The movie that moviechoholics long for a long long time
19 June 2013
A Place After a long long time I am being compelled to write a review on some movie, and thats this. U can easily call this one beautiful piece of a multi layered movie. the Dark and Gothic vibe of this one gave me chill big time ! This story is told in three phases . One robber,one cop and their sons .

Rayan gosling successfully tore down his good boy image a long time ago, but outdid himself in this particular character as a hard boiled tattoo covered stuntman come bank-robber, on the other-hand an emotional and affectionate father. In the second face comes the Hangover star 'Bradly Cooper'. Hangover revived his career, no doubt in that, but recently he is showing his true class and ultimate potential. He is also tore between his ambition and being honest which is caused by grief. Then comes the third phase of the movie including their sons, their legacy. This is the most significant part of the movie . The ending proves how the son become their fathers, completing the circle of their ultimate destiny. No one can avoid that. Eva Mendez did a great role, Ray Liyotta as a dirty cop performed a good score too.

To me, the outstanding success pf this movie is its Background score and Gothic atmosphere. One of the best art-house movie of recent times after Gosling's 'Drive'. The deep and intense character study was spectacular. Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond The Pines is undoubtedly a visual odyssey, if nothing else. This film is about,is legacy, and passing the torch from generation to generation. This is the movie that movie choholics long for a long long time .
