We Own the Night (2007)

Good Adult entertainment.
Not for small children due to sex, violence and language. But certainly a good movie about the strength of family ties, lots of action and good acting.

Blu-ray
Blu-ray movies the way to go it don't get better then high def at least not yet. Oh good flick

The performances make this film
The critics were not especially kind to "We Own the Night", but it is really a very enjoyable cop/suspense film. Outstanding performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg and Robert Duvall make this a worthwhile venture. Set in the early 80's (great soundtrack, by the way), the film explores the conversion of a bad guy (Phoenix), born into a family of cops, into a hero. Eva Mendes turns in an arresting performance as Phoenix's girlfriend: touching, intense and sexy. The action in this film is stunning. There's a car chase that will make you jump out of your seat. See it. You will not be disappointed. Be aware that the sexuality, language and violence are extremely graphic.
