IMDB

Synopsis: Leo Handler (Wahlberg) has just been released from prison for a car theft he didn't commit. Looking for a job, he finds his uncle Frank Olchin (Caan) who runs a railway car repair company. Joining on the job, he works with Willie (Phoenix). One night, a night heist goes bad on a rival company and a rail yard supervisor is stabbed and a cop beaten. Leo is fingered as a suspect. He must go on the run and prove his innocence and then bring down Frank and his company.
Mark Wahlberg’s role is one he was born to play – a working class kid brooding with menace and resentment – and he gives a career performance. Joaquin Phoenix is as charismatic as Wahlberg is restrained, demonstrating brilliant emotional range. Theron shows equal if not greater depth.

The film flawlessly cast, pairing two generations of terrific actors. Caan and Dunaway are sublime in this, expressing so much with a bare minimum of dialogue, while Ellen Burstyn’s chemistry with Wahlberg is something special.
