Related: About this forumAnyone see "The Drop"?...I saw it, almost by accident, and liked it a lot!
Written by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River) and starring James Gandolfini in his last
role. It contains a very interesting twist I didn't see coming.

It was a little hard to follow, but the ending blew me out of the water.

and with regards to the ending, I can only say "Me too"!

It started out as a Dennis Lehane short story, was then developed into a movie screenplay, and finally, Lehane did a novella, based on the screenplay.
My favorite part of the short story/novella/movie: towards the end, when that detective looks at the character Tom Hardy portrays, chuckles and says "They never see you coming, do they?" Good stuff.

and yes, that last line summed it up perfectly.
