We Own the Night

This review Roger Ebert gives We Own the Night a three star review. The reason being is that the movie in itself is not all that original, for the material is similar to films such as “The Departed: (2006), and “Infernal Affairs” (2002). These movies also had a plot where two brothers were on two different sides of the war. Overall, Elbert did state that the film was intense and had good acting, but most importantly he liked that the film explored the fact of whose lives owned the night, for “We Own the Night” was a slogan used by New York police in the 1980s.
