In the climax of the film, Bobby Green (played by Joaquin Phoenix) confronts his family’s criminal past and works with the police to bring down a drug cartel.
Throughout the movie, Bobby, a nightclub manager, tries to distance himself from his family’s ties to organized crime. His brother, Joseph Grusinsky (played by Mark Wahlberg), is a police officer who urges Bobby to help them gather evidence against a Russian drug lord named Vadim Nezhinski (played by Alex Veadov).
In the final moments of the film, Bobby realizes the importance of his family and decides to cooperate with the police. He agrees to wear a wire and gather incriminating evidence against Vadim, putting himself in grave danger.
During a tense confrontation, the police raid Vadim’s compound, resulting in a shootout. Bobby manages to escape with Joseph’s help, but Joseph is seriously injured in the process.
The film ends with Bobby reconciling with his father, Burt Grusinsky (played by Robert Duvall), and acknowledging his family’s legacy. He also begins a new relationship with Amada Juarez (played by Eva Mendes), Joseph’s partner.
Through its gritty portrayal of crime and redemption, “We Own the Night” delivers a powerful conclusion that explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the bonds of family. As the credits roll, viewers are left with a sense of resolution and catharsis.
