Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Drop Zone is an example of a superb production harnessed to a shallow script. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 1/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Nothing in the real world, though, will get you to tense up over ``Drop Zone.'' It is strictly a spectator sport... Rated: 2/5 Mar 28, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews It's a far-from-innovative premise that's employed to familiar yet consistently watchable effect by filmmaker John Badham... Rated: 3/4 Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's the most convincing and well-staged skydiving film ever. Rated: B- Nov 13, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Jamie T Always loved this film. Wesley Snipes at his pomp. Musical score will play in your head for years to come. Great idea and executed well, good characters and easy to watch. A solid go to from me, when lost for choice. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Cody W 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review isa e Was fun, but far fetched, poorly acted but still worth a watch on a free streaming sites, action is good and well crafted Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review John A A completely forgotten 90's romp centered around a down-on-his-luck cop type learning to skydive. Wesley Snipes was perfectly cast here. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Charlie D Low budget type production. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 41 minutes ever!!!!!!!! Starring Wesley Snipes as Pete Nessip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gary Busey is Ty, the evil mastermind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
