Not as good as we own the night

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2007)

The comeback of 70's style movies is in full swing. Maybe 3-D movies will be next. I like the sound track, feel, and pace of the movie. Washington is a OK actor, and the rest of the cast is good. Crowe plays a strong role, but the script seem to typecast Crowe into a flat character. The script is strong, and the shoot out is memorable. Borlin shines playing a dirty cop. A true standout performance. The stages, camera angles, and diolouge is right out a 70's cop show. I liked the movie. I found We Own the Night had a slicker feel and more tension. I would rent Americian Gangster, but buy We Own the Night. 6 out of 10. Good for a Saturday movie night.
