Family ties are broken as one brother decides on a life of drugs, clubs and money and the other following their father’s footsteps as a committed New York police officer.
The crowd dances up a storm while the lights illuminate with strobe light flashes the dramatic gold, fuchsia and royal blue costumes of the ‘70’s. Blondie plays at the club giving it a Studio 54 feel as the owner of the club, Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix), and his girlfriend (Eva Mendez) passionately kiss.
The scene quickly turns from all night partying to the serious New York Police Department during an award ceremony. The police chief, Burt Gruinsky (Robert Duval), congratulates his son and fellow cop, Joseph Gruinsky (Mark Walberg), on his dedication to the force.
The police violently raid the club after a suspicious Russian gangster is seen lurking about the place. Bobby then must choose between his family and his fast paced lifestyle.
"We Own the Night" is a drama filled film where two brothers from different worlds decide to work together as they are reminded of the importance of family, honor and forgiveness.

You were very indepth with your second paragraph. I liked how you didn't give away too much of the movie. But at the same time I think you needed more info on the movie instead of the first 20 minutes. I saw the movie as well. I don't think my review of this movie is as detailed as yours. Also your second paragraph helped me know what I missed since I showed up late.
