Review of The Drop (2006) by Jeff B — 30 Jan 2015
"The Drop" 10 Scale Rating: 8.0 (Great) ...
The Good: While the story was good and the film well directed, the performances of the two leads carries the film. In Gandolfini's final role, the actor gets back to his Soprano roots and makes you remember what made him great to begin with. Tom Hardy shows a lot of range as Gandolfini's cousin and employee. He comes across as somewhat naive and innocent, despite being wrapped up in a dark and violent world. Overall, the story is a good one with a gritty tone that makes this sort of movie tick. Among the better films of 2014.
The Bad: Hardy's accent comes and goes and while it's a minor thing, it's very noticeable. Noomi Rapace's character was mostly useless, despite attempts to make her important. Her performance was also nothing special and the storyline involving her was the least interesting part of the film.
