We Own the Night (2007)

New York City is really a nice place to live. Now. In fact, the metropolis once dreaded as "the Rotten Apple" has become amazingly safe and increasingly comfortable. That is, of course, if you’ve got the money, honey. That Gotham-history preface is necessary because We Own the Night (2007) is another gritty crime drama about the most naked of cities, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg as brothers on opposite sides of the law. It is a period piece, the era being the late ’80s—when police cars were marked with the movie's titular phrase, as a warning to the hordes of wild scum overrunning the streets—but the real piece here in Eva Mendes. The Latina lust bomb who made 2 Fast 2 Furious a car-chase movie you could really rev your engine to elevate Night's already thrilling drama to a full boil thanks to her electrifying erotic presence. Black hair, tan skin, dark eyes, voluptuous curves, and one perfect right casaba—that's what Eva Mendes is made of. Her half-a-rack reveal in Night marks brick house-built brunette Eva's second skinematic unveiling, the first being her full-frontal flash in the Denzel Washington dirty-cop blow-out Training Day (2001). But if you’ve got the money, buy this movie and see Eva's brown-tipped honey. It’s sweet. We Own the Night is extremely well-made and filled with just enough seductiveness from Eva that any flesh fiend would be well-served checking it out. It's a shame that Mendes wasn't given the opportunity to give us more masturbation fuel, but that's okay!
