TIFF 2014: ‘The Drop’ – Exclusive Gallery

There are certain authors who just know crime. James Ellroy is one, Raymond Chandler was another, and Dennis Lehane is certainly on the list as well. His works have been adapted into the acclaimed films Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone and Shutter Island, and his latest adaptation – written by Lehane himself, from his short story “Animal Rescue” – screens this weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival. 

We here at CraveOnline know that not everyone gets to go to TIFF this year, so we’re bringing a small piece of it to you via this exclusive image gallery for The Drop, featuring Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury Road) and Noomi Rapace (Prometheus). Tom Hardy plays a Brooklyn bartender who gets involved in “money drops” for organized crime, but whose cousin (the late James Gandolfini) gets him involved in a robbery gone awry and the ensuing investigation.
