Review of 25th Hour (2002) by Shaun K L — 06 May 2010
This is another great Norton performance. I really liked this film, it was yet again simple but effective. Hoffman and Pepper are great as Nortons friends.( I think Barry pepper is a fantasic actor very underrated.) Rosario Dawson is good too as the girlfriend. I love the world Spike creates is so very real. I love what he has to say.
You really feel for Monty even though he is a drug dealer. It makes you think about what sort of life he could have had if he didn't decide to do things differently. The heaviest and most effective scene is where slaughtery bashes Monty, I like how Spike decided to shoot this with only sound effects of the park and birds, which I found powerful.
