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."

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.

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.

Basically, this plays like any other Wesley Snipe's movie. The bad guys under-estimate him so they get dealt with. Whats the difference with this one then, this one is actually good. It has good one-liners, a good-looking female lead that people would've actually heard of and, there's top action to boot. What more do you want from a movie I hear you ask?

Well, there is more and that is the soundtrack. What surprised me was that there's a lot of good rocky, funky tunes on there that fit in perfectly with the action on the screen.

Let me tell you about the action. It's excellent! Even if you're not a sky-diving fan, this will make you want to take it up. You always know when a films good and that's when you want to be or do what that actor is doing in the film. Drop Zone achieves this with flying colours.

One problem with this film however is that some of the effects are now looking a bit ropey. This, thankfully, is only on about a total of 5 seconds worth of effects from the whole film. This is quite an achievement considering that the film is all about effects and stunts. What do you expect, it is about sky-diving after all.

In complete, this film is a good, all-round action film even if you don't know anything about sky-diving or even if you don't have an interest in sky-diving.

For this price, you can't go wrong!

This movie besides being action packed conveys the excitement of skydiving to the viewer in an astoundingly real way. It is a must see movie for anyone that has or wants to ever skydive!

I just recently watched this film and I nearly dropped dead, from how awesome this movie is. Every actor/actress in this film is completely in the zone the entire time. Not one of them drops a line or zones out for even a millisecond. My friend dropped this movie off the other night and I was getting a little bored of playing Zone of the Enders so I decided to drop the disc into my DVD player. As the laser zoned in onto the disc, action packed poetry in motion erupted onto my HD television (which has a general viewing zone of 31.5"). The first skydiving scene absolutely blew me away. So much so that I accidentally dropped my Pizza Hut PaZone on my lap.

The pacing of this film is impeccable and never drops a beat. The only thing really lacking in the pacing was heart pounding tunes dropping every couple of minutes, such as Kenny Loggins, Highway to the Danger Zone. I don't want to drop too many hints and spoil the thrilling ending to this film but it is definitely one to remember. The first thing I did after finishing the film was look it up on IMDB to see how many awards it won. Needless to say, my jaw dropped when I saw that this film had won nothing. I said to myself, "what am I in the the Twilight Zone or something?"

My "no spin zone" final review of this film is A+. The DVD version looks drop dead gorgeous on an HDTV. I also highly recommend ordering this movie on Amazon. They will drop ship it speedily to your front door within a day!(depending on when you place your order and what time zone you are in)

as actions go this one is pretty good. the action is fast paced and the movie does not hang in any area. the aerial filmwork is excellent and addictive. if you were considering skydiving this movie might make you do it. the music is fair but does suit the movie well. if you enjoy snipes movies then you will probobly enjoy this one.

This could have been a five-star film. But the directors excised Wesley and Yancey's love scene (it didn't fly with test audiences, pun intended), and these two have tremendous chemistry (plus, any chance to see Yancy Butler nude must be pursued). But the stuntwork is incredible, and even the hokiest stunt -- Snipes' mid-air pursue of a parachute-less Butler -- is romantic. Great INXS song at the end of the flick.

Drop Zone is a good movie but almost or actually implausible(yes it's just a movie),Mainly a Sky-Diving movie the year it came out,one to two other similar movies came out(terminal velocity which I saw in the theater being one.)
the movie is long but the action is good and My favorite scene is the jump from the Southeast Financial Center building(called at the time or known as First Union Building then another name now Wachovia.) which was the tallest building at the time in the southeast and in Miami before the hideous Skyscrapers dotted the skyline and blocked the sun in downtown. that's one of the highlights for me in the movie.

U.S. Marshall Pete Nesbitt and his brother, Terry also a marshall is escorting a computer criminal Earl Leedy when all of a sudden a highjacking on the plane they are on occurs. Now Leedy and Terry are sucked out of the plane when Pete discharges his weapon and a hole in the plane is made. Nesbitt is blamed for the whole thing and is suspended. Now Terry's dead and Leedy, whose body hasn't been found is believed to be. But what they don't know is that Leedy is now with some people who want to use his computer skills. Pete doesn't believe that Leedy is dead and that the whole thing was to spring Leedy. So he turns to Jess Crossman, a skydiver, for help on who may have done this whole thing. "Drop Zone" is an action ride from start to finish starring Wesley Snipes as a detective hunting down the men who killed his brother. Ff you want something to enjoy for a couple hours of visual fun. This movie will do quite nicely. Enjoy this hearty action movie.
