The Drop (2014)

With this being James gandolfinis last ever performance I was interested in seeing the drop. The premise of this film sees a couple of cousins run a drop bar for the mafia when a robbery happens it leads to one problem after another. Yom hardy is one of the best actors in Hollywood and he is great in this film. It's a very understated performance but you see the emotion and pain in his character and he is a fascinating character. James gandolfini is fantastic in this film with his performance. His facial expressions sells his performance and you feel the pain in his character. Noomi rapace is good in this film as Hardy's love interest and she added to allot to the film and Hardy's character. The villains were pretty good and creepy too even if they were a bit underdeveloped. The story had some good mystery to it and a good romance. However, there are allot of turns that you don't really care about and your wondering what's going on in the film. The script has some good dramatic moments and dialogue. But sometimes it becomes hard to understand and there is no humour at all. The style is very gritty and dark which really works. But the pacing of the film is a bit off and can make it feel a bit too long. Overall this is is a good film that if you like gangster films you will probably enjoy.
