Drop is a Hitchcockian-type film set in the world of cell phones.

According to IMDB, “A widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.”

Is this overly ridiculous? Yes. Is the story difficult to believe? Yes. Are there a ton of coincidences that had to happen for things to work out as they did? Of course. None of that bothered me. I was entertained.

I did enjoy the chemistry between Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar. Was Sklenar’s Henry the most patient and understanding man in the world? Absolutely. I would have been so out of there way before this.

This was, for the most part, a one location setting for the film and the restaurant made a solid place for this adventure. I thought there were a lot of fun secondary characters who could be the antagonist and a bunch of them that were red herrings.

There was some dark reasons behind Violet’s past, which was a tough to watch at times. I did like the back story that we got.

There felt like there was a lot of reasons why this movie should not have been very good, and yet I found myself really enjoying it. I suspended my disbelief and found myself entertained.
