Review of The Drop (2014) by Adlai N — 26 May 2015

Another great story from Denis Lehane , the guy who gave us "gone baby gone" "shutter island" and my favorite Mystic River . this time the storyline is more predictable but not less enjoyable to watch . the film has this criminal atmosphere u know something wrong can happen any second and it creates tension . the acting is the strongest part of the film in my opinion , Tom Hardy was just on other level , officially in my favorite actors list after this :) James Gandolfini was as good as in sopranos and Noomi is an expert in playing such characters so it works out well . the movie pretty much does not have any dynamics and action ( which I really liked ) movie slowly progress to his third act were it lets Tom hardy shine and give strong finale to the movie. the main thing that I felt was bad was the detective character who was trying to bring philosophy but director kinda fails on that part it was not well developed and didn't work out . cinematography was good not bad but could have been better . objectively this movie has flaws but overall its a very good criminal drama movie , with amazing acting and lovable characters and good plot . this year I enjoyed this movie the most along side with interstellar and Foxcatcher that's why I give it.

We need more puppies in the movies nowadays.
