In this podcast, we analyze the 2025 cyber-thriller “Drop” by Christopher Landon, starring Meghann Fahy and Henry Campbell.
We note that while the initial premise, single location, and performances by Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar are strong, the film is undermined by plot holes and a shift to an implausible, action-heavy climax. Ultimately, we conclude that “Drop” is a missed opportunity and an average film due to its execution issues.
Plot:
“Drop”, directed by Christopher Landon, is a gripping cyber-thriller. Violet Gates, a widowed mother, ventures on her first date in years with charming photographer Henry Campbell.
At an upscale Chicago restaurant, anonymous AirDrop messages escalate from playful to threatening, forcing Violet to question Henry’s intentions and fight to protect her son. With taut suspense and clever visuals, the film delivers a modern whodunit.
