collapse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flop' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'the full monty reviewed in nick's echo' is the wordplay.
'the full monty' becomes 'all' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'reviewed' is a reversal indicator.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'nick's' becomes 'cop's' (both can mean to apprehend or arrest).
'echo' becomes 'e' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'all' backwards is 'lla'.
'lla' going into 'cops' is 'collaps'.
'collaps'+'e'='COLLAPSE'

Can you help me to learn more?
