Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced the release of We Own The Night on DVD, Blu-ray High-Def and PSP February 12th.
This action-driven mob thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix (Walk The Line, Gladiator), Mark Wahlberg (The Departed, Shooter), Robert Duvall (Tender Mercies, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) and Eva Mendes (Ghost Rider) arrives on disc with exclusive bonus features, including a commentary with writer/director James Gray and three action-packed “making of” featurettes, for the suggested retail price of $28.95 (DVD), $38.96 (BD) and $24.94 (PSP). Bobby Green (Phoenix) is the popular manager of El Caribe, the legendary Russian-owned nightclub in Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach. For Bobby, every night is a party as he greets friends and customers or dances with his beautiful Puerto Rican girlfriend, Amada Juarez (Mendes), in a haze of cigarette smoke and disco music.
But it is 1988, and New York City’s drug trade is escalating. He has changed his last name and concealed his connection to a long line of prominent New York police officers. Bobby tries to keep his distance from a Russian gangster operating out of the nightclub – a gangster also targeted by his brother, Joseph Grusinsky (Wahlberg), an up-and-coming NYPD officer, and his father, Burt Grusinsky (Duvall), the legendary deputy chief of police. Written and directed by James Gray (The Yards, Little Odessa) and produced by Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg, Couper Samuelson and Mike Upton (The Ex, In Bloom), We Own The Night also stars Danny Hoch (Lucky You, War of the Worlds), Tony Musante (The Yards), Antoni Corone (Reservation Road), Oleg Taktarov (Miami Vice, National Treasure, Bad Boys II) and Alex Veadov (Contact, Air Force One).
