The Place Beyond the Pines

The Place Beyond the Pines (2013) is a crime drama from Derek Cianfrance you can watch online on iFILM. Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes lead the cast.

Luke Glanton rides a motorcycle inside a steel cage for a traveling carnival. Passing through one town, he learns that his ex Romina has a baby boy who is his. Luke quits the road to stay close, but honest wages won't cover a family, so he starts robbing banks and outrunning every cruiser on his bike. A rookie cop named Avery Cross picks up his trail, and a single choice binds the two families for years.

Cianfrance builds the story as a triptych: the father's chapter flows into the cop's, then into the lives of their grown-up sons. Shot in Schenectady, New York, the film borrows its title from the city's Mohawk name. Watch for an early role from Mahershala Ali, who would later win two Academy Awards.
