Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy) tends bar in his cousin's pub and looks the other way when local mobsters use the joint as a temporary bank. His simple life takes a complicated turn when he finds a battered puppy. He asks his neighbor, Nadia (Noomi Rapace), for help nursing it back to health, and a mutual attraction sparks between them. However, a robbery at the bar and the return of Nadia's abusive ex force Bob to face the truth about those he thinks he knows best -- including himself.

'The Drop' reminds us of what Gandolfini always did well: providing support, heft, and color, in the tradition of our finest character actors.

The film is just three degrees off being brilliant yet is always creepingly moving, and I loved its lived-in squalor.

As a vehicle for those two actors, The Drop is gangbusters.

A-

The archetypes fade away to reveal broken men and women. Cinematographer Nicolas Karakatsanis' tasteful shadows consume all at some point.

2/5

"The Drop" does have a sly ending in mind and at play, a great scene really, but it doesn't match or make up for the tedious lead-up.

4/5

It's a well-made film that may be small in cinematic stature but big in terms of smart and precise storytelling.
