Good film, a bit slow, but not totally off putting. It gives it more of a brooding feel than anything else. It's based on a Lehane story, and feels a bit like his other story that was made into a movie, Mystic River.

I also saw "A Most Dangerous Year", almost a good film, but needed an editor, and the last 10 minutes could've been shaved off, and made a much better film. Also you could see that they were digging too much into the films of the past to give it a darker feel. Almost like the the cast and crew bought a stack of 70's - 80's films, and said "let's watch these right before filming.".

Decent film, but one of those that leave you going "why did you do that? I could of liked you, but....".

Locke and The drop pushed tom hardy over the edge for being my favorite actor.

Getbig related because the movie is all about real tough guys and pussays pretending to be tough.

Watched this a few weeks ago, movie was okay, but I didn't think much happened of note in it. Tom Hardy is an excellent actor though, carries of the accent well.

John Wick, I believe would be a better choice.
You kill a man's dog and take his car. A man called "the bogeyman" (because he is the man you send to kill the bogeyman). Hilarity of the violent kind ensues.

Slow yes by modern standarts, but it's worth the "waitting". The ending is superb.

The Drop is a solid 3/10

Perhaps the biggest load of dross I've seen in a long while.

An injured dog, a deadbeat who used to own said dog - and a bar.

funny you should say that - I sat with my kid through "back to the future" (he's 12, I think I was 13 or 14 when it was release).

his comment was that it was a great movie, and very simple - without the effects of modern movies and still great..

as for the Drop - excellent movie - fantastic acting too I thought

I think i must have watched the wrong movie , given all the positive "great movie" feedback.

Did Tom Hardy film two films called The Drop?

Cos the version i watched was pure shite.
