"If you ride like lightning, you're going to crash like thunder," sounds like something Dennis Hopper�would have said in the 1970s (and, actually, the 80s, too), but the always-compelling Ben Mendelsohn gets the line in Derek Cianfrance'sThe Place Beyond The Pines. Although you only hear Mendelsohn deliver it in voiceover in this trailer for the feature, it's a warning he delivers to his partner-in-crime motorcycle stuntman-turned-bank robber Ryan Gosling in the film.
As you can piece together from the clip below (which comes via Yahoo!), �Gosling turns outlaw to support the surprise son he finds out he has (thanks to a fling with Eva Mendes' character) and ends up on a collision course with a cop played by Bradley Cooper. (That tear Baby Goose sheds in the church is over his little boy, who's played by a kid named Anthony Pizza, believe it or not.) �But don't be like the guy in Yahoo! comments section who thinks the trailer gives away the whole movie. �The Place Beyond the Pines is way more complex than a heist �flick. As the tag line in the trailer reads: "One moment defines your life. One decision becomes your legacy."
I'm curious to see whether Cianfrance has re-edited the film since I saw it at the Toronto International Film Festival. I thought the way he structured the movie �was daring and inspired, if a bit unwieldy in places, but there was some grumbling among the crowd that the movie's three interlocking stories didn't fit together so well. The movie opens theatrically March 20.
