Summary
Crime drama starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace and James Gandolfini in his last role. Loner Bob Saginowski serves drinks in a Brooklyn bar owned by his cousin Marv, but in reality it's run by Chechen mobsters who use the establishment to launder money. So when the bar is robbed, their shady employers demand that Bob and Marv replace the cash or else.

Damon Wise
Before his untimely death in the summer of 2013, James Gandolfini had already laid the ghost of iconic TV Mob boss Tony Soprano to rest with his final film: this off-kilter but characterful Brooklyn gangster story. Tom Hardy stars as bartender Bob Saginowski, a buttoned-up loner who works for his cousin Marv (Gandolfini) at his neighbourhood bar. The bar is Marv's in name only because after selling up to an Eastern European gang, Marv simply launders money for his new bosses, a position of weakness the old-school Italian-American finds hard to tolerate. A robbery then turns up the heat for the pair, as they are expected to find and replace the mobsters' missing cash. However, what threatens to become just another heist-gone-wrong drama soon goes in another direction, with Bob blundering into a dark love triangle with the enigmatic Nadia (Noomi Rapace) and the vicious Eric (Matthias Schoenaerts). The tone is uneven, and the ending a little queasy, but The Drop's unusual chemistry keeps the minimal plot ticking over nicely.
