Watch The Place Beyond the Pines For Free

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This movie is so goddamn stupid and pointless. It scares me how bad it is, guys. In the first scene of the movie, Romina scores a bike ride with Luke. For no apparent reason. It's like she is leading him on and when he asks her if they can get a drink or something, she says no. WHYYYY. When Luke gets the crib, Kofi gets angry because it is his house. Wow, prince charming. You care more about your rundown house than a crib for an infant child who you call your son? Really smooth. And, when Romina coos "Baby." at Kofi after he is punched by Luke doesn't even add up. There is simply no chemistry between them. If the girl wants to have no ties with the father of their child, fine. But Luke was trying to do a really nice thing by getting presents for his child, there is no crime in that. And, a scene that depicts the opposite of that shows how talented the writers and directors are. I can't understand why Eva Mendes (the intelligent and beautiful actress that she is) would even choose to read a script in which she is merely a damsel in distress and where two men are just fighting over her and her baby. She never takes a stand. She keeps pushing someone away who clearly loves and admires her.

Rayan Gosling and Eva Mendes on their PEAK performance, Bradly Cooper did really well and rest was good enough. Glorious directional work. Awesome story from very first scene grabbing you altogether then keep rising till middle then story line falling slowly and till the end story line reaches to its Okay level.Could be a lot a lot better if story in second and third part could had been reviewed by director before making it.

I turned off Mr. Bean for this piece of crap. I'll never forgive myself. It starts out as a tattooed face guy robs banks movie. Then it turns into a Ray Liotta is a corrupt cop movie. Then it turns into a lifetime movie staring Bradley Cooper and the guy who plays his kid and the worst New York accent ever. Watch Mr. Bean instead.

The story was an unfocused mess that just kind of...ended. Nothing was justifiably resolved. I thought: "Oh! Police corruption! That's interesting!" ...and not two minutes later, all the crooked cops were in jail! That could have been an exciting movie right there! Crooked cops! Who can you trust!? I rolled my eyes at the "15 years later" text.It was too late in the film to be introducing new characters to give them proper development.
