The Drop is a crime movie which poises Tom Hardy as a bartender from Brooklyn, so what audiences get with this movie is Hardy doing his own version of that famous accent. He sort of sounds like a less-aggressive Christopher Walken, for some reason, like Christopher Walken after a major operation, having to come to terms with a sense of his own mortality.There is a strange kind of poetry to Hardy's accent here, even if - by Brooklyn standards, at least - it isn't very accurate at all. The line "They cawl it a drawp bahr" seems to define his approach to doing this particular voice, but it's mesmerising all the same to hear the actor talking in such a uncharacteristically solemn Brooklyn accent.
