The Drop Review (2014)

The Drop

  This review may be a little late, but I'm glad I have the opportunity to tell you about this awesome little flick. 

  The Drop introduces us to a character named Bob played by the brilliant Tom Hardy. Bob is trying to get out of gang life while running a bar with his cousin that holds all of the towns dirty money. Hardy's performance, much like his character in this, is really unassuming. You just can't quite figure him out. As the story progresses you really start to like this Bob character and all of his little quirks begin to make sense.

  The Drop takes its time to build the characters and set up the story which could bore some casual watchers, however, the payoff at the end makes it all worth it. 

  I believe this was James Gandolfini's last role before he passed away and I'd say it was a good one to go out on.  

  The Drop is a slow thriller that patiently fleshes out it's characters motivations before delivering with an epic finale. 4 out of 5 stars! (It's Great)
