Review of We Own the Night (2007) by Derek D — 05 Nov 2012
James Gray"s Film Stars Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg As Brothers On Opposite Sides Of The Law. "We Own The Night" Takes Place In 1980s NYC And Centers On The War Between The Cops And The Russian Mafia.
Eva Mendes Delivers An Impressive Performance As The Girlfriend Of Joaquin Phoenix's Character. Robert Duvall Also Stars As The Patriarch Of The Family. The Film Piles On Clichà (C) After Clichà (C) After A Strong Start.
There Is A Very Interesting Car Chase, Which Adds Some Much Needed Energy To The Film. The Movie Starts Out As A Compelling Portrait Of A Flawed Family And Devolves Into An Average Crime Drama. "We Own The Night Has Some Major Flaws, But It Still Is Worth Checking Out.
