91. The Place Beyond The Pines


Being a dad changes your opinions about everything. Being a dad certainly will ingratiate you to The Place Beyond The Pines as it glares at the relationship between a father and son.

If I'd seen this film a year ago I would have probably not got as much out of it as I did watching it today. It's an indulgent but lavish affair where Bradley Cooper really steals the show as the guilt plagued Avery Cross.

It could perhaps do with a little trimming but overall it's a fucking quality piece of film making.

Killing Them Softly is an enjoyable and efficient underworld thriller (if a little unspectacular).

It's gritty, grimy and filled with the kind of bottom feeding trash that can't help but stumble into their inevitable demise.
