Leave your thoughts about The Drop.
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeThere's something especially poignant about watching an actor who is no longer with us doing, one final time, what he did best. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottTom Hardy continues to stretch and James Gandolfini's last movie is deadly intense. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerThe drama of this mean-streets tale is told on the deceptively gentle face of Tom Hardy. Don't let him out of your sight. (Not that you'll be able to.) |
| Birmingham Mail Graham YoungThe Drop is predictable but this portrait of greed and ambition on the mean streets of New York hits most of the right menacing notes. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternMr. Hardy's Brooklyn accent is not only flawless — a Londoner by birth, he's a vocal chameleon who played a Welshman in "Locke" — but tinged, I do believe, with a blithe, spot-on tribute to a blue-collar guy from another borough, Ernest Borgnine's immortal Marty. Here's a far-from-minor performance by a major star in the making. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireThe dramatically explosive ending of The Drop more than justifies its long, long fuse, resulting in two Big Bangs that create not a moral universe, but a multiverse of moralities the characters can adopt as needed. |
| Film Journal InternationalRex RobertsNo, the performances are good enough, the story engaging enough, but The Drop never convinces us that the events unfolding on the screen are more than a filmmaker's conceit. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeThis 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. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonThe Belgian Roskam, making only his second feature film, and his first in English, displays remarkable assurance, with both the actors and the film’s very American setting. He creates an escalating sense of dread, tinged with Lehane’s brand of mordant humor. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThe Drop is a simmering thriller from the writer who gave us “Mystic River” and “Gone, Baby Gone,” a tale heavy with the weight of violence we know is coming. |
