We Own The Night - Gray, 2007

We Own The Night is a generally solid police drama with a few serious plot holes. Phoenix and Wahlberg are the sons of police chief Duvall. Initially, only Wahlberg is in the police force, but Phoenix gets dragged in after Duvall gets wacked. The acting by the main three is generally good.

The scenes with Phoenix and his girl friend are weak. And the scene where his friend accidentally mentions the hotel Phoenix was hidden away in is just laughable. What a cheap plot line!

Still, there is more good than bad here. The atmosphere is gritty and aside from a few scenes, it feels real. A 6 rating.
