First of all,Joaquin Phoenix has got to be the Greatest young actor of his generation.I have never seen a film he's been in that I have not been moved by his performance .The rest of the cast are wonderfull also.This DVD is like a rollercoster ride.I've recommened this film to alot of my friends,and not one of them have been dissapointed.

It has Eva Mendes! That should say enough about this movie! Nah, it's really a good movie with tons of suspense and drama. Watch it and see how'd you feel if you had to fill Markey Mark's shoes!


3 out of 5 stars They stole a line from Ice Cube   September 8, 2008

We Own the Night is a pretty gritty, riveting crime drama. Not real original, but pretty intense and well acted. The story is well told and fairly realistic. Plus Eva Mendes is hot.

A nightclub owner has drug connections and family in law enforcement. He's forced to pick a side. That's basically the story.

Here's a few minor problems I had with this movie though:
-drug kingpins would probably investigate family background before they ask a guy to help run a crime ring
-Duvall & Wahlberg play roles they've done to death
-a citizen being granted honorary police status and given a gun seems pretty far-fetched
-they stole a line from Ice Cube: "Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6".

Worth a rental. NOT better than The Departed, as the critic on the back of the box claims. Not really that close either.
