A pointless mishmash of war movie and heist movie. This sort of thing has been done so much better in movies like "Kelly's Heroes". There is nothing of any quality in "The Last Drop". Actors put their best pantomime accents on. Laurence Fox's stock Nazi villain sports the obligatory duelling scar on his cheek. American talent Billy Zane emails in a performance from somewhere near San Francisco. Uniforms look like fancy dress. Vehicles are mostly postwar Eastern Bloc.

Everything about this movie screams "Cheap"! "The Last Drop" is proof that the most talented actors are prepared to do pretty much anything for money.

It's been said that in "The Dark Knight" the forces of darkness spent as much time behind the camera as they did in front of it. Well, fair enough. Christopher Nolan doesn't direct light romantic comedies. If you're looking for a standard comic book franchise movie, there's loads of thinly-veiled toy adverts out there. "The Dark Knight", however, follows the graphic novel trend of the 80's & 90's, catering for a sophisticated adult audience. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to sit through a 2-hour toy advert (even "SpiderMan 3") and walk out humming the theme tune, but I've reached a stage in life where I also like to be treated as an adult rather than a source of revenue when I go to the cinema.
