The Drop
Directed by Michael R. Roskam
Released September 12, 2014
Sometimes a film recommends itself based on the merits of the person who wrote it. Boston native Dennis Lehane penned three novels which were then put on the big screen – “Mystic River,” “Shutter Island Bronson Inception Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Enough Said The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” probably wasn’t the right choice to play a character whose presence doesn’t ever really make sense in this story.
A theoretically intriguing beginning doesn’t lead to much in this film, and, what’s worse, the film takes a somewhat unexpected turn in its third act that leads to a convoluted and far from satisfactory finale that doesn’t track with everything that leads up to it. The film’s title is only half-appropriate, and this feels like a fleeting excerpt from a man’s life that likely has much more interesting other parts. This is not the finest work from this writer or these actors, and it’s a crime entry hardly worthy of comparison to other films of the same genre.
