The Drop

The Drop follows lonely bartender Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy) 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 (James Gandolfini), 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. 

Although this movie was a much more artsy character drama than I expected based on advertisements, I still enjoyed it very much.  They had several different angles all playing out at the same time and even though you were not aware of the connections yet you were so intrigued throughout wanting to see how it played out.  The chemistry between the cast was phenomenal - especially Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini.  This was a great last role for the departed Gandolfini and Tom Hardy really is becoming one of my favorite actors at this point.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.  It's artsy and edgy but really is a very enjoyable watch.
