( - Making Of 'We Own The Night'
New York, 1988: A new breed of narcotics has swept the great city, bringing with it a ferocious crime wave more terrifying than any in recent memory. Outmanned and outgunned by the new criminal order, the police find themselves burying one of their own at the rate of two a month. An all-out war rages, threatening to engulf guilty and innocent alike.
Bobby Green is caught in the crossfire. Manager of a Russian nightclub in Brighton Beach frequented by gangsters like Vadim Nezhinski, Bobby keeps his distance, not wanting to get involved. Bobby harbours a secret though...one that could threaten his and his family's lives. His brother is a police Lieutenant and when all out war between the two factions breaks out, Bobby must choose a side...

An excellent cast line up for this film and quite a good story, could have done with a few more action sequences but all in all an enjoyable watch.
'a cracking good tale, headed by some great actors'

two brothers at war, one following family tradition in the 'nypd' ( mark walberg ) the other on the edge of of the law ( played by 'joaquin pheonix )
the latter runs a night club, turning a blind eye to criminal behavior like drug use and dealing.
the father, a police chief ( played by 'robert duvall' ) quite obviously favours the son who is following in his foot-steps, this in itself causes unease between the brothers.
only when the 'nypd' brother become a target of a 'hit-man' does
'bobby' ( joaquin ) begin to put his family ties first.
this is an absorbing film that holds your interest throughout / great cast and a great watch.
The movie drags in parts but for the most part it isn't boring and kept my attention. Although there was not much that really set the movie high above the average crime thriller, it did leave an impact on me at the end. I recommend the movie to those who are looking to pass the time.
