Drop Zone (1994)
Director: John Badham
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
After Demolition Man and Sugar Hill, action hero Snipes plummets to earth in this sky-diving picture. Busey is characteristically out of order as the leader of an aerial team that swoops into Drug Enforcement Agency offices and downloads information about their undercover agents. The crooks then sells the information to drug barons, who in turn arrange for the exposed DEA agents to disappear. So US Marshal Snipes and his fearless partner (Butler) take to the skies in pursuit of the bad guys. Some spectacular sky-diving sequences, but a very unpersuasive story.Author: NF
