleasures as I find them to be genuinely enjoyable and high-quality movies. His 2020 slasher-comedy 'Freaky' was a fun pandemic-era release, boosted by Kathryn Newton's screen presence and Vince Vaughn's surprisingly great comedic timing. And so, when I discovered that he was directing "Drop," I knew I immediately wanted to check it out, and I did, with my father, during an early access screening. And honestly? It was pretty good.

"Drop" is probably Landon's best directed, most stylish film yet - visually, there is a lot of creativity at play here in terms of atmospheric lighting choices, creative and intrusive editing, and an excellent use of sound (or lack thereof) that highlights tension and underscores drama. There's a real flair here with visual moments that, honestly, I haven't been as emotionally impacted by since "Drive" - one specific scene involving a kiss between two characters was a highlight, as was a conversation where the sound drops to only focus on the words being said. More confident than ever, Landon pushes himself and takes risks here, because while "Drop" is a conventional enough thriller in terms of premise, the execution in both the way the film looks and in the themes it decides to cover are genuinely daring, with the opening scene setting the stage that, huh, maybe this wasn't quite the movie I thought it was going to be.

Before the airdrop shenanigans begin, "Drop" introduces Violet - Meghann Fahy - and Henry - Brandon Sklenar - who are about to go on the most... memorable... first date of all time. Though the the date may not go as planned, the uncomfortable and awkward situation that the characters are thrown in doesn't translate to an uncomfortable or awkward viewing experience because, luckily, Meghann and Brandon have phenomenal chemistry on screen. If I didn't know any better, I'd think that they were in a relationship in real life because they are magnetic to watch, with banter that keeps things fun even as tension starts to build. And it's not just in the things they say to each other, but in the little looks, the first date jitters, the small smiles - that kind of natural chemistry is hard to fake, and it makes their connection feel all the more believable. Of course, if you've seen the trailer, you know that all good things must come to an end, and so, when "Drop" decides to become a thriller, thrill it does.

Quickly turning into a breakneck, white knuckle roller coaster ride, "Drop" is a whodunnit - or more accurately, a who is doing it - that really keeps you guessing until the end of the film. Things just keep on escalating, with situations getting more bizarre and dire; the film keeps upping the stakes, but not so much so that things ever feel too ridiculous or unbelievable. As the characters are engaged in this mystery, you'll find yourself trying to actively solve it with them - who is doing this, why are they doing this, and how in the world will our characters ever manage to answer these questions without getting hurt, or worse? It's a very fun, twisty little story that starts intense and stays that way until the credits roll.

My only real complaint about this movie is that the overall resolution was just kind of, ehh - the explanation we do get isn't bad per se, it's just missing that extra pop, that emotional payoff that could've sent things over the top. I mean, I understand that it's probably difficult to think of a satisfactory and crowd pleasing explanation - I guarantee you that the premise for this movie was thought of first, and the "why" of it all was dreamt up in the writing room - but I was hoping for something that had a bit more of that je ne sais quoi. That said, "Drop" is all about the journey, and the journey is worth taking. I had a really great time with "Drop", and I can't wait to see this again at home on 4k. I highly recommend this, and I hope it makes a killing.

Drop is a really fun thriller. The movie features solid lead performances and both of the main characters are interesting to follow. The movie's main premise is intriguing throughout and the story keeps you guessing. The ending is very entertaining. Christopher Landon did a good job directing and the editing was stellar. The camera work here was very creative and I enjoyed seeing the different shots they came up with. The shots also helped to add to the tension. Overall Drop was a solid thriller with a good amount of comedy and romance also thrown in. I would recommend this one especially if you're a fan of thriller movies.

Saw as early ish screening in RPX even though it'll be out tomorrow that was nice after a shift at regal Stonecrest - I love doing that! I would say Christopher Landon has done better like Happy Death Day 1, 2, and Scouts vs. The zombie apocalypse those hit the spot but Drop was fun entertainment for what it is.

Megan Fahy has stayed busy with Unbreakable Boy not long ago that was a wonderful film, I loved her in White Lotus season 2 glad she's flourishing and the actor that played Henry is refreshing I haven't seen him before. For a whodunnit Drop was definitely a great concept done effectively even if it's a little off it's a solid thrill ride!

Drop started off so well with the whole Whodunnit plot but started going downhill fairly quick. First we start off with some suspense and thriller and the movie keeps us guessing, throwing in different people who could be the perpetrator like your typical Whodunnit movie. But then, and I don't know what happened, but towards the end it turned into a Dwayne Johnson action movie which completely killed my immersion. The reveal of the perpetrator was underwhelming, the acting was kind of subpar at best, the villains are taking their time and stupid as usual. It was just rather disappointing in general. In conclusion... Drop starts off well, and then just goes downhill from there. It's a shame really because I loved his other films such as Happy Death Day and its sequel.

