    People don't seem to remember the movie theater crisis of 2007 and the shortage of venues because Eva Mendes had literally burned all the screens that showed WE OWN THE NIGHT

    Big fan. I really love the early cycle of crime films - Little Odessa, The Yards, We Own the Night - and I think his best film came next, Two Lovers. The switch into bigger budget epics hasn't always been smooth. Lost City of Z is excellent; Ad Astra didn't work perfectly for me...

    Robert Duvall GREAT PERFORMANCES I'm not seeing ANYONE talk about: FALLING DOWN (dir. Joel Schumacher's only good film imo) A NIGHT IN OLD MEXICO WE OWN THE NIGHT (about crooked cops, came out on the heals of The Departed so was overlooked. IMO, it's FAR superior. Duvall's role is small) #FilmSky

    Been unironically listening to We Own The Night from that one zombie disney movie... Completely unrelated to that is this Boothill I made a long while back!

    I think The Yards is a better film, it has a much more realistic plot than We Own the Night, and a much more downbeat tone. It perhaps doesn't have a setpiece as good as the car chase in the rain, or the nightclub scenes, but its pervasive tone of dread is really well-done.

    #333. We Own the Night - 8/10 It's interesting how this film transcends time. It is a period piece, yet the time between when it takes place and when it released is the same between when it released and when I watched it. And guess what? It holds up and holds up better than frankly most 2007 films.

    #272. We Own the Night There are a few scenes in this (and also Ad Astra) that make me think it'd be cool if James Gray directed a horror movie. It would not make money, it would get like a D Cinemascore, but I would see it.

    Been on my radar for some time as a movie I’ve wanted to try to watch. Wahlberg and Phoenix were great in WE OWN THE NIGHT with the same director. What really put this on my radar was seeing that Tomas Milian and Tony Musante had supporting roles in it. #markwahlberg #nowwatching #filmsky

    I loved James Gray’s gritty crime drama We Own the Night (2007). No idea how this one escaped me. 3 of the most gripping sequences I’ve ever seen are in this film. Astounding performance from Joaquin Phoenix as usual. Mark Wahlberg is excellent too with more subtle acting.

    We Own the Night was a great little thriller. I hadn’t watched this since it came out 15 years ago, and it holds up so well, better than I remember. boxd.it/8jK7kT

    We Own the Night is leaving Criterion in a few days, and it is a really good film. A brilliant reinterpretation of The Godfather, where the crime family the son returns to is ... the NYPD.

    We Own The Night: 8/10 Having Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg in a movie is the closest we're going to get to an actual hydrogen bomb vs a coughing baby

    Every time Josh Charles is in a new show it's a chance to remember how the Dundalk accent he did in We Own the Night was simultaneously one of the most accurate yet also most distracting things ever committed to film.

    I'm two minutes into Homefront, a Statham action nonsense, and it's already better than We Own The Night. I love Joaquin Phoenix but that film would have been better with Statham in the role.

    gph.is/28LnKBz Amazed that they managed to take this sort of subject matter and make it boring. Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
