Was The Drop a good movie?
Really solid and well told, well acted, well filmed... A solid, somewhat slow but never tedious look inside some small time crooks who own a bar in the City. This one is a drop for payments in a booking racket, and the bar owner (James Gandolfini) sort of goes along because he has no choice.
What happened at the end of The Drop?
Eric denies Bob's story in an effort to protect his malicious reputation, and Bob mocks him before shooting him dead and disparaging Eric's vile character to his expired corpse. A frightened Nadia asks Bob if she can leave, which Bob allows and reassures her that no one will ever hurt her again.
Did Tom Hardy adopt the dog from The Drop?

What happens to the puppy in The Drop?
Minor spoiler for The Drop: the dog lives. That's the movie's most shocking aspect of a movie, and we're talking about a hard-R-rated thriller with enough bullets fired into skulls to rival a George Romero zombie film.
