Chicago, see James Gandolfini in The Drop early and for free

James Gandolfini gives his final performance in the new crime drama, The Drop. Staring alongside Tom Hardy and an adorable Pit Bull, Gandolfini plays Cousin Marv, the owner of a bar in Brooklyn that is used as a money drop, funneling cash to local gangsters. After the bar is robbed, Marv and his bartender and cousin (Hardy) are thrown into an investigation that uncovers the neighborhood’s dark past and turns their lives inside out. The Drop opens in theaters September 12, but The A.V. Club has an opportunity for you to attend an early screening September 8, here in Chicago.
