The Place Beyond The Pines is one ambitious but uneven flick that bounces from stretches of clear, confident film making to moments where the seams are far from transparent- and no doubt because it aint gonna end its two and a half hour stretch till it ties it all up in a nice big bow for one and all.
It's divided into three parts; in the first, we get caught up with the turbo charged, heart throb, bad boy who volunteers to meet his fate a tad too early- and your left wondering... huh? Then we transition to Part II- and just before you're about to cash out, the plot once again thickens with a dirty cop scenario. We're good again! Then we're immersed in Part III- 15 Years Later...
And half way through the latter, ya kinda wish someone had ended it fifteen years, and a half hour earlier.
