Drop
A single mother on a first date at a fancy restaurant gets anonymous “drops” on her phone threatening to harm her young son if she doesn’t do something right now: kill her date. Is someone in the restaurant sending the threats? What should she do?
The first hour of this (sort of) Hitchcockian thriller is pretty good. It plays on the dangers of new technology (cell phone texts) by capitalizing on a nice setting (the skyscraper restaurant), clever editing, and an intriguing premise.
Alas and alack, alack and alas, the last act of the film undermines all of those positives by being a) predictable; b) outrageous; and c) insulting to the audience’s intelligence – multiple times. Release: 2025 Grade: B-
Would I watch it again? No.
