We Own The Night


What a movie! It opens with a stunning, sizzling sexy Eva Mendes scene (a tease). Then a walk through the night club sets a very cool hip vibe for the film. The movie has nothing less than a STELLAR cast! Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Duvall and the smoking hot Mendes, whom I mentioned. Already this is the makings of a must see. Drugs, sex, and parties! Phoenix role is a manager of a successful night club; you'll get an idea of Bobby Greens life. That is, one side. His family, well, they are a family of cops. Imagine how that goes over. Ha. This life has consequences, we soon see tragedy hits close to home. Well the shit hits the fan (so to speak) and Bobby Greens life starts to unravel. He pays costs he never imagined. Revenge is a bitch! And the ending is very great. The movie does drag its feet for a portion through the center. But at just that moment (before the yawn) comes a HUGE surprise and intense sequence will jolt your heart-rate back into action. The conclusion , though not surprising, is satisfying. Overall, it is very much worth watching. Check it out.
