The Drop is a good way to bridge the gap between the disappointment of 2014's summer season and the hope of better things to come in the autumn
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]
like Gandolfini, the deep Brooklyn of "The Drop" is formidable, bona fide and memorable
by Joe Neumaier [NY Daily News ]
it's a mundane crime story that risks being a stupid one, owing to the dog-tussle subplot. But Hardy grounds the picture, never allowing it to slip into absurdity
by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]
it isn't as powerful as the previous Lehane-inspired movies, but it has slow-building traction and three terrifically controlled performances
by Lisa Kennedy [Denver Post ]
fine performances, including Gandolfini's last, help compensate for a patchwork plot by first-time screenwriter Dennis Lehane
by Rafer Guzman [Newsday ]
director Michael R. Roskam has a lot of talent to work with. Rapace somehow layers on a New York accent, Hardy brings his sweet, slow fuse and Gandolfini ... well, he makes you ache for more
Review rate : B+
by Tom Long [Detroit News ]
a potent, propulsive crime drama, gives us one more chance to salute the formidable talent of a remarkable actor
