The Drop | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Jason Bailey Flavorwire 'The Drop' reminds us of what Gandolfini always did well: providing support, heft, and color, in the tradition of our finest character actors. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Antonia Quirke Financial Times The film is just three degrees off being brilliant yet is always creepingly moving, and I loved its lived-in squalor. Jan 5, 2015 Full Review David Edelstein New York Magazine/Vulture As a vehicle for those two actors, The Drop is gangbusters. Jan 5, 2015 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson "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. Rated: 2/5 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It's a well-made film that may be small in cinematic stature but big in terms of smart and precise storytelling. Rated: 4/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review As much as this critic would like to say that Gandolfini’s final farewell is a show-stealer, his performance finds a perfect equilibrium with his costars. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The plot unfolds slowly, but the tension is there from the start. The dialogs could have been written by Hamingway. Hardy is obviously the star but Gandolfini as Marv is real. So is Shoenaerts as Eric. The soundtrack makes it even more enjoyable. I belive The Drop easily makes my top 20. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Kathy M Slow Burn but Worth it 🥰 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Michael T Superb slow burner. Bob finds a dog on his way home, 24 hours later the 'drop' bar that he works at is robbed, on the hook for the missing money and being intimidated by the supposed dog owner, Bob must find a way to sail the murky waters. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Conrad C Tom Hardy's performance as the main character elevated this film from being just okay to actually really good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Davin H Hidden gem no doubt. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Sean J I like McDonald's more than burger 🤴 king. Big Mac over whopper .

Synopsis 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.
