We Own the Night

if you watch the reviews after the movie you will see how great an actor Joaquin phoenix is. all the others played their roles and you could feel the rage in the fight scene between brothers and...Phoenix and his friend at the end............The only scene i felt might be alittle over the top was when they granted him the badge before the Police
Academy.is this ever done..great movie though. I would watch J>P> in anything...and He has proven he is great in most all his roles. All three are great to watch

with joaquin phoenix, mark wahlberg and robert duvall, this movie should have been as riveting as the departed or training day but it wasn't. the opening shot of eva mendes having some five-digit fun turned me off and phoenix' character bobby just grew more and more morose as the film dragged on. i did enjoy the portrayal of the brotherhood among new york police officers because it showed that most of them really are heroes.

Don't get me wrong this is a very good well acted, directed movie. Here's the but, It has a been there done that feel to it. It tried like hell to be shake up the cops and robbers formular, and maybe that's the problem. As much as I liked it and would recommend this film, if you don't see it your missing a well acted & directed cops and robbers film. It will never make top 100 list of greatest movies ever.

I enjoyed this film. Phoenix always does a wonderful job of acting. The mix of characters were great.

in a not very good movie. Duvall, usually a marvelous actor is wooden, tired, Wahlberg also usually marvelous, literally phones his lines in and Phoenix who was simply brilliant as Johnny Cash relies on twitches and tics to indicate emotion in his character. A fine bunch of supporting actors given dull dialogue in an even duller plot. An uninspired shame of a movie, not even good enough to be given B status.
