We Own The Night Blu-Ray

 

 

Two brothers on opposite sides of the law. Beyond their differences lies loyalty.

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 his nightclub - a gangster that is being targeted by his brother, Joseph, an up-and-coming NYPD officer, and his father, Burt (Robert Duvall), the legendary deputy chief of police. We Own the Night is 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. The film takes its title from the motto of the 1980s-era NYPD street crimes unit. Written and directed by James Gray (The Yards, Little Odessa).
