Drop Game

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.

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.

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.

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.
