Such a frustrating disappointment

Just what I expected

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

Absolute waste of money even on DVD. Only watch this if you have a penchant for extremely bad dialogue. In fact it is quite simply some of the worst script writing efforts I have ever witnessed on a movie with a larger budget. You could also watch it if you are writing a guide to the worst movies ever made, or a list of the best ways to waste millions of dollars.Realising that I would have to write ten lines on this movie has filled me with woe, for the very fact that I may have to actually revisit it; you see it has been some time since I actually saw the movie! However, I do remember at the time that it seemed a particularly sad descent for Michael Marsden, who had fine performances as a villain in Kill Bill I and II.

"The Last Drop" is rather amusing. That is, if you see this movie as an WWII-spoof. An epic on a shoestring. As a Dutchie, I thought the Rumanian landscape was hilarious. Could this be Utrecht, or "de Veluwe", the Dutch National forest??? The Rumanian windmills were a sight for sore eyes...:-( What I did appreciate were the small details like "Centraal Museum Utrecht" on some trunks loaded with - stolen - artifacts. Alas, the fact that any waterplane could land long enough to load up a bunch of stolen Rembrandts and Vermeers is quite ludicrous. You only have to view Paul Verhoevens "Zwartboek " (Black Book) to know that during WWII the Germans had more or less total aircontrol over the Neverlands. For us "Dutchies" this is surely Cult-entertainment....? The name Saskia rings true, but a Dutch resistance-girl named "Benita"? Most British actors deliver their lines as if p(l)aying homage to "A bridge to far". No pun intended.. If this is supposed to be "Holland/the Neverlands", the Moon is most certainly a nice round ball of Gouda cheese....As we say in Dutch... "Krijg nou wat.." Having wrote this...the sight of Michael Madsen as "JT Colt" makes one think of French fries, drowned in mayonaise. (Pulp Friction?..:-) And he wasn't even in that movie...:-(

This is really something tough to follow, and it all is presented in a rather pointless manner to start with. There is some big treasure that a whole bunch of folks want to get their hands on, and it's all set in Holland during WW2, which makes for obvious good guy/bad guy models. The first half is just a conglomeration of who all is after this treasure without any real justification as to why. Mostly pretty convoluted and real hard going. Lots of nice scenery, Romania makes a great WW2 setting, as it's probably changed little since 1945. If you can tough out the first 2/3 of this, the finale is pretty interesting and well-done, with 5 different groups going after the treasure. Michael Madsen seems off the ball here. It really seems like he'd been drinking on the set and is buzzed in a couple of scenes, plus he has either a bad toupee or bad hair-dye job. He tries some kind of John Wayne-Patton combo army officer with not much success. Should have forgotten this paycheck. And someone should have told the writer and director that the audience wasn't in on the story sessions, so we can't assume story lines we don't know that aren't shown or well-told.
