Gray takes the generational melodrama of the gangster epic and applies it with interesting dramatic effect to the cop drama. The density of family and city history and tense, matter-of-fact procedure/gruesome violence of the milieu are all there but permeated by a moody…

I love that under Gray's direction, Joaquin really feels like a movie star rather than a sideshow oddity. obv other directors have pulled on this quality too, but Gray feels the most consistent. I wish their paths would cross again. I love how Gray's work has grown from…
fran hoepfnerNov 8, 2017We Own the Night has one of the coolest car chase scenes ever filmed. It’s raining cats and dogs, and it features an intense high speed pursuit, bullets blazing, shotguns exploding and tragic consequences. Through research, I’ve discovered the scene was filmed on a sunny…

The Curious Case of James Gray: This director has made numerous nearly-great movies, and I consistently seek out his work because there are always standout scenes that make the experience worthwhile. I remain hopeful that Gray will still create his masterpiece. “We Own…

- Matchew lovedWe Own the Night
Didn’t expect to like this movie as much as I did. It was predictable at times but the acting itself definitely carried this movie and created a crazy emotional connection
Partyhands dislikedWe Own the NightVery simple, pretty boring, nothing new. His family are cops. He’s a guy in the wrong crowd. He gets asked to be an informant, then accidentally gets in deep with the opposition. Last half of the movie was ok. The final twist was pretty good. 5/10
Zero likedWe Own the NightJoaquin Phoenix’s performance was great and it really showcased Joaquin’s range. the soundtrack really met the vibe with everyone’s performances. it’s a low tier great movie that killed it. (7/10)

Gray knows how to sell the idea of unalterable destiny with a car chase: That’s the mark of a real action director.
David Edelstein
New York Magazine (Vulture)
We Own the Night is defiantly, refreshingly unhip.
Peter Travers
Rolling Stone
Adequately acted and flecked with the required quota of action to satisfy genre fans, pic recalls numerous good police dramas of the 1970s, but mostly in superficial ways that bring nothing new to the table.
