GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

vincentlynch-moonoi I have good news and I have bad news.The bad news first: This films requires too much suspension of belief to seem at all real. A big example: Wesley Snipes' character learns to sky dive so well in a very short time that he saves a woman falling from an airplane without a parachute. A little example, a bad guy falls from a tall building and happens to fall right through the windshield of another bad guy who is in the process of escaping in a truck.More bad news: Not sure why, but the female actors in this film seem rather pathetic. Maybe they were better in other films, but I found them not the least bit interesting in this film.So, is there any good news? Yes. Most of the cast did not do their own skydiving; that was left to stuntmen (with the exception of Michael Jeter). Nevertheless, you will see some stunning skydiving here, beautifully filmed.More good news: From 1991-1997, Wesley Snipes made a number of films I really enjoyed him; in fact he was for a while my favorite action star. This is one of those films. Michael Jeter, a rather quirky actor, does really well here; a most interesting characterization.The other actors do their jobs here, but don't stand out. Even the unique Gary Busey is up to his role.So, bottom line -- if you are good at suspending belief and just like to watch a fun action film, I'd say this is a good one for you. If you're more down to earth...maybe more than a tad over the line.

M_Gunsmith Gary Busey once again proves that nobody is as sneaky as Busey. We have ourselves another prime example of this in Drop Zone. Busey's character Ty Moncrief had it all. He was an evil genius, the greatest skydiver known to man, beautiful and of course, sneaky. Gary Busey is so sneaky that he is able to appear from thin air, grab Yancy Butler and growl in her face like a wild animal with nobody ever noticing him. To a man like you or I, this seems almost supernatural. To a cougar man, that's just everyday living. It is clear that Busey is well versed in hunting prey with his animal instincts. Another poster believes that Busey is half man half cougar. I've long thought this myself. Recently, however, I'm starting to believe that Busey is more cougar than man. How else to explain his mane? It's so unkempt and wild. No man, no matter how down and out or crazy has hair that wild. And Busey's grunts and growls are as fierce as any animal you would find in the wild. Certainly no man has ever growled quite like Busey. As time goes on it is becoming more and more clear that Gary Busey is a super species created by science, or from his determination and will power to become part cougar. The only thing that can stop him is if his thirst for the ultimate hunt takes over and the cougar dwelling inside him takes over the man inside him. If this were to happen, may god help us all. For, not only would we lose won of the greats of all time, he would probably eat all of our babies. Truly terrifying and impressive to think about. As for Snipes, he gives a nice performance of a man avenging Theo Huxtable. He goes undercover in the skydiving world to catch Busey. (I know, it's comical to think that somebody could hunt Busey. But movies are fantasy.) In a memorable montage scene Snipes learns all there is to know about skydiving in about five minutes. From there it's a fight between Snipes, with his intense training now the 2nd best skydiver, and Busey the world's greatest skydiver. Who will survive? How many people will Busey eat? How many pairs of drawstring pants will Snipes wear? How many crotches will Snipes punch? I won't give anymore away.

ccthemovieman-1 The only reason I gave this any kind of "stars" is that the story moves well, keeping one entertained. Otherwise, the dialog is so sophomoric and the characters so macho-idiotic, it might make one throw up. Also, the no one is likable in here and the Rambo mentality where the "good" guys never get shot while the reverse happens all the time just adds insult to injury. In other words, this is a typical Wesley Snipes movie of the period.I didn't care for the female lead, either, played by Yancy Butler, who is just too Hollywood '90s- tough and turned me off. An interesting film at times.....but extremely dumb.

callanvass This is a very disappointing Snipes film that has some good action scenes and some great sky diving stunts, however Snipes plays a pussy. All the characters are OK, and the story was decent, and while Snipes is simply amazing in this, i didn't care for his character, he was a pussy, and got his ass kicked throughout the movie,plus the fight scenes are bland, and we never see Snipes incredible martial arts talent!. Yancy Butler and Snipes had great chemistry together, and the plot was good, however the finale was lame. Gary Busey, is surprisingly bland here as the main villain, and looked bored, and i thought the movie could have been an awesome one!, however the opening was fantastic!, and very memorable and disturbing. The 1st half is really good, but falls completely apart in the 2nd, and as i said i was rather ticked, at Snipes's character,he was kind of a wuss, and this guy is an incredible martial artist!. The ending is satisfactory, however there are no thrills and suspense to be had. This is a very disappointing Snipes film that has some good action scenes and great sky diving stunts however Snipes plays a Pussy it's still worth the watch though, but not anything more then that. The Direction is OK. John Badham does an OK job here, with some good camera work, great angles, and he kept the film at decent pace. not much gore except some gunshot wounds. The Acting is very good. Wesley Snipes is AMAZING as always, however his character i did not like he was a bit of a pussy, and he got his ass kicked lots in the film, however he had great chemistry with Yancy Butler and was very charismatic, i just wished he showed off his incredible martial arts ability!. (Snipes Rules!!!). Gary Busey is not his usual fantastic self, he was quite bland as the villain, and looked bored, watch Lethal Weapn and Under Siege, to see him play a fantastic villain! (Busey rules). Yancy Butler is STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS!, and does fantastic here, she had great chemistry with Snipes, is extremely sexy, fantastic in the acting department, and had a very cool character! (Yancy rules). Rest of the cast do OK. Overall worth the watch. **1/2 out of (very close to a ***).
