Sinopsis(1)
La historia gira en torno a un criminal (Hardy) que se ve envuelto en un robo que ha salido mal y con asesinato incluido. En el robo también resulta herido un pit bull que será encontrado por el personaje de Rapace, Nadia, quien interpreta a una mujer llena de cicatrices que vive cerca del personaje de Hardy. A partir de ese momento comenzará a verse perseguida por el anterior dueño del animal, un hombre mentalmente trastornado, quien además le meterá de lleno en una trama criminal relacionada con la banda mafiosa propietaria del bar en el que trabaja en Boston.

I quite enjoy the general mockery of Ben Affleck's acting among film fans (along the lines of "the mob bitches, so I will bitch too"), but he's straight up Shakespearean elite against Tom Hardy, with a rich arsenal of facial expressions. I'm really sorry, but Tom Hardy with his permanent scowl is like the Chuck Norris of A-movies and his acting doesn't impress me at all. Looking at the permanent wrinkles on his forehead, I can think of a distant quote from one of the kleopatra reviews here: "If he had Botox injected into his forehead, he would be finished with acting."

Las películas íntimas de gánsteres ambientadas en los bares destartalados del inframundo de Nueva York son atractivas para los espectadores, especialmente con un elenco como La entrega. La película entretiene, despierta curiosidad sobre cómo se desarrollarán las relaciones entre los personajes y cuál será el clímax dramático que sospechamos. Pero de nuevo, no tendremos tal sorpresa o drama. La dirección amortigua el potencial de sorpresa, perdiendo los contornos clave del arco dramático que se supone que debe tener sentido en el final. Es mejor que vaya a ver a los hermanos de género más refinados La noche es nuestra e Infiltrados.

Dennis Lehane es un artículo muy buscado entre los cineastas. Hasta ahora no he abierto ninguno de sus libros, por lo que no puedo juzgar si tienen su encanto y atmósfera que sea fácil de convertir en película. Sin embargo, debo criticar claramente el ritmo de "The Drop", el comienzo está más o menos aceptable, pero luego se arrastra bastante y ni el final ni alguna especie de sorpresa caída del cielo lo salvan. A todos nos gusta Bronson, pero personalmente lo prefiero en roles negativos o rudos. Me confundí a Schoenaerts con Skarsgard y no entendí en absoluto su personaje. El perro era lindo, a pesar de ser un pitbull que probablemente debería infundir miedo. En resumen, una película insípida, mediocre y sombría.

Amstel, Stella, Budweiser and Stella. I’ll never go into a pub like this, especially in America, where there is an abundance of microbreweries. But this country is also home to some practices you wouldn’t want to be part of. And it is these practices that are the topic of this movie – The Drop. The thing that attracted me to watching this were mainly the actors, but also the story which seemed like a solid crime movie. The result, however, was as if I spent an hour and a half in some kind of a dream-like haze. All kinds of situations are happening, but it feels as if the audience isn’t a part of it at all. Then things get more intense and the final scene elevates this strangely mediocre crime movie to another level. Had it not been for the ending, I’d probably be complaining about what kind of crap Tom Hardy got roped into. As it is, this is a strange crime movie, whose mood is definitely not to everybody’s taste, but the ending must bring joy to anyone who likes suspenseful dialogs and dogs.

Fragile and polite. Roskam skillfully delivers the realism necessary for this type of story. He slowly raises the tension, tightens the noose. Impatient viewers will get bored and complain that there’s nothing happening, but it’s there, that unpleasant feeling that this is our world which the filmmakers don’t dispel until the ending (and that’s just the sound of high-heels). Tom Hardy carries the entire movie on his shoulders, he is as at home in a minimalist role (he also proved this in Locke) as in the role of a bad-ass tough guy, and this is a role is just perfect for him. Gandolfini’s swan song presents him in his classic position of “just a bit of a bastard", but he certainly departs with honor. An awfully pleasant movie that was easily better than most of this year’s Oscar winners that I have seen.

These captivating crime movies, like Out of the Furnace and Blood Ties, very popular today it seems. And surprisingly, it still works quite well. It's not overloaded with action and it has a lot of clever dialogues and finely edited and developed scenes. This seemingly low-end, made on a shoestring, production of the second decade of the new millennium will someday have its own subcategory. Unfortunately, it lacks more sophisticated script and faster flow of the plot for a higher rating, but it's a good addition nonetheless. Tom Hardy isn't as cool as in Lawless, but he still rocks.

The fact is that I really didn't expect this. At first, I was surprised by the pace at which everything unfolds and how the acting performances are adapted to it. However, then the poetics of this film, which surprisingly builds up to an unexpected twist, got me. Plus, Noomi Rapace is simply beautiful here, and I haven't seen her in anything for so long...
