The Place Beyond the Pines

If you ride like lightning, you're going to crash like thunder.

Filmology Rating: 3.25 out of 4

Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper are perfect.  The end.

But really, this is a great movie, for more than just its two stars, though Gosling, as Luke, and Cooper, as Avery, definitely help make it so.  Luke is an absent father to his son with Romina, played by Eva Mendes.  Avery is missing out on his son’s life because he works too much.  Luke wants to help his son, while Avery is forced to.  As the trailers state, The Place Beyond the Pines is a great story about father-son relationships, and how your relationship with your father affects your relationship with your son.  The movie kept me interested and entertained, and I definitely recommend seeing it.
