Warning: Major SPOILERS forDrop.
Its difficult to argue withDrops positive reviews.
The movie combines nail-biting paranoia with a delightfully dark sense of humor.
EvenDrops movie soundtrackincludes a few nice gems, such as a lounge-style piano version of Baby Shark.
The only way Richard should have been able to accomplish these things is if he had an accomplice.
ConsideringDropdirector Christopher Landonclaims the movie was partly inspired by a true story, this one detail seems entirely unrealistic.

And the likeliest explanation is problematic as well.
However, no other accomplices to Richard are ever identified.
This only leaves Palates unnamed hostess.

However, neither she nor anybody else works to assist Richard during the main action of the climax.
If Richard did have another accomplice,Drophas no interest in revealing them.
Thats what makes it so disappointing that it takes a hit from this one story issue.
Its especially troubling becausethe plot hole regarding Phils death would have been incredibly easy to resolve.
Additionally,Dropwouldnt have suffered plot-wise if someone like the hostess had been implicated.
