Set against the backdrop of the bloody battle waged between New York City cops and the Russian mafia in the 1980s, director James Gray's period drama tells the tale of an emerging club manager whose family ties to law enforcement make him a target for the city's most dangerous criminals. Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) manages one of Gotham's hottest clubs, but being in the club scene often means turning a blind eye to blatant criminal activities. Realizing that his career -- and perhaps his life -- could come to a sudden end if anyone discovers that his father, Bert (Robert Duvall), is the deputy chief of police and his brother, Joseph (Mark Wahlberg), is a rising star on the force, Bobby struggles to keep that sensitive information from everyone except his devoted girlfriend, Amada (Eva Mendes). Russian kingpin Vadim (Alex Veadov) is a ruthless criminal who is willing to permanently silence anyone who dares cross him -- regardless of whether the person is a stranger on the street or a lifelong member of the family. When the Russian mafia declares all-out war against the NYPD, conflicted Bobby is forced to choose between his life of luxury and the family that he has worked so fervently to separate himself from. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Rick M.

One my favorite cop movies. Good story, intense & suspensful throughout. I found the moral dilemas within the family realistic & it made the story that much more complelling. Having lived in NYC, I also enjoyed use of the real-life locations; Cue Motor Inn & El Caribe (although the latter is a nice restaurant, not a night club).

This was a good movie. Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg are both excellent in this movie. This movie had an excellent story line. It does have some violence and bad language in it but it is a good movie. Definitely worth watching. I enjoyed this movie. Joaquin Phoenix does his usual excellent job of acting. Probably not the best Gangster movie ever mad but it is definitely enjoyable. I give this one 5 stars! Worth the time it takes to watch! Must See!

This movie is watchable but a bit predictable. The characters could definitely have been better developed.
