We Own The Night(15)

Apr 26 2008 By Graham Young

NIGHTCLUB-running Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) and new police narcotics boss Joseph (Mark Wahlberg) are two brothers on opposite sides of the Brooklyn fence.

Their police chief father Burt (Robert Duvall) inevitably seems set for a broken heart.

The film's highlight is a brilliantly unconventional car chase, but as writer and director, James Gray (The Yards) seems too familiar with his own script to be able to give it real punch. Also available to buy for £19.99 (HD DVD £24.99)
