 As decorated NYPD cops Joseph Grusinsky (Mark Wahlberg) and his father, Burt (Robert Duvall), prepare to take on a newly powerful and dangerous Russian drug dealer, they never thought they would be turning to Joseph’s black sheep brother, Bobby (Joaquin Phoenix).
Caught in the middle, Bobby and his girlfriend, Amada (Eva Mendes), are forced to choose sides – between the familial ties he has rejected and a future he cannot avoid. Columbia Pictures’ and 2929 Productions’ We Own the Night is an emotional crime thriller written and directed by James Gray (The Yards, Little Odessa).
The film, which takes its title from the motto of the 1980s-era NYPD street crimes unit, was produced by Nick Wechsler, Marc Butan, Mark Wahlberg, and Joaquin Phoenix, and executive produced by Todd Wagner, Mark Cuban and Anthony Katagas.
Writer-director James Gray, who previously garnered critical acclaim for his films The Yards and Little Odessa, takes the helm of Columbia Pictures’/2929 Productions’ We Own the Night. “This is a film that works in a specific and familiar genre – the police movie,” explains Gray. “But normally the police movie focuses on procedure – finding the bad guy.
