I first and foremost loved the composition of the shots. I believe at some point an audience or in some cases a group of friends in a theatre decide how far they are willing to peel back the layers of a film to enjoy the time spent watching a movie. Dropa has plenty of layers and the shots help us not stick to just the surface plot but dig in and see what all the bells and whistles are hiding and in this film it's more bells and whistles but with more grit and backbone than we expected. The director plays his cards well by stepping close to his inspiration of Blade Runner without crossing over to the obvious. He proves the film to be a bow to the great film noir Sci Fi while offering something fresh. I am very proud to see this come out of Houston and every bit of it was worth my time to nestle in and watch another world come alive on the silver screen. Dropa is well acted the audio is very strong the story is read well but makes you want to pick up carrots on a second watch and all and all this movie is beautiful moving art thanks in large part to the D.P. composing and balance his subjects and allowing light to dance.
