"The Drop" is a brilliantly executed piece of cinema. Everyone in this perfectly cast movie simmers in their turn.
Gandolfini plays Marv with not a single hint of Tony Saprano, but manages to find new territory as the scheming bar owner.
And what can you say about Tom Hardy? To think that he can go from playing Bane to giving life to Bob Saginowsky. He somehow manages both the simplicity and complexity of the character- effortlessly.
Meanwhile Noomi Rapace is not to be outdone along with all the other notables, Otiz, Dowd, et al... just absolutely on point.
Of course the cast had a lot to work with because the writing is a joy while the direction keeps the pace taunt.
An absolute gem.
