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
