Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) has forsaken his name to escape his family and their tradition in law enforcement to pursue his ambitions as a Brooklyn nightclub owner. As he turns a blind eye to the drug dealers around him he comes face to face with the family he abandoned when his brother (Mark Wahlberg) and father (Robert Duvall) crack down on the club. Now Bobby must choose a side. Is he going to turn informant or will he help run the biggest crime ring in New York history?System Requirements:Run Time: 117 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/CRIME & CRIMINALS Rating: R UPC: 043396225312 Manufacturer No: 22531 Amazon.com: In We Own the Night, Joaquin Phoenix, whose eyes burn with sullen anger even when he's looking at the woman he loves, plays Bobby Green, a nightclub manager in the 1980s who gets caught between his blood family he tried to leave behind--a long line of police officers--and his chosen family of friends and business partners, who turn out to be drug dealers. His father (Robert Duvall) and brother (Mark Wahlberg) want Bobby to help their investigation, but Bobby resists--until the conflict takes a brutal turn. Writer/director James Gray wears his influences on his sleeve; he's clearly seen every movie that Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola ever made and aspires to follow in their footsteps. The familiarity of the movie's territory dilutes its impact, but the plot of We Own the Night remains unpredictable, the performances have a clean vitality, and Gray's moody visual style brings some life to the genre. Phoenix (Walk the Line) dives into his role, sifting through layers of guilt and familial resentment; Wahlberg and Duvall play parts they've essentially played a dozen times, but do so with commitment and integrity. Also featuring Eva Mendes (Ghost Rider) as Bobby's devoted girlfriend, who questions just how much she'll have to give up for him. --Bret Fetzer Beyond We Own the Night On Blu-ray Original Soundtrack Stills from We Own the Night (click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - total schlock Pointless 'Departed' whanabee... there are plot holes galore in this ridiculous cliche-fest. There is one particularly brutal scene (at the police station) after the police bust of the club, which I recommend skipping over for sensitive viewers. Rating: - Great Movie I really love this movie. I would recommend this movie to Joaquin Phoenix or Mark Wahlberg fans. I like both actors very much and to see a movie with both actors was a great pleasure. Rating: - Family ties and drug crime Story about two brothers, one policemen and the other night club manager whose professional lives clash. While one is following the family tradition of being a policemen, the other is trying to break on his own. This is all good until it turns out that the owner of the night club, a Russian immigrant who is officially in fur business, decides to expand his drug business from Brooklyn to Manhattan. In an effort to secure market advantage and scare police away from his operations, he gives out orders to muscle the police officer who (unknown to him at the time) happens to be his night club manager's brother. And it is at that moment that story starts to unrevel. Loyalties get tested between friends, family members and in love relationships. Interesting film, well told, but pales in comparison to a movie like "Departed". Eva Mendes plays beautiful and seductive girlfriend, but I hope, for her acting future, that she can show more to the audience but the ability to handle hot intimate scenes. Rating: - Fantastic! This movie was fantastic all the way through! Starts off good, and never quits! Watch it! Rating: - Sooooooo Slowwwwww They must have passed out depressants to the cast when shooting this movie. I wanted to jump into the scenes with Phoenix and jump start his heart so he could continue. I believe it was the directors job to get the timing right in this slow mo druggie versus cop movie and he failed miserably.
