The Drop
2 cousins try to wrest back control of their bar from the Chechen mafia overlords who have been using it to launder money.
Older cousin is James Gandolfini, who tries, and fails, to solve the problem by going all gangster.
Tom Hardy gives a mesmerising performance as the younger cousin, a placid, slightly simple lad who finally snaps as the situation reaches a crescendo.
Mainly set at night, which gives the film a claustrophobic feel of foreboding. Subtle use of music to build the tension, but then to mislead the viewer.
Great plot, great acting, very well directed.
9/10. Do not miss it. This is one of those brilliant films that slipped undeservingly under the radar.
