Customer Ratings & Reviews

After spending time in prison for auto theft, Leo (Mark Wahlberg), decides it's time to go the straight and narrow. Returning home from prison, Leo, takes a job at his uncle Frank's (James Caan) company working on contracts with the New York City subway system. Once on the job, Leo, meets his uncle's top guy (Joaquin Phoenix), and before long, he realizes his uncle is involved with corruption, and payoffs. "The Yards" is a gritty drama that sports an excellent cast;Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix, Charlize Theron, James Caan, Ellen Burstyn, and Faye Dunaway. Although, slowly paced, the film puts a smart, and interesting spin on big city corruption. Very much a character driven film, "The Yards" will disappoint those looking for fast action. But anyone looking for an intelligent, well acted movie will be pleased with this one.

I love that best buy had this movie. Thank you!!!!!

When Mark Walberg's character is paroled from prison to be united with his family, and friends to only find out that there are no good jobs that he can make a good living. James Caan his now stepfather who just happens to be the thug in the subway repairing rackets.

Opening Scene: Commenter train rumbling on its’ tracks. This is a story about an extended working class family in Queens [a superb of New York City], NY. An all-star cast is coupled with an interesting sound-track to tell this tale of crime in the big city is realistically told but it does not emotionally connect with the viewer. After your first view I doubt that you will be drawn back to it for a 2nd view. Ending Scene: The story ends where it began – a ride on the train with Ending Credits background the Yard.

....Joaquin Phoenix, Faye Dunaway, Ellen Burstyn and James Caan...A crime thriller that is so authentic and a 1999 release that I really enjoyed!

This movie kind of fell off of the map. But come on! Marki Mark, Charleze Theron, and Juaquin Pheonix, NUFF SAID!!

this is and older movie but has a very good story, the drama is good enough to keep you interested till the end

This one didn't really knock it out of the park for me. I thought the pacing was a bit slow... performance were good though. I just didn't feel invested into to this one when I watching it. I may have to take another look, but not sure how well it will hold up to repeated viewings.

I bought it because it was cheap and it had one of my favorite actors, Mark Wahlberg as well as a great supporting cast of actors. I was hoping for a thriller with an ending I didm}t see coming but it was instead a slow burn with no fire. A 6 out of 10 in my book.

Good movie! If you like Wahlberd, I do recommend this film.

Didnt know this movie existed before Bestbuy put it on sale, very impressed.

This was really great pay per view, I highly recommend this item

Great deal for this awesome movie! Thanks again, Best Buy!!

cheap movie not bad worth the 5 bucks i paid for it

I still own the original DVD release & it had a decent amount of special features on it but this blu ray release was bare bones! It does make up for it in picture quality & sound! Keep the DVD if you own but upgrade for better quality on this blu.

We have not seen this movie and were glad when we were able to purchase this movie from BestBuy at a great price.

Not bad. A very dark drama about crime and family. Caan was awesome.

This movie was semi decent but I got it for a great price

Love the cast, one of the good drama suspense films of that year.

Great representation of a great movie. So glad I bought it.
