Drop Game

It's OK to watch, however one needs to be under influence (of any kind) to get through this cinema jewel.

The plot is moronic and full of holes, acting kinda puzzling.

It is annoying when one waits for a movie promoted as good entertainment, and, when the wait is over... it's a stinker.

Some scenes are openly screaming "eat it, stupid, it's possible" - like the moment involving kid, radio controlled toy car and a gun. Was the gun in kid's toy box?

People get shot, they get up and do heroic things, get stabbed - no worries, thrown against walls... Last question after watching this: WHY? Why such elaborate plot involving home invasion, restaurant takeover, poison, guns, etc.? They could JUST KILL THE TARGET.

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 whole premise of the movie seemed a little convoluted and as the movie goes on it gets messier and more ridiculous.

I think there are too many holes in the plot and the movie is simply seems like a waste of time. It does not get better and only gets worse.

If the plot was better and more realistic than maybe it could be a good movie but the ridiculous and unbelievable plot is what really harms this movie.

On the positive the actors seem capable, the set design and cinematography was good but it's just hard to get over the ridiculous plot. There are too many gaps and I found I was waiting for the move to end. The ending is not worth the wait.

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.

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.
