The Drop

It's not an amazing movie by any means, but it does a lot of things really well. The tension in this movie is palpable. It just keeps getting more and more tense to the point where you're just gagging on it and want to find out what happens.

I found myself shifting in my seat quite a bit. The dialogue is hit and miss, conversations between characters seem awkward at times. James Gandolfini gives a nice final performance as Cousin Marv. Noomi Rapace is fine here, but I could've used more to her character. I would've liked to see the relationship between her and Hardy have a bit more "feeling".

Although the twist doesn't really pay off that tense build, it is very satisfying. This is just a really solid film that is worth checking out. It could have been great...
