Review of 25th Hour (2002) by Ryan V — 29 Apr 2012
Edward Norton plays a man who has one day left before he embarks on a long prison stretch. He goes out partying with his buddies (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Barry Pepper), but he also has to put things in order with his father (Brian Cox), his girlfriend (Rosario Dawson), and the drug supplier he used to work for (Tony Siragusa).
This Spike Lee joint is a gripping character drama that also serves as a microcosm for urban life. Thanks in no small part to its stellar cast, the 25th Hour is Lee's best directorial effort since Malcolm X.
