There's no shortage of similarly themed crime dramas, but The Drop rises above the pack with a smartly written script and strong cast.

I'm so glad this came out...I thought that one movie 'Enough Said' was horrible. I didn't want it to be his last. And I'm a big fan of both James Gandolfini and Julia-Louise Dreyfuss. I hope this one is a lot better.

haven't seen it yet but from the trailer it sounds clear that Gandolfini is in on the twist. Wish they didn't do that

Wow, he died 15 months ago, and he must have been done shooting because he was on vacation. It took that long to put it together?

Cousin Marv’s bar is one of several secret drop points for illegal money changing hands between the gangsters. But it's also a basic, blue collar American bar, and the film captures that environment perfectly. Despite the omnipresence of Average Joe bars, movies so often get them wrong; either making them appear too upscale or so impoverished they look about to be condemned. But Cousin Marv's, like the firmly middle class dwellings in the film, seems like the real deal: a place with nothing distinctive to separate it from the pack, but welcoming enough to draw loyal regulars. As one patron says defiantly, "That’s my bar. Don’t fuck with my bar."
