Rating: 6 out of 10, A very ambitious movie that features Gosling only rarely falling into his patented thousand mile stare method of acting. He plays a low life, heavily tattooed crook trying to connect with an infant son. He has a tragic encounter with Cooper as a wannabe good guy cop falling victim to his own ambition. The female characters are kind of wasted here although Mendes wears the hell out of an early t-shirt. This movie had some lofty goals but gets in its own way with a very clunky pace that had my finger twitching towards the fast forward button. A near miss but a clear one.
MVP: Bradley Cooper as Avery Cross the conflicted “good guy”
