We Own the Night

[Albereth]

A cop story. Basically a brother from a family of cops runs a night club that is involved with the Russian mafia. Long story shortended a bit the cops want him to keep his eyes open and the baddies want him to distribute their product.

Blood is thicker than water and he goes from being a drug user to signing up for the police force.

Not a lot of action. Solid drama and you don't feel good like you did at the end of Tarzan movies when the hero swept in a dealt with the slave traders or whatever bad guy was around.

We Own the Night was the slogan of the NYPD in the 70s and 80s when they fought the drug lords to take back the streets. You just don't get that sense in this movie so it may be a little disappointing in that regard.

See Blinky's thread on American Gangster - that sounds better

Pretty good movie, but I must say I enjoyed American Gangster a bit more

I still want to see it
After "Walk the like" Phoenix can't do wrong in my eyes, so i'm suspecting i'll like this.
