The din of outfit-dissection, arguments on worthiness, and the entire gabfest accompanying the Academy Awards, has only barely died down, but the race for the next set of little golden men seems to have already begun. And The Place Beyond The Pines has all the required qualifications - a grand theme, a star cast that can't help but land the film a nomination or two, quite transparently manipulative drama, and a profuse use of the F-word. It does miss out on the one thing that is supposed to hold all the others together, though - a coherent plot line.
