Brooklyn, 1988. Crime is rife, especially drugs and drug violence. A Russian thug is building his heroin trade, while everyone laughs at the cops. Brothers have chosen different paths: Joe has followed his father Bert into New York's Finest; he's a rising star. Bobby, who uses his mother's maiden name, manages a club. Bobby too is on the rise: he has a new girlfriend and a green-light to develop a Manhattan club. Joe and Bert ask him to help with intelligence gathering; he declines. Then, Joe raids Bobby's club to arrest the Russian. From there, things spiral out of control: the Russian puts out a hit on Joe, personal losses mount, and Bobby's loyalties face the test.

Movie Reviews

ComingSoon.net - 9/10 by Edward DouglasAn old school character-driven police drama that comes from the heart of a filmmaker who's clearly in complete sync with his cast and crew.
Film Freak Central - 9/10 by Walter ChawAn obviously talented director relying on an obviously limited screenwriter/scenarist.
Philadelphia Daily News - 9/10 by Gary ThompsonWhen the bodies are sorted out, though, Gray wants us to feel the sting of loss, and it's just not there.
Entertainment Spectrum - 9/10 by Vince KoehlerThis movie is spellbinding and I found myself captivated throughout.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyAt Cannes Film Fest, this melodrama about fathers and sons, cops and criminals in the Russian milieu, was dismissed as overly familiar, a genre flick done many times before on TV and the big screen, including James Gray himself--and with the same actors.
Associated Press - 8/10 by David GermainLike The Yards, We Own the Night is broody to the point of anesthesia and operatic to the verge of bombast. And like its predecessor, the new film takes itself far too seriously.
Salon.com - 8/10 by Andrew O'HehirAn intriguing blend of mainstream audience-pleaser and a more subtle, even intellectual agenda.
Planet Sick-Boy - 8/10 by Jon PopickInstead of playing to the strength of its leads, the script almost seems to highlight their weaknesses (in other words, you don't see Wahlberg's abs once).
The Ringer - 8/10 by Adam NaymanThis is complex stuff, and Gray gives it a sense of gravity that comes through not only in the acting-with Phoenix's increasingly heavy-souled performance anchoring things in nearly every shot-but also the filmmaking.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanThe story is too patterned and too contrived.
