Movie Review: The Place Beyond the Pines

This movie is a mystery.
Don't believe the trailers because that's only a small portion of the movie.
There's much more, and that much more is a mystery.
The mystery is...
Can you figure out who the main character is!!!!????

Rating: R
Time: 120 min
Director: Derek Cianfrance
Stars: Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper

I'm still trying to figure out the mystery.
Anyways let's learn a little about the movie before we get into the reviewing stuff.
This movie is from and new director who directed Blue Valentine in 2010.
I never saw the movie but it looks... yeah.
Anyways, It has Bradley Cooper who plays a rookie cop.
Eva Mendez who plays her character which I don't know how to explain.
And Ryan Gosling who hated the role and acting in it.
He said that having all of that face tattoo was terrible and embarrassing.
He was actually supposed to where more but he didn't like it so he got away with a little less.
And this movie is long!!!!
But you know what I realized, a lot of movies are really long now often.
This is long, Oblivion is long (I'm reviewing it next.) Pain and Gain is long.
A lot is long!
But anyways that's all I know about the movie.
SOOO, let's get on to the review.
There are three plots in this movie.
1. A motorcyclist starts to rob banks to provide for his family.
2. A rookie cop is trying to make his department better which is at the moment being ruled by a corrupt detective.
3. Many years later.
I'll get more into the plot thing later.
FOR NOW, what was good?
The acting was great.
The characters were each very powerful and I enjoyed watching all of them.
And when it was happening the action was great.
Also what this movie does very well is that it builds a lot of suspense and then when the big thing happens, it's not a let down, it's actually very good.
The dialogue good because it was realistic.
The story was good besides the three thing.
This movie was very enjoyable and it connected to me to what was happening on screen.
I have not seen a decent movie in such a long time and this is actually great.
Now what was bad about this movie?
As I said before, the three plot idea.
This movie seemed to have three plots.
What it felt like to me was that it would be a really good 1 hour film but they wanted it to be big so they added 2 more plots.
They ran out of steam for one idea so instead they added another which eventually had to lead to another.
Also this movie is way too proud of itself.
A lot of people are saying that and what I mean is that it's trying to be this movie that will win many awards and people will know forever, kind of like Godfather just Godfather didn't try as hard.
It's like that annoying kid in school who is always trying to top you but in real life, it's just sad...
This movie is good, but it's not anything that you're going to remember forever.
It try's to hard.
Anyways all in all this movie is a great start to the summer movie season and an end to the beginning of the year terrible movies.
See this movie, NOT Oblivion!
Score=8.0
