We Own the Night
- 12 Dec 2007
How often have we seen a car chase in a cop thriller? It's a mark of the artistry in James Gray's austere, powerhouse drama that he finds a new way to film this generic staple.

Not known for his comedic roles, Phoenix made a brief stop off in films of the funny variety, before moving onto more straight laced and serious projects. The film went onto to be a television series which featured writer Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and a... Read more

Things fall apart, as any student of crime will tell you. And if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. Andy (Philip Seymour Hoffman) has a plan. He's in accounts, and he's been embezzling funds to feed his coke habit and keep his pretty wife happy, but he knows he can't go on indefinitely. What he doesn't know, is Gina (Marisa Tomei) has been two-timing him with his brother Hank (Ethan Hawke). If he had an inkling, Andy might have laid it out differently. Or maybe not. Hank needs...
