25th Hour tells the story of Monty Brogan's last day of freedom. He was convicted to 7 years in prison for drug dealing. Edward Norton plays Monty and he never disappoints me. He is always capable of doing a great emotional performance. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Barry Pepper play Monty's best friends, both gave very strong performances. There are such remarkable scenes in this film like the powerful "make me ugly" scene. Barry Pepper together with Norton made that scene so authentic, it's beautiful and the amazing "mirror" scene where Norton blames basicaly everyone in the world for his fate. The final scene is also powerful, when a father dreams about a much brighter future for his son. The connection with 9/11 events are very strong. New York City like Monty, will never be the same again. He can't run away from his fate, he can't undone his mistakes in life, he really is going to prison. It's real.

A very somber and depressing movie. Spike Lee does a lot to make the time we have with Monty meaningful. That mirror scene is amazing. Edward Norton is fantastic. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Barry Pepper both give great supporting performances.

It’s alright, I don’t think this quite gets to the heart of anything truly interesting. Any thematic resemblance this is supposed to have to 9/11 seems a little thin to me, which makes sense because most of this movie was actually shot before 9/11. Technically, I found some of the cinematography and editing to be ill-conceived (those repetitive edits, why?), the music during the opening credits in particular is very distasteful. The acting’s pretty decent (Norton easily outperforms everyone), the scene with the mirror being the very clear highlight of the film. A lot of it just feels banal, it often focuses on uninteresting side characters or it’s coasting too much on the idea of it being Monty’s last day to make scenes feel more special than they are. The main character’s certainly compelling enough to carry it to the finish line, but overall this isn’t one of Spike’s sharpest films. 5.5/10
