The Last Drop (2006)
6/10
In the Dutch mountains?

"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...:-(
