Review of 25th Hour (2002) by Exking — 01 Jan 2014
I think that this movie rank from below-average to normal in the most cases,.
The blew-average is the way that spike lee decided to deliver the story and the normal is the story itself,.
In other words the story struggled so hard to be delivered but the strong aspect about this movie was the performances.
As usual Edward Norton gives a solid performance along with the secondary characters like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Barry Pepper, but some scenes were completely irrelevant to the story such as the bathroom mirror scene and some of the camera work was completely unnecessary, it's like "hey we can do this effect and this effect", and I'm not really familiar with spike lee's work but i'm guessing from this movie it's average and the one thing I can take from this movie is me saying "hey you're good looking, you know that's gonna be bad for you if you ever go to jail" WHAT "oh just something I learned from 25th hours".
If you didn't get my point then you need to watch the movie again, also the last scene when Edward Norton is old with his happy family is completely ridiculous, hey spike lee through some extra bucks on that shot, don't be so cheap.
