Trivia

Director Derek Cianfrance claims that he would not have made the movie without Bradley Cooper cast as Avery Cross. In fact, he drove 5 hours to Montreal (QC) to meet with Cooper in person to convince him to take the role. Cianfrance says he did write the role for Cooper - "a guy who's paraded around as a hero but inside feels corrupted." See more »

Goofs

While most of the money shown taken in the bank robberies were of the correct design for the time period (the first act was set in 1997), there is a scene in Avery's garage that shows a stack of stolen $20s. The bill on top is a redesigned $20 with the large head portrait, which was not introduced until 1998. See more »

A pretty looking/sounding convoluted mess...
26 March 2014 | by See all my reviews

I have to applaud "The Place Beyond the Pines" for its effort. This film has a fantastic premise and was certainly ambitious with its story. The risks it took and the tale it was attempting to tell are truly fantastic. Unfortunately for this film (and those watching), it never truly succeeds. This is due to some terrible pacing and badly written characters. It's hard to care about any of them, as none of the interesting ones are given enough time to become fully developed. Those who do get sufficient screen time, just aren't that attention grabbing, despite some descent acting. I would also just like to state that after watching this film, I wanted to strangle Emory Cohen. I'm sure he's a fine actor, but he plays probably one of the most aggravating/obnoxious/annoying characters I have seen in recent history. On the bright side, this film contains some great cinematography and a fantastic soundtrack. Seriously, instead of watching this boring and convoluted mess, get on Spotify right now and listen to the soundtrack, you'll have a better time.
