SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) has turned his back on the family
business. The popular manager of El Caribe, the legendary
Russian-owned nightclub in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach, he has
changed his last name and concealed his connection to a long
line of distinguished New York cops. For Bobby, every night
is a party, as he greets friends and customers or dances with
his beautiful Puerto Rican girlfriend, Amada (Eva Mendes),
in a haze of cigarette smoke and disco music.
But it's 1988, and New York City's drug trade is escalating.
Bobby tries to keep a friendly distance from the Russian gangster
who is operating out of the nightclub - a gangster who is
being targeted by his brother, Joseph (Mark Wahlberg), an
up-and-coming NYPD officer, and his father, Burt (Robert Duvall),
the legendary deputy chief of police.
Columbia Pictures' and 2929 Productions' "We Own the
Night", an emotional crime drama about a man who has
chosen to hide his past only to discover that he has to confront
an inevitable future, takes its title from the motto of the
1980s-era NYPD street crimes unit. Written and directed by
James Gray (The Yards, Little Odessa).
