The Place Beyond the Pines

Drama, Crime
4 stars
Good but kinda sad movie starring Ryan Gosling as an extreme motorcyclist who starts robbing banks for a living when he learns he has an infant son with former fling Eva Mendes.  Bradley Cooper plays a cop just trying to do the right thing but has difficulty when some dirty cops (including Ray Liotta) try to corrupt him.  Dane DeHaan is a fine young actor (True Blood, Lawless) but one would hope the offspring of Gosling and Mendez would be better looking?  Anyway, he plays an angry teen later on in this film which is really good, but I didn’t care for the ending.
