The Yards (2000)

Movie Blurb

I’ve been watching the James Gray New York Collection on the Criterion Channel. I can’t believe how good they are. I’ve seen a couple in the past like The Immigrant and We Own the Night, and I remember them to have been quite excellent. I don’t know how I missed some of these other little gems like Little Odessa and The Yards, which I watched last night. Outstanding performances by an ensemble cast including Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix Charlize Theron, James Caan, Faye Dunaway, and Ellen Burstyn. I will continue to watch the rest of the collection. I enjoy the character-driven stories taking place in a city that I love, New York, which has a character all its own.
