Best movie of this year hands down!

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Great film and plot. Really enjoyed it all unfolding And Tim Hardy was pure class as always. A fantastic thriller/ganster film.

The DropThe strength of the feature lies upon its mild yet powerful drama where even though it is back drop upon this massive gangster street genre, it still seeks for its little moments that gives the appropriate depth to its amusing characters. Michael R. Roskam's brilliant execution surpasses its genuinely moving script that even though never gets big enough for screen, is still effective. Tom Hardy has done some decent work along with Noomi Rapace and James Gandolfini on his supporting side. The Drop stands alone in terms of its unpredictable plot line and the amusing bits installed in characters that helps them bond and communicate easily with the audience.

The Drop (2014) ****In Brooklyn, there's a bar used as a money drop by dangerous Chechen gangsters. Bob (Hardy) works at the bar for his cousin Marv (Gandolfini) who runs the place.Marv had a problem. As a result, Bob has a secret that has haunted him for many years.In the present time, Marv gets stupid again. Placing Bob and himself in danger. Initially, Bob seems to be a timid unambitious drone. He curries obsequious favor with the Chechens. But, he acquires a puppy, then a girlfriend (Noomi Rapace). Someone comes along to threaten both.This film is a quality drama, without the rolling gunfire and chase scenes currently in vogue. Well crafted and well played by the entire cast. Good pacing and effective cinematography. The film is a narrative about the motivation and character of the main cast.In the climatic scene, all is revealed as Bob takes care of his problems. Also earning the respect of the Chechens.Some might find the film to be too sparse. Not enough action and melodrama. But, there is tension and fear aplenty. Clues are there for us to pick over at the conclusion of the story.

This movie revolves around a bar where organized crime (apparently Russian mobsters) often collects illicit proceeds. But the bar is robbed and the crime money is stolen and Bob, one of the bar managers, has the task of getting the money back. At the same time, a subplot is developed involving this character, a Russian veterinarian named Nadia, a dog found in the trash and a dangerous bandit, Eric Deeds. The film blends two stories connected by the central character and the script still has a certain scent of gangster movie. However, it is not a particularly interesting story.What gives strength to this film is the strong cast and their positive interpretations. James Gandolfini gave life to Marv, a man embittered by the loss of his bar. The actor managed to give his character a powerful and psychologically rich personality. It was with this movie that he said goodbye to the big screen, dying shortly after. Tom Hardy is equally to be congratulated. His character is the most powerful and psychological of the film, since he spends all his time avoiding trouble but ends up showing his anger at the end. He seems like a pretty normal guy to some extent, and the actor does it all in a very convincing way. Matthias Schoenaerts is one of the biggest villains and gave life to a mobster who immediately makes us believe in being capable of the worst things. Naomi Rapace played well, but I was not particularly surprised.Everything else in this movie is average.
