There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

'The Last Drop' ('TLD', 2006) boasts a decent cast with generally spot-on acting in mostly stereotypical roles. 'TLD' depicts a smaller 'what if' scenario loosely based upon historical events of the failed Operation Market Garden from 'A Bridge Too Far' (1977) that inevitably bring comparisons to 'Kelly's Heroes' (1970), 'The Train' (1964), or even an episode or two from 'Hogan's Heroes' (1965-70) & 'Allo Allo' (1984-91). Not a large battle epic, instead 'TLD' is a film that focuses on the personal dynamics of small groups (both allied & axis) & at times attempts to depict the realities/horrors of war with an awkward blend of humor, action, adventure, & drama that is light on suspense. 'TLD' is based upon an intriguing premise with a decent script supported with a plot & characters that lack serious development. Ultimately, the overall production suffers slightly from a mildly distracting soundtrack & some cookie-cutter character acting that produce a 'Call of Duty: The Movie' aesthetic. The biggest detractors of 'Kelly's Heroes' have been noting some similar faults in that film since 1970. Suspend disbelief & lofty expectations & 'TLD' becomes an entertaining heist/war film. Recommended mostly for die-hard fans of the Heist/WWII genre, Billy Zane, Sean Pertwee & Steve Speirs fans, & less so for the curious WWII genre viewer. Action/adventure film lovers will likely be slightly disappointed. For similar themes consider: 'Operation Amsterdam' (1959); 'Three Kings' (1999); 'Soldier of Orange' (1977); 'Castle Keep' (1969); & 'Saints and Soldiers' (2004). Also consider: 'Two Men Went to War' (2002); 'A Woman at War' (1991); 'The Shop on Main Street' (1965); 'Uprising' (2001); 'Mission to Death' (1966); 'Guns of Navarone' (1961); 'Dambusters' (1955); 'Straight into Darkness' (2005); '13 Rue Madeleine' (1947); 'Back Door to Hell' (1964); 'Bitter Victory' (1958); 'Sahara' (2005); 'The Fallen' (2004); 'Army of Shadows' (1969); 'Resistance' (2003); & 'March or Die' (1977).

I really enjoyed this movie.Great action.An excellent story.There does not seem to be enough movies like this these days.I like the way the different characters in the movie all came together in their own search for the Nazi loot.Greed certainly knows no bounds.I can imagine that an episode like this would have happened during WW2.As far as I know there are still 36 crates of Nazi gold still unaccounted for somewhere in the Bavarian Alps.All in all a great movie,excellent acting.Its a pity that some of the lesser known actors in this movie are not seen in more movies.Another movie along similar lines is Operation Amsterdam also a great story loosely based on real events.

This was like a bad, bad dime novel come to the big screen. What utter crap. It's obvious they did not use a military consultant, or if they did, the producers were taken for a long ride, because there was next to nothing accurate about the portrayal of things military. The inaccuracy list is far too long to go through, but just looking at the American paras, they weren't wearing jump gear, the 101st lt. colonel had a leather flight jacket and a class A officer's cap? Almost to a man the Americans are armed with Thompson submachine guns? The rock music only adds to the schlockiness of this movie, I'm surprised there wasn't a chase scene on skateboards or bmx motorbikes. I think the producers were trying to emulate "Kelly's Heroes" but fell so far short, it's pathetic.

"The Last Drop" is rather amusing. That is, if you see this movie as an WWII-spoof. An epic on a shoestring. As a Dutchie, I thought the Rumanian landscape was hilarious. Could this be Utrecht, or "de Veluwe", the Dutch National forest??? The Rumanian windmills were a sight for sore eyes...:-( What I did appreciate were the small details like "Centraal Museum Utrecht" on some trunks loaded with - stolen - artifacts. Alas, the fact that any waterplane could land long enough to load up a bunch of stolen Rembrandts and Vermeers is quite ludicrous. You only have to view Paul Verhoevens "Zwartboek " (Black Book) to know that during WWII the Germans had more or less total aircontrol over the Neverlands. For us "Dutchies" this is surely Cult-entertainment....? The name Saskia rings true, but a Dutch resistance-girl named "Benita"? Most British actors deliver their lines as if p(l)aying homage to "A bridge to far". No pun intended.. If this is supposed to be "Holland/the Neverlands", the Moon is most certainly a nice round ball of Gouda cheese....As we say in Dutch... "Krijg nou wat.." Having wrote this...the sight of Michael Madsen as "JT Colt" makes one think of French fries, drowned in mayonaise. (Pulp Friction?..:-) And he wasn't even in that movie...:-(
