Tom Hardy best of British and the late great James Gandolfini LAST movie combined with Noomi Repace alone with a well written storyline was a hit for me thank you.

Yep.. He was definitely a game changer, i.e., It's truly amazing that the Italian community embraced the casting of a gay actor as its favorite mob boss.

@@ICDUMPEPL 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.

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.

[@spaceranger3728]

I liked the way Chovka was portrayed. Everybody was afraid of him and when he tried to put them at ease, he'd tell a joke and nobody knew whether to laugh or not.

[@jamiepatterson1214]

It isn't the loud ones that should be feared. But the ones who are quiet, because they never reveal their true nature until they are pushed to far.

@@BradBrassman I believe he was already above whatever Gandolfini was trying to pull in here. Tom works hard at each role, no matter what diverse and freakish scripts thrown at him to explore and adapt. And so the female lead with them in here, very impressive performance. I'm very disappointed in Gandolfini's role, but that is the case with him as with Paul Giametti. Both Mercurial, some times quite special and other times just schutzpah not even trying

Most probably figure, by some faulty programming inherited in their hard drive, "So long he's dangerous to others but not me.... and I maybe the safest female in the World. He will never turn on me or betray me" That in part reveals them as antisocial and immoral accomplices.
