The Place Beyond the Pines
[ IMDB ] [ view trailer ]
Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper (easy there, ladies) both star in this edgy crime thriller from filmmaker Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine). Gosling is a motorcycle stunt rider who turns to bank robbery to support his lover and their newborn child. Cooper is the rookie cop navigating a department ruled by corruption to catch the fast-paced thief. No simple cops-and-robbers flick, this stylish multigenerational drama aims for the scope and impact of Greek tragedy. It doesn't always achieve it, but you can't fault anyone here for their ambition. 140 minutes R.
