We Own the Night

Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix stars in this sweeping crime drama set at the height of the bloody 1980s struggle between New York city police and a Russian mob that targeted law officers and their families. Phoenix delivers a nervy, explosive performance as a nightclub manager who has only one night to save his cop father (Academy Award winner Robert Duvall) and brother (Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg) who are next on the hit list. Well-crafted and fast-paced, We Own the Night is written and directed by James Gray and also stars Eva Mendes.
