One of the most interesting things about The Drop is that it was James Gandolfini’s final completed film performance released during his lifetime. His portrayal of Cousin Marv is deliberately different from the larger-than-life mob persona many viewers associated with his famous role as Tony Soprano.
The movie was directed by Belgian filmmaker Michaël R. Roskam, making it an interesting collaboration between a European director and an American crime story set in Brooklyn. The screenplay was written by Dennis Lehane, who adapted his own short story “Animal Rescue.”

Dennis Lehane’s “Animal Rescue” provided the foundation for the film. This is unusual because Lehane is better known for substantial crime novels such as Mystic River and Shutter Island. The film expands the short-story concept into a much deeper story about Bob, Marv and the criminal ecosystem surrounding the Brooklyn bar.
