Thriller. Drama Follows lonely bartender Bob Saginowski through a covert scheme of funneling cash to local gangsters - "money drops" - in the underworld of Brooklyn bars. Under the heavy hand of his employer and cousin Marv, Bob finds himself at the center of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deep into the neighborhood's past where friends, families, and foes all work together to make a living - no matter the cost.

	Media	Author	Review
		Justin Chang Variety	"Dennis Lehane’s first adaptation of his own work feels minor compared with 'Mystic River,' 'Gone Baby Gone' and 'Shutter Island,' but it’s not without its low-key pleasures."
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A sharp, character-rooted crime film."
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"It's Hardy's performance, above everything else, that sneaks up on you. (...) Rating. ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"'The Drop' is filled with many such small, near-perfect moments where there’s so much more going on beyond the simple exchanges of dialogue (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"The terrific cast and punchy dialogue make it particularly worth seeing, bringing energy to a deliberately-paced tale that occasionally feels plodding"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A potent, propulsive crime drama (...) Though 'The Drop' covers familiar ground, it simmers with charged emotion (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"This is Tom Hardy‘s show, and any opportunity to see this actor exercise his skills merits attention. He, along with the rest of this top-notch ensemble, give “The Drop” far more than they get back"
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"The darkly funny “The Drop” is a fitting coda to Gandolfini’s all-too-short career"
