The Place Beyond The Pines is a hypnotizing, slow-burning crime drama from director Derek Cianfrance.
These are the characters Bruce Springsteen writes about in his songs. Troubled Americans backed into a corner facing moral dilemmas and despair on the wrong side of the tracks. The three lead actors, Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Dane DeHaan deliver some haunted and effective performances as always, while the cinematography, eerrie music courtesy of Mike Patton and wonderful narrative provide a memorably melancholy backdrop. It will probably deter audiences simpy looking for a good time but comes highly recommended for lovers of great cinema.
