We Own the Night

We Own the Night (2007) is a crime drama by James Gray you can watch online on iFILM. Late-1980s Brooklyn, where the Russian mob moves heroin and the NYPD answers with raids.

Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) runs a loud nightclub and keeps quiet about one thing: his father Burt (Robert Duvall) and brother Joseph (Mark Wahlberg) are cops. His boss is tied to the drug trade, so the double life suits Bobby fine, until a hit nearly kills his brother and puts his father next on the list. After that there is no fence to sit on. Blood or the club, and no road back.

Gray cares less about shootouts than about guilt and the family loyalty that tears a man in half. Eva Mendes plays Bobby's girlfriend, dragged into a war that was never hers. The rain-soaked car chase is one of the most nerve-shredding scenes of its decade. Stream We Own the Night (2007) online on iFILM.
