Dead Drop (2013)

for me, this movie was a "close but no cigar". not a blockbuster but a reasonable tale.my spoiler alert though is the ending. after building up to a number of possible endings, it just kinda fizzed, which was a shame.the movie really had potential in my mind it's definitely not a blockbuster, i think a "worth watching", but the end left me disappointed.i thought the acting and the direction was quite OK. it wasn't Spielberg, but it was OK.i guess if you're after a "feel good" ending, then this isn't the movie for you.

hello all my name is Romane Simon a filmmaker i watch the film twice and i like itlike all movies something the first 15 minute of a film always kind of slow, but its to establish the story,this film capture me from the beginning till the endthe beginning to the end if you really take your time and watch the film without just watching it to critics it you will enjoy it,i like where the director takes the film, and the shotsif 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,

Luke Goss is a good almost Jason Statham most of the time. This time it is almost Statham in one of his lesser roles. Suspend all reality if you wish to enjoy this one. It has the action, and the tense musical score, but it falls on it's face every time it tries to be a complete story. This almost unreal CIA "partner" could be left out of the story altogether if he wasn't needed to stop things from being too easy for Goss' character. oh well. it's new, and it's there so what are you gonna do? The shame of it is the effort that you can see went into making this, and it really would have been more Enjoyable with more work on the story, the people in front of, and behind the camera seemed to be trying hard to make it work anyhow. I do not really recommend this movie, I just think it should be a maybe for someone who just likes action, and cares nothing for plot.

This movie can compete for best (worst?) turkey of the century! Plot: Bad guy (Carbonell) throws Good guy (Goss) out of a plane. Good guy survives the fall from 3000 feet. How? Why? Who cares? Anyhow, once upon a time, Good guy and Bad guy were close. But Good guy allegedly stole money from Bad guy. So Bad guy kidnaps Good guy's love interest. Good guy then kills a bunch of people in order to recover the girl (good thing we know he's Good from the start, cause it'd be *really* hard to tell from the plot). He succeeds, but then the girl gets shot by "Even better guy", who happens to be the CIA handler of Good guy (?) At least I think so, because by then I was more fascinated by my cat's grooming habits than I was by the plot. Anyhow, the girl survives because Good guy had the brilliant idea of driving around with a teenage boy locked up in his trunk, and - fortunately - the boy turns out to be a budding surgeon. Meanwhile, Bad guy walks around crying, staring at horses while emotionally holding his gun. All his lines are variants of "Why did you betray me, we were BFF" and "Where's my money? Give it back". Even primitive computer-generated dialogues could do better than that! The scene where Good guy gets thrown off the plane is repeated several times, for "artistic effect"(?) By the time you find out who wins, you won't give a damn.Sad thing is that the actors aren't intrinsically bad (they've demonstrated their acting skills elsewhere). I guess they needed the paycheck. But how the writers, director etc managed to find money to produce this is incomprehensible. Glad I didn't pay to watch this flick, and could click on ffwd!Oh, b.t.w. this is the first time I bother to post a review, but - as immodest as it may sound - this review will still be better than the movie...
