If you’ve ever wondered what happens to cops and criminals once their stories are resolved in the traditionally violent climax to a crime flick, then The Place Beyond the Pines (15A) is for you.

The sins of fathers are revisited upon the sons in Derek Cianfrance’s doom-laden triptych, which reunites the award-winning writer-director with his ‘Blue Valentine’ star, Ryan Gosling.
