Review of The Drop (2006) by Ian C — 23 Nov 2014
The Drop is an incredibly well-made, well acted and well scripted movie which I thoroughly enjoyed. James Gandolfino makes his final appearance as a bar manager whose life has hit a brick wall. He is superb but the film belongs to Tom Hardy as his introverted nephew whose quiet exterior hides an intricate personality with a far darker interior.
The scenes in Downtown New York City are gritty and beautifully filmed and the sordid world of organised crime maintains a brooding undercurrent to the far pettier affairs of the two main protagonists.
Noomi Rapace, the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo herself, provides the love interest in what is one of the years best movies.
