action
Luke Glanton
The motorcycle stunt driver Luke meets his ex-girlfriend Romina after a long time at a fair in the town of Schenectady in New York State and shortly afterwards learns from her mother by chance that Romina has had a child from him. Deeply touched by this, he decides not to move on with the rest of his show crew, but to settle in town to look after his son and Romina. Romina is otherwise in a relationship, so that there are only a few meetings where the three are together. Luke meets the eccentric mechanic Robin and starts working as an auto mechanic in a nearby workshop because he can no longer work in his previous job. He quickly becomes friends with Robin.
The two forge a plan to raid some banks together, and Luke wants to use the booty to financially support his offspring and his ex-girlfriend. This succeeds, but at some point Luke's accomplice Robin gets too hot, so he jumps off and destroys Luke's motorcycle to save him from further harm. But Luke could not be dissuaded from his plan and bought a new motorcycle. A planned bank robbery does not go so smoothly due to the unreliable new motorcycle and Luke has to hide in a family house after a long chase with the police.
Avery Cross
The ambitious Avery Cross, who wants to serve up the judicial system as a law graduate, is the first police officer to arrive on site and penetrates the house alone. Luke recognizes his hopeless situation and calls Romina. He asks her never to tell his son who his father was. When Avery finally kicks in the door, he misjudges the situation. He shoots Luke, who then shoots Avery in the leg before falling out of the window to his death. Avery is celebrated as a hero because he hunted down the wanted bank robber and thus restored security and order in the city. On the other hand, he himself has a pangs of conscience because he shot first and thus orphaned a little boy who is the same age as his own son.
After his recovery, some colleagues invite him for a jaunt. During this time they visit Romina and, without her noticing, steal the money Luke stole from her apartment. They then divide this up among themselves. Unlike the others, the idealistic Avery is not comfortable with embezzling the stolen money. Avery tries to give his part of the money back to Romina, but she also refuses to accept it. Eventually Avery wants to hand the money over to his manager. However, he does not want to have anything to do with it, as he does not want to cause the threatening scandal in his department. Instead, his supervisor informs Deluca who was involved in the embezzlement of Avery's course of action. He then tries to put Avery under pressure.
As it progresses, Avery realizes the extent of corruption and crime within its police force. He therefore speaks to his father, who was a Supreme Court judge, and decides to have this criminal activity exposed. Equipped with a recording device, he went to a colleague who asked him to smuggle drugs out of the evidence room. With the taping, Avery goes to the prosecutor and demands that the matter be investigated and that he himself be named assistant district attorney in return. The scandal is exposed and the group arrested, and Avery Cross is once again in the headlines.
Jason and AJ
The third section of the film, which takes place 15 years later, is about the effects of the past on the following generation. Avery's son AJ moves in with his father after his parents split up and changes schools as a result. After a short time, he happened to meet Luke's son Jason and befriended him, but the two teenagers knew nothing about their fathers' common past. After buying drugs, the two are caught by the police. Avery, who is now running for attorney general for New York State, tries to get his son AJ released and realizes who AJ's boyfriend is. He forbids him any further contact with Jason, but does not explain why. Nevertheless, the two young people continue to meet and AJ instigates Jason to keep getting him drugs. Jason learns the name of his biological father from his foster father Kofi and finds out about the bank robberies and the fatal shot through an Internet search from archived newspaper articles. He then has the desire to find out more about his father and seeks out his former employer Robin. The two of them talk for a long time about Luke and his special talent for riding a motorcycle.
At a house party at AJ's, Jason stumbles upon a photo of his father Avery and recognizes the face from his research. AJ and Jason get into a violent altercation, after which Jason wakes up injured in the hospital. Jason wants revenge and gets himself a gun, so he can see AJ. He gets into the Crosses house, shoots AJ and then intercepts his father Avery. With the help of the weapon he forces him to drive into the forest. Avery has to kneel down there and hand over his wallet . Avery awaits the shot and asks Jason's forgiveness, addressing him by name. That's when Jason realizes that Avery knew who he is. Then he runs away. In Avery's wallet he finds a photo stolen by Avery from the evidence room, showing his father, mother and he as a baby in front of his father's motorcycle.
Apparently fully recovered, AJ accompanies his father to the attorney general's appointment ceremony. Jason sends the photo from Avery's wallet to his mother in the mail. Then he buys an old motorcycle in the country and drives away with it.
criticism
The Place Beyond the Pines received mostly good reviews . At Rotten Tomatoes , the film drama scored 82% and 76% of the audience liked the film. In the Internet Movie Database was The Place Beyond the Pines rated 7.4.
For example, the filmstarts.de editorial team said: “In the parforcer ride garnished with surprising twists, three films are in one. The director combines action, thriller and drama with virtuosity and underpins his reputation as one of the most exciting filmmakers in American independent cinema with his outstandingly photographed [...] study of guilt and atonement. "
“In its epic layout, The Place Beyond the Pines appears at times like a post-modern re-edition of Les Misérables. […] Constructed as a triptych and thus again referring to representational customs of bygone times, the structure is ultimately more interesting than its narrative decoration. In the second third, Cianfrance, stylistically increasingly less ambitious, tells of the ambitious policeman Avery who gets hold of Luke, is frenetically celebrated as an American hero and at the same time delves deeper and deeper into the conspiracies of his corrupt police colleagues. His institutional sense of justice ultimately also provokes the melodramatic dilemma that Cianfrance emulates here in the tried and tested tradition. "
“The Place Beyond The Pines is a genre hybrid of crime thriller, family drama and coming of age story - not inhomogeneously distributed, but absolutely consistent in its form. The film digs deeper and deeper into its subject matter until it finally lets out a weak light through the darkness. But not in this place under the pines. Photos remember and show a way, while like a tombstone they have to stay in place. Derek Cianfrance succeeded in another masterful achievement, supported by intense actor performances and a thoughtful staging. "
“Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper in a gripping father-son story. Director Derek Cianfrance charges his stars with a lot of emotions with his weakness for screwed up families. But Gosling and Cooper deliver confidently! So this drama is an emotionally charged story with a gripping star performance. "
