“Drop Zone” is the kind of movie that is the kind of film that is so preposterous you should laugh at it but the weak script hammers it down until it becomes a bland experience and that is a real a shame.

In “Drop Zone”, a group of skydiving crooks led by an ex-D.E.A. agent (Gary Busey “Lethal Weapon”, “Under Siege”) board a 747 commercial flight and kidnap a computer genius, make the whole thing look like a hijack and parachute to safety from 30,000 ft. (without any form of coat). Everybody is fooled except for U.S. marshal Pete Nessip (Wesley Snipes “Demolition Man”, “Blade”), who was on that flight and now must enlist the help of some skydivers to catch the bad guys.

Wesley Snipes is a good actor and a good action star but here is just ruined by the script which never enables the characters to say things that match the silliness level of what they are doing. Gary Busey, who is not a particularly great actor but he is always a good bit of fun playing totally insane people. Lots of the film involves skydiving and some of the shots look about as plausible as a Mickey Mouse cartoon.

“Drop Zone” has a good premise and some good casting choices for a decent action film but it never gets the script sorted out. This film contains two stupid death scenes that defy any laws of physics known to mankind, the first has a skydiving crook electrocuted to death and the last will leave you saying “No way could that truck have been travelling fast enough”. The film should be filled with cheesy one-liners but instead we just get an astounding level of blandness in the dialog, also this film is in desperate need of fight while skydiving because just showing basic skydiving can get boring quite quickly.
