I just checked out "We Own the Night" on IMBd, and added it to my watch list. Cast looks great with Phoenix and Wahlberg; Eva Mendes is always worth a look, visually. And I can watch her dinner scene in "The Other Guys" over and over and it still cracks me up, same as her scenes in "Stuck on You.")
Anyone catch The Offer?
You know the book you're reading is a good one when you can't stop turning pages but as you near the end you slow down because you don't want it to end.
Same with The Offer.
Binged the first couple, but rationing to one per night for the final four because I don't want it to end.
Award season should have nominations for Giovanni Rabisi (another one of those guys who is good in everything he does, from movies like "Flight of the Phoenix" to TV like "My Name Is Earl") and Matthew Goode (if you've ever seen "The Kid Stays in the Picture" you'll see that Goode catches Evan's perfectly, not just in tone, but in vocal inflections and mannerisms.)
And Gorman as Bluhdorn steals every scene he is in (it may seem like he's pulling a Jim Carrey and overdoing it, but no - that's what Bluhdorn was like, an almost cartoon-like caricature of a profanity-spewing, loud, powerful business man.)
Well written, well acted from the entire cast, tight direction. And based on a true story, always a plus for me.
If anyone is fishing for something worth watching, give it a try.
