WE OWN THE NIGHT

JOAQUIN PHOENIX, EVA MENDES, MARK WAHLBERG

15 Anew breed of narcotics has swept New York, bringing with it a ferocious crime wave more terrifying than any in recent memory. Outmanned and outgunned by the new criminal order, the police find themselves burying one of their own at the rate of two a month. Bobby Green (Phoenix) is caught in the crossfire. Manager of a Russian nightclub, Bobby keeps his distance, not wanting to get involved. But Bobby has a secret - his brother is Police Captain Joseph Grusinsky (Wahlberg), who has followed in the footsteps of their father, Deputy Chief Bert Grusinsky (Robert Duvall). Bobby's already strained relationship with his father and brother is tested when Burt warns his son that this is a war, and he has to choose a side.
