10 Most Overlooked Movies From 2014

3. The Drop

The Drop is pretty low-key for a film featuring acting heavyweights like Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace and the late, great James Gandolfini. But don't let it fool you: The Drop packs a powerful emotional punch and features some truly nail-biting sequences. A lot of this stems from Hardy's natural intensity and the slow-burning pace of the film. The drama unfolds naturally and, when the time is right, explodes without warning. As stated above, the performances are great. None more so than Gandolfini's. The Drop, which is his final film appearance, serves as a fitting tribute to the man who entertained millions as Tony Soprano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lCiDIcqMe0 One of the best things about The Drop is how it doesn't succumb to cheesy plot twists or overwrought dialogue. It is this and the unusual chemistry between the main characters that make this stand out from pack. For fans of James Gandolfini, Tom Hardy and cute puppies. So everyone, then.
