Editorial Reviews

U.S. Marshal Pete Nessip (Snipes) finds his career in hot water when the prisoner he’s transporting parachutes out of a 747 and disappears safely into the night with his deadly cohorts in tow. While Nessip does his best to stop the bold escape, he can’t stop the force from suspending him. But even this isn’t enough to keep him out of action. Instead he does what he must to track down the cadre of techno-terrorists - even if it means skydiving from 30,000 feet in the air. Co-starring Gary Busey, Yancy Butler and Michael Jeter, DROP ZONE is a rush that will keep your adrenaline pumping from beginning to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars A skydiving movie that really flies high, January 15, 2001

This review is from: Drop Zone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I haven't ever skydived before, but I do like watching movies about skydiving. I also liked "Terminal Velocity," but "Drop Zone" is a lot better. Wesley Snipes stars as a U.S. Marshal who tries to catch some terrorists that hijacked a plane that he was on and their actions resulted in the death of his brother. Snipes believes that it was a set up, but he's the only one that thinks that, so it's up to him to figure it out by himself. To do this, Wesley Snipes learns a new hobby and starts skydiving himself while trying to figure out and catch the terrorists in action.

"Drop Zone" is a good movie. Its plot might be choppy in parts, but that's about the only thing wrong with the movie. The skydiving sequences are the best and most exciting I've ever seen in any movie, and Wesley Snipes is hilarious in some parts such as when he skydives for the first time and screams the whole way down. The movie's soundtrack is another good thing about the movie.

Whether you like skydiving or not, if you like good action movies I recommend getting "Drop Zone."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie!, September 22, 2002

This review is from: Drop Zone (DVD)

I loved this movie. The skydiving stunts are great, and it actually has a plot! Seems most action movies don't even bother with a plot anymore. Wesley Snipes and Yancy Butler did a great job. Their characters are believable, you feel like you're right there. I can't wait to try skydiving myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars When i first saw this mid-air action, it blew me away., July 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Drop Zone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the best Skydiving Action thrillers ever made, Wesley Snipes is brilliant as a US Marshal whoses brother is killed by airjet skydiving terrorists lead by actor Gary Busey, who captures a passenger. Snipes shaken up by his brother's death, decides to team up with skydiving experts, to find the terrorists, and stop them from robbing a high-rised bank on Independence day. This film has great action scenes, special effects filled skydiving sequences, and a good song at the end.
