gary-1070 I only watched the first few minutes of this film before discarding it so you might want to read some of the other reviews before taking much notice of this. The accent of the Parachute Regiment Captain was unrecognisable. They call the film the last drop but were in a glider. On their way to Arnhem (Market Garden) before diverting for another operation without any pre briefing to those involved. I may be mistaken but I don't believe any members of the Paras were delivered by glider and in the glider there was a motley collection on different badges. I considered if they could get so much wrong in the first few minutes there would be plenty of opportunity to get loads more wrong and I have taken the pledge not to rant at the TV any more....shame, because done properly with the modicum of research this could have been good.

Mark Hale A pointless mishmash of war movie and heist movie. This sort of thing has been done so much better in movies like "Kelly's Heroes". There is nothing of any quality in "The Last Drop". Actors put their best pantomime accents on. Laurence Fox's stock Nazi villain sports the obligatory duelling scar on his cheek. American talent Billy Zane emails in a performance from somewhere near San Francisco. Uniforms look like fancy dress. Vehicles are mostly postwar Eastern Bloc.Everything about this movie screams "Cheap"! "The Last Drop" is proof that the most talented actors are prepared to do pretty much anything for money.

siderite The first thing you notice in this film is the low budget. The special effects are rather lame, the filming is in Romania and the actors are known low budget TV actors like Michael Madsen, Sean Pertwee, Billy Zane and then only rising Alexander Skarsgard. But the second thing one can't help but notice is that there are a lot of "meaty" characters in the film, no cardboard roles, each one with a story and complex motivations.Even if the story is a bit silly at times, it manages to remain entertaining and having the viewer root for all sides. It is not original in its idea of soldiers trying to make a quick buck during "the fog of war", but the details of the story make it fun.So, in conclusion, once you get off your high horse and accept this is a low budget TV movie, you can thoroughly enjoy the film.

bruges-952-146477 Let me start by saying I picked this movie up for $3 at a used book store. And frankly, I do not regret it. There is an interesting quality about this movie that leaves me satisfied with the movie experience. It starts with expectations. When your marquee actors are Billy Zane and Michael Madsen, no matter how high budget the DVD case would like you to believe it is, you know going in that it is a B-Movie. Kind of like anything with C. Thomas Howell in it. So if you go in expecting a Saving Private Ryan, that is your oversight, not the makers of this film. Clearly in the aerial shots and crash scene at the beginning, one gets a good idea as to the "budget". There is nothing quality about this movie except maybe the true events surrounding the plot. I'm a fan of art and art history and WWII provides numerous interesting stories about art theft and art rescue. However, whereas the quality of the movie stinks, it's at least interesting. Low-B actors, recognizable character actors from bigger movies (see Tommy Flanagan in Braveheart), bad accents, poor dialogue, and to make matters worse the movie can't decide what it is going to be. Initially it starts out as a serious war movie and by the end of the movie, it had tried to become a Guy Ritchie film. Somewhere in the middle as the Germans steal a truck, hard rock music starts playing and the whole tone of the movie changes. Regardless of how bad this movie is, it is still an enjoyable time waster just to immerse yourself in bad movie-making.
