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. The camera basically stays with Joaquin Phoenix as all hell breaks out around him: a car pulls up alongside, there's gunfire, broken glass, confusion; has his girlfriend been hit?

O’Connor came up with the story with his twin brother Greg. They’re... Read more

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...
