The Last Drop Reviews:
decent 
2009-10-02 - I can't quite agree with all the negative reviews here on amazon for the Last Drop.
The acting was pretty decent by all the characters. Was the story based on a segment that actually happened during World War II? No... at least I don't think it was. I honestly don't know. Maybe it was and the writers exaggerated it.
I WAS having a bit of trouble understanding which army were the Germans and which ones were the British the entire time. They both played a more important role compared to the American soldiers, who only appeared briefly.
For every good, action packed gun-shooting scene, we had to put up with some questionable scenes that were either an indication that the writers didn't know how to make the action scenes look realistic, or didn't know how to make them flow properly. Or maybe the writers were going for a parody of the entire film. It was honestly confusing to me because I'm not sure what the writers intentions were.
No, the Last Drop is not a quality war movie, but the amount of action, fairly decent acting by all the characters, interesting storytelling, and the plot development were good enough to give the film a passing grade. Was it confusing understanding even HALF the things taking place in the film? Oh yeah, definitely. I still like the movie though, and the two women (especially the brunette) were exceptionally HOT!
The Last Drop ... hopefully long and far! 
2009-07-26 - Unquestionably and without doubt, one of the worst WWII movies ever made. The only good movie Michael Madsen has made in recent memory is KILL BILL. Billy Zane, I don't think, ever personally added anything but poor acting to any movie, including decent movies like ORLANDO, SNIPER, and TITANIC. Cannot understand how producers/directors of movies as bad as this are successful in acquiring funding. A terrible waste of resources. Avoid this one; Turner Classic Movies certainly will!
I knew this would be awful ...
2009-04-11 - ... and it was awful. However, I enjoyed it for the unintentionally funny, morally flawed and politically incorrect film that it was. It was truly embarrassing for me to see Billy Zane, Michael Madsen, Laurence Fox, Alexander Skarsgard and "Rasputin" involved in such a disaster of epic proportions but my stomach muscles got a great work-out from my frequent, almost seizure-like, bursts of laughter. This film failed on every level - plot, dialog, acting, musical score, and pacing. It's not the worst movie I have ever seen but it could possibly be the worst World War II movie I have ever seen. I'm actually thinking of getting this as a gag gift for my ex-boyfriend who loves this era. As bad as advertised.
Better than expected. 
2008-12-28 - I grabbed this off the shelf of my local rental place because I needed a free non-new release in a hurry. I thought it would be horrible so I was actually surprized to find it half decent and worth a rental. It is a little different take on the War genre with a little Kelleys Heroes thrown in. It will never be a classic like that but it was a good movie that doesn't spoon feed you everything up front. And, unlike Tom Cruise in Valkyre, these mostly B movie actors can actually manage convincing accents! Of course, they are not all American actors anyway which helps with the accent thing.
often visually brilliant; inane elsewhere
2008-02-24 - The Last Drop is beautifully filmed-- the lighting, cinematography, and design (the latter especially in the scenes at the German headquarters, a sort of fantasy world of fascist iconography radiating wicked power) are shockingly good-- but inanely scripted and directed.
A triumph of visual design over content (with the exception of the primitive computer generated flying sequences), the people responsible for the actual image deserved a better script, director, score, etc.
