What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Helen Herimbi  Overall the film is pretty cool. | 10 |  |
| Die Burger Francois Blom Baie drama, min aksie. | 10 | |
| Cape Times Kevin Crust Weighty emotional scenes. | 10 | |
| The Citizen Peter Feldman A high-voltage film that plays havoc with the emotions and keeps suspense and interest on the boil until the final frame. | 16 |  |
| 24.com Christina Carstens | 5 |  |
| BBC Paul Arendt A solid, rather uninspiring police thriller, We Own The Night tackles familiar manly issues of loyalty and brotherly love, with added gunfights. | 10 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert This is an atmospheric, intense film, well acted, and when it's working it has a real urgency. | 15 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli We Own the Night offers effective drama and enough suspense to ensure that audiences will stay put until the end credits roll. | 15 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers James Gray's pulverizing crime drama is unafraid to put its passions right out where it's easy to mock them. | 15 | |
| ScreenItWe Own the Night isn't different, polished, or good enough to stand out from the crowd, regardless of what era in which it exists or tries to emulate. | 8 | |
