Drop - Tödliches Date

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 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.

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.

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.
