This is a movie that places
mood and character above all else, and though it comes with the undesirable label of being James Gandolfini's final
screen appearance, «The Drop» is a well - paced and expertly acted film that serves as a
fitting end to one actor's career and the exciting emergence of another.
The fast - paced, percussive soundtrack doesn't
fit what's on
screen, and the abridged credits (first names are initial only, meaning Robitaille is credited as «P. Robitaille») just add on to the bizarre
mood established from the outset.
