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.

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...

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