The movie "Drop" is a thought-provoking thriller that delves into the darker aspects of modern technology and its potential to disrupt our lives. The film tells the story of Violet, a widowed mother who is trying to get back into the dating scene, and her terrifying experience with anonymous messages on her phone. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that "Drop" is not just a simple thriller, but a commentary on the vulnerabilities of our digital lives. The movie's use of tension and suspense is effective in keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat, as they try to piece together the mystery behind the anonymous drops.

The film's strongest aspect is its ability to create a sense of unease and discomfort, which is reminiscent of classic thrillers. The anonymous messages that Violet receives are cleverly crafted to be both cryptic and menacing, making it difficult for the viewer to predict what will happen next. The movie's pacing is well-balanced, with a steady stream of twists and turns that keep the viewer engaged. The performances of the lead actors are also noteworthy, with Violet's character being particularly well-developed. Her vulnerability and desperation are palpable, making it easy for the viewer to empathize with her situation.

However, the movie is not without its flaws. At times, the plot feels a bit predictable, and some of the supporting characters feel underdeveloped. The movie's themes of digital harassment and stalking are timely and important, but they could have been explored in more depth. Additionally, the film's ending feels a bit rushed, with some plot threads being resolved a bit too conveniently. Despite these flaws, "Drop" is a well-crafted thriller that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seat. With its thought-provoking themes and suspenseful plot, it is a movie that is worth watching, especially for fans of the mystery and thriller genres. Overall, "Drop" is a solid addition to the thriller genre, and its unique blend of digital dread and suspense makes it a compelling watch.
