@Björn Björk Maybe because, if he was (which I'm sure there were gay italian mafia men throughout the years, and still are), he wasn't flamboyant about it. Business is business. What people do in their bedrooms should not have to be something that is apparent at all times, nor should it define the character of the individual... especially when it comes to business.

Never got how The Drop went under the radar,a well crafted film

[@nedlewis1067]

I do! They stupidly moved to the setting from Dorchester, Mass to Brooklyn. I’m not saying it had to be set in Dorchester; but Brooklyn? Putting it in Brooklyn makes Brooklyn & NYC a character, changes the whole dynamic. Also, it’s a movie for grown ups, but they sold it like it was just some paint-by-numbers Scorsese rip-off. And finally the studio buried it. Gave it ZERO promotion. (This was also at the very end of the brief, but intense- “We’re going to make this tiny Swedish actress who’s never even been a lead in an English language production the biggest star on earth! ‘Why?’- you ask?? Cuz Ridley Scott made a drunken bet with Christopher Nolan!”-era. So they had no female lead to promote the film.

I remember a regular that kept harassing a soft spoken counterman at a bar. The one day the patron spit on the floor and when addressed tried to fight the counterman. The counterman looked hom square in the eyes, and said, "You don't understand, if we go outside I'm just going to kill you. I'll kill you and shove you under someone's car and go back to what I was doing. Then when they find you, I'll be arrested and go to jail. I'll just do my time, because I don't fucking care." It was the most badass exchange I've ever seen. The counterman was as serious as a heart attack. Obviously the patron decided to sober up and stop being an asshole.
