Description

Academy Award-nominee Edward Norton (Best Actor, 1999, American History X) heads an amazing all-star cast in the critically acclaimed Spike Lee (Summer of Sam, Do the Right Thing) film 25th Hour. In 24 short hours Monty Brogan (Norton) goes to prison for seven long years. Once a king of Manhattan, Monty is about to say good-bye to the life he knew -- a life that opened doors to New York's swankest clubs but also alienated him from the people closest to him. In his last day on the outside, Monty tries to reconnect with his father (Brian Cox, The Bourne Identity), and gets together with two old friends, Jacob (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Almost Famous) and Slaughtery (Barry Pepper, The Green Mile). And then there's his girlfriend, Naturelle (Rosario Dawson, Men In Black 2), who might (or might not) have been the one who tipped off the cops. Monty's not sure of much these days, but with time running out, there are choices to be made as he struggles to redeem himself in the 25th hour.

    With the exception of Malcolm X, most of Lee's career has been dedicated to capturing the 8 million stories that make up NYC. From Son of Sam, to Do the Right Thing. This is his best work. It's about relationships. Life long friendship and the different paths taken and choices made. Ultimately it's about love and trust. What would you do...go to prison or run and leave your life behind. No chase scenes, no explosions, no cheap thrills, just a great story and great acting. The last 10 minutes (his father's dialog) are riveting - "I tell you I believe in God's Kingdom, and I believe I'll see you again...but not in this life" - WOW I highly recommend this film.
  • Great Movie!

    It won't appeal to everyone, but it's just an extremely well done cerebral flick.
  • Great cast but slow, uninteresting story with dull cinematography

    I downloaded this film because I think Edward Norton is a great actor who has done some really great films. With the other names associated with this film, I expected quite an interesting bit of entertainment. It ended up being quite long and slow moving without much of anything to grab your interest. I kept on waiting for something original to happen but it never really did. The cinematography was not particularly moving either, though I should give credit to two short scenes that were nicely shot. I'm usually quite a generous person, but I really felt this was not an interesting film.
