    The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)



    A motorcycle stunt rider turns to robbing banks as a way to provide for his lover and their newborn child, a decision that puts him on a collision course with an ambitious rookie cop navigating a department ruled by a corrupt detective.

    Pretty amazing movie. Didn't know what to expect going in, but I found it intriguing from start-to-finish. Really well written and directed film, with great performances by Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper. One of the better dramas I've seen recently. Highly recommended 8/10

    I saw this last week. There are some very powerful moments in this movie. Great film. I liked the structure of how at first it was Gosling's story then it shifts over to Cooper's perspective. Both Actors really knocked it out of the park.


    SPOILER !

    I thought the final act with the teen sons discovering each other was a bit unnecessary, but that might have been because I couldn't stand the way AJ talked.

    Agreed, I really liked that dynamic--switching focuses on characters. I didn't expect it and that made it much more interesting. I also hated that AJ guy

    Great movie! AJ was a giant douche but I thought it was really cool that


    Spoiler...
    Jason spared them in the end, he turned out to be a lot like his father. For all his bank robbing and violent threats Luke didn't want to hurt anyone which is why he let his hostages go instead of using them as leverage. He just wanted to provide for his family and got in over his head.
