| Desperate times call for desperate measures as stuntman Luke robs banks to provide for his family. |
What else can be said about the aura surrounding Derek Cianfrance's crime drama, The Place Beyond the Pines other than simply calling it the most electric, impactful piece of cinema to hit theaters in the past twelve months, perhaps even longer? There are not many films out there that can say they firmly stay on the minds of audiences after the credits roll, however The Place Beyond the Pines takes that to another level completely with its masterfully crafted narrative that will keep audiences contemplating more than just a few hours afterwards.
In The Place Beyond
the Pines, Ryan Gosling plays Luke Glanton, a traveling carnival daredevil
who finds his world turned upside down after he finds out his one night stand
resulted in an infant son. With no way to amply provide for his only child,
Glanton turns to a life of crime as the Moto Bandit, partnering up with a
reclusive auto mechanic to hit up various local upstate New York banks.
