We Own
The Night 7/10
I
finally finished watching We Own The Night which I started months
ago. I began on my Kindle but there are some things that you just can
not enjoy the same on those things. This is a movie that I had heard
of but did not know who was in it or what it was about. This is a
good, solid movie that I am surprised that not that many people have
ever mentioned this. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix, Eva
Mendes, and Robert Duvall. Seriously. With that cast how have I not
seen this movie before now? It takes place in Brooklyn, New York in
1988. Phoenix is Bobby Green. He is running a super popular night
club, doing all the drugs, having all the Mendes sex, and generally
enjoying his life. Meanwhile his brother Joseph played by Wahlberg is
a super cop. He raids the club one night and Bobby is all about not
cooperating. He fights back and is arrested. By the way, no one knows
they are related.
