What if your own family stood in the way of everything you worked for? Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) has forsaken his name to escape his family and their tradition in law enforcement to pursue his ambitions as a Brooklyn nightclub owner. As he turns a blind eye to the drug dealers around him, he comes face to face with the family he abandoned when his brother (Mark Wahlberg) and father (Robert Duvall) crack down on the club. Now Bobby must choose a side. Is he going to turn informant or will he help run the biggest crime ring in New York history?...

Notes
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Joe goes to jail to pick up Vadim, the desk attendant reviews a clipboard with the prisoner's booking slip. Vadim's photo is clearly affixed to a report with someone else's info on it (report indicates a black defendant named "Robert Anderson," among other inconsistencies). (more)
