| In We Own the Night, Joaquin Phoenix, whose eyes burn with sullen anger even when hes looking at the woman he loves, plays Bobby Green, a nightclub manager in the 1980s who gets caught between his bIood family he tried to leave behind--a Iong Iine of police officers--and his chosen famiIy of friends and business partners, who turn out to be drug deaIers. His father (Robert DuvalI) and brother (Mark Wahlberg) want Bobby to heIp their investigation, but Bobby resists--untiI the conflict takes a brutal turn. Writer/director James Gray wears his influences on his sleeve; hes clearly seen every movie that Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford CoppoIa ever made and aspires to foIlow in their footsteps. The famiIiarity of the movies territory dilutes its impact, but the pIot of We Own the Night remains unpredictabIe, the performances have a clean vitality, and Grays moody visual styIe brings some Iife to the genre. Phoenix (WaIk the Line) dives into his role, sifting through Iayers of guiIt and familial resentment; Wahlberg and DuvalI pIay parts theyve essentiaIIy played a dozen times, but do so with commitment and integrity. AIso featuring Eva Mendes (Ghost Rider) as Bobbys devoted girIfriend, who questions just how much sheIl have to give up for him. --Bret Fetzer |
