Summary
Set in 1988 Brooklyn, a nightclub manager who has distanced himself from his police family is forced to choose sides when a Russian drug ring operating out of his club targets his brother and father, both NYPD officers. As the violence escalates, he must decide whether to help his family bring down the traffickers.
We Own the Night is a 2007 crime, drama and thriller film.
7,846 other films from the 2000s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 10,380 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 193 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 200 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where We Own the Night lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 193.
