Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4700477, member: 974"] I just watched [B]"The Drop"[/B] again and I am coming to the conclusion that this is a near perfect movie. Everything in this movie is done well. The casting is perfect, the acting is top flight, the pacing of the movie, everything. The way this movie is shot makes the story and the world the story takes place in very small. Everyone lives in a small compartmentalized personal space figuratively and literally. The director uses foreground, fences and pillars and posts to make space seem very confined. The story line never gives itself away. The plot has many threads, each connected, but reach is given it's own space to breathe. Each builds its own tension. There is the story of the bartender, the dog, the policeman, the gangster, the psychopath, the damaged girl and only a couple of them are completely resolved. The last scene is a done in a way that makes you linger. This film is a master class in how to make a movie. [/QUOTE]
