Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: In We Own the Night, Joaquin Phoenix, whose eyes burn with sullen anger even when he's looking at the woman he loves, plays Bobby Green, a nightclub manager in the 1980s who gets caught between his blood family he tried to leave behind--a long line of police officers--and his chosen family of friends and business partners, who turn out to be drug dealers. His father (Robert Duvall) and brother (Mark Wahlberg) want Bobby to help their investigation, but Bobby resists--until the conflict takes a brutal turn. Writer/director James Gray wears his influences on his sleeve; he's clearly seen every movie that Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola ever made and aspires to follow in their footsteps. The familiarity of the movie's territory dilutes its impact, but the plot of We Own the Night remains unpredictable, the performances have a clean vitality, and Gray's moody visual style brings some life to the genre. Phoenix (Walk the Line) dives into his role, sifting through layers of guilt and familial resentment; Wahlberg and Duvall play parts they've essentially played a dozen times, but do so with commitment and integrity. Also featuring Eva Mendes (Ghost Rider) as Bobby's devoted girlfriend, who questions just how much she'll have to give up for him. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - There's nothing more compelling than family!The biggest and best stories are all about family. This film is all about family, whether it's the fraternity of cops, the Russian mafia or just simple brothers and their father. All on different sides at the beginning, but proving that family is the strongest influence on our lives. I loved this film. Great characters brought out by skillful writing and directing. The pacing was perfect, but ADHD effects fans, game freaks probably won't agree. But they have Michael Bay to keep them happy. Rating:  - Very disappointingA great premise and a cast choc-full of my favourite actors, I thought this looked like a safe bet. Me and OH found this movie to be slow moving and dull, veering wildly from the uninteresing to the highly (and I mean highly) improbable. We struggled to get to the end. Very disappointing. That's two Mark Wahlberg duds I've watched in a row. At least this one was better than The Happening! Rating:  - Bad, no...very bad.Bad from the very first scene. Amateur writing and directing. I don't know how this got made. Rating:  - DarkI love this film.I love the bit where there driving and they get shot at and the bit with the lighter , total darkness !!! This is defo a must have , its a proper gangster drama Rating: - If you like the 'drugs and cops' theme...If you like the 'drugs and cops' theme... then you should enjoy this film. While it isn't highly original, it is still engaging. The roles a played well by a good combination of actors. However, I'm a fan of both Eva Mendes and Joaquin Phoenix, maybe i'm somewhat biased. In reality I'd probably give 3 and a half stars, but thats not possible. Not outstanding but definitely worth a fiver.
