We Own The Night / USA / 2007

I can’t really believe for a moment that Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg are brothers but once you get past this, you’re quickly pulled into Gray’s weighty and thoughtful crime drama. Less time is spent on the predictable features (Bobby’s rebelliousness, the undercover operation) than on its major theme of how we’re drawn back inevitably into our family, to the ties of love and loyalty, all played off to a style (evoking the best of the seventies) of an anti-gloss drab realism. .
