One of the worst movies I have viewed this year. An unbelievable script and poor acting means wasted money. Don't waste yours money on this one because it is not worth it. Lack of continuity and things that just "happen" without any follow up. It is very hard to follow this movie and get any sense out of it.
I rate this absolutely awful!!
Don't waste your money. It is not worth the money or the effort. Terrible Terrible
The plot changes so frequently that it is not possible to come up with it. There is no real plot and people pop in and out.

Luke Goss turns in his typically gritty, tough-guy performance. Why this guy is mired in B-rate,straight to video films escapes me. He is, essentially, a bald Clint Eastwood or Steve McQueen.
Nestor Carbonell also performs quite well in this, and Caroline Castro is exquisite.
With most action-drama films, this movie takes a while to get there. But once it does, boy... it really goes there.
I don't understand all of the negative ratings. As I write this, it has a 3.9 rating in IMDb. It is much better than that. I give this film a 7/10 only because as a low budget flick, there are some plot holes. But those don't distract from this compelling, if unbelievable story line (and let's be honest--how many flicks in this genre feature the possible rather than the improbable?).
If you're expecting Academy Award stuff, skip this. If you're down for a gritty, thrilling revenge story that's well-acted, settle in and enjoy.

I like Luke Goss. Most of his movies especially in the last decade has been DTV action stuff but i enjoy his acting, his presence, and sometimes the movies are fairly entertaining for there "DTV status". Sadly this is not one of them.
The story is played a bit as a mystery but the stuff happening never make you want to really know what happened. There is a decent ammount of action scenes and there not "terrible" by any means, but they ain't that interesting because you don't really care about the story. This is the biggest problem of the movie.
The characters, the story, there interactions, everything is not really interesting and by the middle of the movie you will have lost interest.
There is a character showing up in the middle of the movie that is so forgivable and seem to be there to just throw something at our hero because otherwise things would be too easy for him.
This is the kind of movie where you imagine yourself writing it and how much more interesting you could had made it, even with the same budget.
Even if you enjoy DTV action movies and Luke Goss, its a very forgivable movie that you can pass your way upon. I give a 4 because its "watchable", the acting is ok, the directing is ok, nothing comes out atrocious or anything, but its just a very mediocre action movie because the plot is not really interesting.

I can happily report that low-budget, tibia-thrashingly trashy, bullet-brained action movies are still alive and well in charismatic skell-stomper Luke Goss's fabulously fleet fists! While some consider him to be diabolical dross, personally, I think the smoulderingly sexy, sleek-limbed Goss is a legit B-Movie boss! While recycling a far from original premise, 'Dead Drop' remains a serviceable, albeit generic, frequently bloody, seamily south of the border, revenge-fuelled DTV actioner, and I enjoyed the swelteringly sun-hazed Mexico-set backdrop, effectively lending this gritty tale of deadly C. I. A. Duplicity, and righteously unleashed vengeance an ersatz Peckinpah vibe!
Dead Drop's notable faults are that the no less reliable B-Warrior Cole Hauser is criminally underused here, and, frustratingly, the prosaic text is frequently uninvolving. On the upside, capable director R. Ellis Frazier is clearly forged from the same energized B-Movie mettle as martial arts mavens Ernie Barbarash, and Keoni Waxman, since Frazier successfully keeps his freight train of bitter revenge moving at a distractingly swift pace. As a momentary digression, Waxman made the altogether decent Goss-starring actioner 'Killing Salazar', which is arguably well worth a shot for fellow Goss gourmands! All the film's predictably stodgy, Alpha-dude ingredients are luxuriously leavened by the uncommonly sublime presence of dusky starlet Carolina Castro, playing Goss's especially exquisite damsel in distress 'Rosalita'. While I can accept 'Dead Drop' as having somewhat limited appeal outside of the myopic realms of B-Action fandom, this mucho-macho Mexican slug-fest excitingly proves yet again that gorgeously grizzled, steely-eyed Goss is a more than credible contemporary action hero!

i like where the director takes the film, and the shots
if you have not seen it go check it out.
the actors did a good job Luke's acting always good, the cinematography was good, love the direction so i don't want to spoil anything but this is a good action film to watch,