Just Got Out of a Screening of Drop.

What an Embarrassing, at Times Boring and during the Finale, Hilarious Watch. 😂

It got so bad that it became an absolute Embarrassment.

It starts well and then even during the first time they get to the skyscraper restaurant it was good. But after a while it somehow became tedious.

👎 The Longer it went on, the More Ridiculous it got

❌First of all, the date would of left when he realised Violet couldn't stay focused for more than 30 seconds.

🤔Secondly, do the writers think the Audience is Brain Dead? We saw her pour the thing into his Drink 🤦

😂Thirdly, that Finale was an absolute Embarrassment, it literally looked like a Parody.

Are there any positives?

👍 - The Very Ending App Joke was actually Funny.

🎨 - Another thing I did like was the Lighting Cues, the graphics, the sound cues etc During certain moments in the skyscraper restaurant, when she is being tasked to do certain things.

Overall, what an absolute Embarrassment.

Set in Chicago but filmed entirely in Ireland, this story involves the use of phone "air drops" where an anonymous person can send photos and/or messages to another's phone.

Meghann Fahy is Violet, she has a 5-yr-old son and is just starting to date after her husband's death. She is using an ap where you can meet someone virtually then meet up if there is a mutual interest.

Now she is meeting a man, Brandon Sklenar as Henry, at an upscale downtown restaurant. There is a quick mix-up at the bar while she was waiting for him and, as soon as they are seated at a table she starts to get disturbing drops.

As it started, streaming on Peacock, my wife and I weren't sure we would stick with it, but we did and it turned out to be reasonably interesting and entertaining. Much of the movie was Violet trying to find out who in the restaurant area was sending the messages, plus why she was being asked to do something completely against her morals to save her son and her sister who was with him that evening.

It is a fictional story, some of it seemed implausible, but it is well made enough that we don't egret spending the approximately 90 minutes watching it.

First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the movie I liked it, a lot and I was super excited about it. Eventually, it was as good as I had imagined and I enjoyed it, a lot. The movie synopsis was very interesting and mysterious, but it wasn't really innovative because there are many whodunnit movies similar to this one. The storyline was well-written and well-explained, even though it was simple and easy to understand. The main characters were very interesting, well-developed and likeable. The casting choices were nice and their performances were great. The filming location of the movie was mainly inside the restaurant, which was spectacular and the view was to die for. I have to admit, it was an extremely suspenseful movie and I have to say, that everyone is a SUSPECT. The opening scene was definitely unpredictable, fast-paced and promising. The 2nd act was very simple and kinda suspenseful, but it wasn't really intense. However, the 3rd act was definitely the best part of the movie, because it was very intense, action-filled and there were some nice death scenes (even though, most of them were done off-screen). Regarding the cinematography and the score of the movie, they were both beautiful. Last but not least, the ending twist was kinda unpredictable, but it wasn't as well-explained as I would like. Overall, "Drop" was a nice whodunnit film, very intense, mysterious and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

The first movie I thought of when I watched the preview for Drop was the movie Red Eye with Cillian Murphy.

Red Eye was done much better. Likely because the players were more interesting. But also the pacing was as better as well. This was a relatively boring flick. It lacked tension and basically amounted to a woman wandering around a restaurant for an hour. Oh, occasionally, she sat down and then her date got up and wandered. Wandering led to more wandering and then the 10 minute climax.

I think they will make a perfect couple in the end because both of them seem kind of boring indiciduals.

Oh, and the one line where she said her son was 5 going on 13. It seemed to me he was more like 5 going on 3 so that was a little weird.

Have fun!

It was physically painful to watch this movie, and it was so bad that I'm actually going to write a review. Unimaginative, unartistic, lazy writers copying other bad writers causes a strange version of the telephone game for scripts. No research was done, no realism or realistic actions and reactions from characters or objects. Movie trope after movie plot convenience after movie predictability, same old same old but embarrassingly and badly done.

My family said I turned red complaining and making jokes about this garbage. Making fun of this movie was so much better than the actual movie and was worth almost passing out. I would rather pay the ticket price to be allowed to roll up the script and swat the writers with it until they begged me to stop, like I was begging for this movie to stop.

Are you paying attention writers, because I'm going to speak your language and borrow from another movie... "what I have just seen and heard is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever watched. At no point, in this rambling and incoherent mess, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational movie. Everyone in this theatre is now dumber for having watched it. If I could, I would award you no stars, and may god have mercy on your soul."
