Review of The Last Drop (2006) by James H — 21 Jan 2006
The movie is set in WWII during Operation Market Garden in Holland 1944,.
The story begins with one glider breaking away from the others to accomplish a top secret mission (Operation Matchbox) to save priceless art and treasure from the Nazis before it's taken to Germany.
After seeing 2 different trailers for the film before going to see the finished result,i thought I had worked out the basic storyline/plot,however I quickly realised that there was more to this film than meets the eye with twists and turns along the way.
The acting is excellent with strong performances from all of the cast,i thought Laurence fox(as SS major Kessler)was a cold and sinister character,which fitted in very well with the storyline.Billy zane played a heroic glider pilot,Michael madsen has a surprisingly big part(about 20 minutes)as a gun-ho American.Nick moran's character provided most of the laughs,whilst Tommy flanaghan played a stereotypical scot(always drunk!).even David ginola whilst not having many lines was very impressive.Neil newbon played a corporal with a hidden agenda,whose character expands as the story unfolds.
The action runs along at a furious pace,and has a good amount of humour which got a few laughs during the film.
I thought this was an excellent action film which will appeal to both males and females(put it this way,my wife is not keen on war films,and she enjoyed this film due to the storyline/comedy moments of the film).
Enjoy.
