We Own The Night

A crime thriller from a few years ago. In the late 1980's, night club owner Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) gets embroiled in a struggle between Russian drug dealers and the cops, represented by his brother (Mark Wahlberg) and his father (Robert Duvall).


A good story, if a bit by the numbers, and somewhat unevenly paced. Phoenix is good, but the supporting cast is underused, especially Duvall and Eva Mendes as Green's girlfriend. However, it makes for a better than average pizza movie.
