Drop Zone is an example of a superb production harnessed to a shallow script.

Nothing in the real world, though, will get you to tense up over ``Drop Zone.'' It is strictly a spectator sport...

Rated: 2/5

It's a far-from-innovative premise that's employed to familiar yet consistently watchable effect by filmmaker John Badham...

The incredible flying sequences in DROP ZONE are definitely worth watching, and the stunts are literally off the charts. To be honest though, I just wished it would be a little longer.

A completely forgotten 90's romp centered around a down-on-his-luck cop type learning to skydive. Wesley Snipes was perfectly cast here.
