Dead Drop (2013 Video)
7/10
Compelling, well-acted film in Dead Drop
7 August 2015
Luke Goss turns in his typically gritty, tough-guy performance. Why this guy is mired in B-rate,straight to video films escapes me. He is, essentially, a bald Clint Eastwood or Steve McQueen.

Nestor Carbonell also performs quite well in this, and Caroline Castro is exquisite.

With most action-drama films, this movie takes a while to get there. But once it does, boy... it really goes there.

I don't understand all of the negative ratings. As I write this, it has a 3.9 rating in IMDb. It is much better than that. I give this film a 7/10 only because as a low budget flick, there are some plot holes. But those don't distract from this compelling, if unbelievable story line (and let's be honest--how many flicks in this genre feature the possible rather than the improbable?).

If you're expecting Academy Award stuff, skip this. If you're down for a gritty, thrilling revenge story that's well-acted, settle in and enjoy.
