Review of 25th Hour (2002) by Mark W — 21 Feb 2011
I'm going to go out there and say that this is my favorite movie Spike Lee has made. Sure, it's nowhere near political or what you might expect from Spike Lee's filmography, but that's kind've why I like it so much.
This is surprisingly the most different looking movie I've seen from Spike Lee. The story structure is extremely original and the characters are introduced in such a perfect way that it makes you question why it's not more highly regarded.
Edward Norton always throws in his all, but this is truly his most introverted character. While he might not say all that much, we can always see what is going on in his head. Even people like Barry Pepper turn in good performances here, it just goes to show how strong the story and direction is.
