2.5/4
Drop Zone is an example of a superb production harnessed to a shallow script. Go to Full Review

Nothing in the real world, though, will get you to tense up over ``Drop Zone.'' It is strictly a spectator sport... Go to Full Review
David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Apr 27, 2019
3/4
It's a far-from-innovative premise that's employed to familiar yet consistently watchable effect by filmmaker John Badham... Go to Full Review

Rey L Jan 11, 2018 A cinematic tour de force - who needs CGI when you've got a camera and a couple of parachutes? Stellar performances from the ensemble cast. Special kudos to the wardrobe department with the Jamz pants. Must see. See more
Leia S Apr 27, 2017 Just as bad as the other skydiving film (Terminal Velocity) that was released the same year if not more so considering the great work those on screen or behind the camera have done before or since. Snipers is a likable lead, the rest of the cast is decent, I like the score by Hans Zimmer and some of the action is okay however the tone of the film is a mix of goofy and cheesy. There are also so many implausible moments right down to when the villain gets killed in the most laughably bad and impossible way. The script is also hopeless and the CGI is poor. See more
Hagrid R Oct 9, 2015 Pretty good typical 90's action film. Wesley Snipes did well. The Skydiving sequences was very well made and i also enjoyed the music played throughout, See more
