In an attempt to provide for his new family, Luke quits the carnival life and commits a series of bank robberies aided by his superior riding ability. The stakes rise as Luke is put on a collision course with an ambitious police officer, Avery Cross, (Bradley Cooper) looking to quickly move up the ranks in a police department riddled with corruption.

Nowadays when Hollywood attempts to make a movie that is story-driven, that is, it is the story that is meant to grab the audience's interest, then the results usually are murky. Let's face it, the art of storytelling has been downplayed in favor of other gimmicks to grab an audience's attention. Nevertheless, this movie succeeds at telling a story. This movie is about a man who lives a lie and knows that he is living a lie and how that lie has trans-generational consequences. The theme of this movie is that it is better to be truthful than deceitful because the truth sooner or later will emerge. In this movie Bradley Cooper proves once again that he is beyond question the best male lead actor in Hollywood today. He performs drama equally as well as comedy. He brings a mixture of strength, pathos and vulnerability to the role without making it seem contrived or hokey. Through Cooper the story acquires an added level of strength which makes the movie not only watchable, but something that makes the audience want more.
