edoconnell You can't just throw together some big name actors and piece together an intertwining story and steal some good scores and songs and expect it to work out. There's some amazing scores taken from a favorite film of mine and it just doesn't fit, this could've been done so many better ways and with better cuts and editing and maybe it wouldn't have been a waste of my time.

jeffrymiranda-25858 Perfect movie for what is happening in the United States with gun control. This movie tells a very true story about fraud in any police department, dirty politics, gun control, drugs and violence. The most beautiful part of it is that it makes it by blending different ethnicities and backgrounds. Although I thought Ryan Goslin was going to have a more significant role in the whole movie, his share on it was more than enough. The sequence of events and the story like make complete sense and coherently bind with one another.

jchano123 When I first looked into this I thought it would be some boring melodramatic indie film, but thankfully I was wrong. This movie was definitely consistently interesting and by no means boring, but had the story been told in a different order, and not simply chronological, it could've been a lot better. The direction was really good and filled with lots of tension and the story as a whole was pretty interesting.Gosling sold his part for me even though I'm really not the biggest fan of his, but I really hated the character and liked seeing him lose so many times. I actually ended up not liking any of the four male lead characters in this. Cooper's was stupid and didn't earn my respect from the get go, and Cohen's really annoyed me. DeHaan's was probably the most likable, but even then, not much.Technically, almost all the camera-work was hand-held which got dizzying and many shots could have been significantly more effective if a track or dolly was used.In the end, it was an interesting movie, but could have been much better had there not been so many missed opportunities.

rodwhitt The Place Beyond the Pines suffers from no movie clichés, regardless of genre. A very original screenplay that takes the audience on a journey they'll be very emotionally invested in. Ryan Gosling is absolutely electric! The entire cast's performance was A+ quality, with Gosling leading the charge with one of his best performances. Sit back, and tag along for this tale that is highly original and extremely unpredictable. 85/100-Baby23
