  • Awesome Music: It’s Hans Zimmer, what did you expect? The best ones are “Too Many Notes, Not Enough Rest” and “After the Dub”. There's also INXS's "The Strangest Party" in the end credits.
  • Complete Monster: Ty Moncrief is a rogue DEA agent who hijacks a plane, killing over a dozen innocent people, and nearly destroys the airliner with hundreds aboard in order to escape. Killing multiple security guards and DEA agents along with way, Ty reveals his ultimate plot is to steal into the DEA headquarters with a hacker and download all the names of the DEA's undercover agents, before selling them out to the cartels and criminal organizations to be killed and tortured while he skips town with the money.
  • Funny Moments: Pete's first drop with Jessie. She dumps him out of the plane with a bomb-bay door, enjoying his nonstop panicking all the way down, and they land safely... In a swamp. Then when she asks how he felt about his first time, he just stares at her blankly for a second... And promptly decks her with a single haymaker.
  • So Okay, It's Average: Despite the presence of Wesley Snipes and Gary Busey and the great-looking skydiving scenes, this is just a standard action film, with really nothing in particular that sticks out.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: There are too many plot points (especially the titular "drop zone" event in Washington, D.C.) that showcase this is a film created before 9/11.
