Many screenwriters have adapted the novels of Dennis Lehane. Now with The Drop, the acclaimed Boston writer took on the challenge of adapting his short story to the big screen.

Not surprisingly Lehane has delivered the best adaptation of his own works yet, with The Drop a gritty crime thriller full of atmosphere, memorable tortured characters (exceptionally portrayed by a stellar cast), & exceptional depth in its look at how the weight of mortal sin engulfs the soul.
