Movie Reviews of We Own the Night
Movie Review: Blu-ray
Summary: 4 Stars
Blu-ray movies the way to go it don't get better then high def at least not yet. Oh good flickMovie Review: The Actors Own "The Night"
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Movie Review: Could of been better
Summary: 3 Stars
It started nicely then went to hell knows where,It seemed Joaquin Phoenix was going to be the "bad guy" which would have been better for the movie.He hears something "bad" and tells the police which seems to be mainly made up of family members.At another point he then goes undercover of sorts by wearing a wiretap to a meeting and of course all hell breaks loose.His father gets killed in a chase scene (which I enjoyed how it was filmed).So from there Joaquin becomes what he hates (a cop) then goes on a man hunt with his die hard cop brother.Now his brother was shot in the head but lived and when there is a gun fight near the end Mark Wahlberg goes all loopy and Joaquin goes gung ho.Had me going "wha?"Worth a rental not a purchase.Movie Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
well to start off in my personal opinion i love this movie (maybe because im a big fan of gangster movies lol) but really this movie is great to me in my opinion if you want to watch a good gangster movie then this is it.....Movie Review: Well done, a little different, good acting
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a really good movie. I had not seen it promoted so didn't know what to expect. Although as some have said the plot is a little familiar, it's different. There are some unexpected outcomes that surprise subtley, rather than hit you over the head with their violence. And the movie crackles with a reality rare in cop/drug dealer films. Phoenix is undoubtedly the star, portraying the reluctant hero - a drug-indulging nightclub manager in a family of cops. What happens to his cop brother played by Wahlberg is also very real and you get a very "real" feeling from this movie, especially in the last half. It does not have the sugary happy good-guy movie ending either which I appreciated. It realistically portrays in an entertaining way some conflicted, sad situations.
