Favorable Review
Atmosphere, intensity, and more Russians than the Bolshoi Ballet

What do you get when you mix 3 of the finest actors working today with a standard crime drama involving the Russian mob?  You get an immensely watchable movie that makes you care about the characters enough to get invested in the outcome.

The title references the slogan painted on New York City police... review »

Critical Review
Mediocre Tale of Two Brothers is a Waste of Acting Talent
SEP

2008
When I read the DVD synopsis of the movie, We Own The Night, I was expecting an intense thriller with fine acting and a smart story.  Instead, I found the movie to be completely unoriginal, a bit tedious, and often predictable.

Joaquin Phoenix stars as Bobby Green and Mark Wahlberg takes on the role...

  After seeing the trailer for We Own the Night last year, I was hoping it would be a worthwhile film.  Then I heard it was booed in Cannes, and when it was released it got mostly mediocre reviews and didn't last long in theaters.  I figured.. too bad but there's plenty of crime and gangster stories to watch already.

Then a friend and very talented writer, film critic declared the movie one of the best of 2007 and he said he might even go on record as saying the movie was better than The Godfather?

I took the statement with a grain of salt, but obviously this film is something I needed to see....

We Own the Night was a well done movie.  Jaquine Phoneix was great along with Robert Duvall and Mark Wahlberg.  It's a powerful dramatic story with some action in between.  Tear-Jerker none the least.  Enjoy the movie.  It's a good one.
