The Drop	comment	The Drop is a 2014 crime film directed by Michaël R. Roskam and starring James Gandolfini (in his final role before his death), Tom Hardy, and Noomi Rapace."Cousin Marv" and Bob (James and Tom respectively) work at a bar Cousin Marv used to own, until he lost it to Chechen mobsters. Their bar is occasionally the drop bar for a given night's mob money. Their lives become complicated when they get robbed, and the Chechens suspect they might be working with the thieves. To add to their woes, Bob finds and rescues a beaten dog thrown into a woman's dumpster. Bob befriends Nadia (Noomi) in the process, only for the dog's former owner, a drug-addled psychopath who claims to have murdered a friend of theirs in the past, to come into the picture.This film is the last one that James Gandolfini acted in, having died of heart complications the same year. It was well-received, and currently holds 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes.Has nothing to do with the freeware Roguelike that has the same name and is the sequel to The Reconstruction.

However, the randomness of this act causes Marv to become paranoid that the Chechens are watching him and even discusses it with Bob, who simply brushes off his concerns. As it turns out, said stranger does indeed work for the Chechens, and is the one they send to execute Marv when they discover he's been ripping them off.

It later turns out that Bob was the one who really killed Richie, with Eric only claiming to have done it in order to advance his street cred. And while Bob could've revealed at any time that he knew Eric was lying, he only waits to do it moments before killing him, possibly to let him know what a fatal mistake he's made.

Bob is shown expertly wrapping a human arm in cling film as if it were a piece of meat, and Marv points out that Bob seems to know what he's doing. He probably does, because it later turns out he had previously killed Richie Whelan, and had likely chopped him up before sealing him inside an oil tank in his basement.

The Drop / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: Eric antagonises Bob at every opportunity, even after Marv warns him that Bob is not someone to be fucked with. He even attempts to steal the mob money stashed in the safe beneath the bar, which is a monumentally stupid idea by itself (though he was working with Marv on that one.) Quite predictably, it doesn't end well for him, as he's so confident in his macho, tough-guy act that he doesn't even see it coming when Bob suddenly draws a gun and blows his brains out. Cousin Marv counts as well. He tries to have his own bar robbed of the mob's money so he can retire on it, because he's still bitter that the Chechens took ownership of the bar away from him. When Bob figures out what he's up to, he tells him he should simply let it go for fear of repercussions. He doesn't, and when the mob realise what he's been doing, they have him executed in his car.
