Summary: The 25th Hour depicts the last day of freedom for a young man before he begins serving a seven-year jail term for drug dealing. Prowling through the city until dawn with his two close male friends and his girlfriend, he is forced to re-examine his life and how he got himself into his predicament, which leads to a shocking, disturbing finale.

I don't like Spike Lee and I consider this his second worst movie (after Summer of Sam). The direction is terrible, the characters are obnoxious, and the story is cheesy and cliched. Also, Norton's monologue is one of the worst things I've ever had to sit through.
Several powerful scenes, with fantastic acting. I don't think it came to a perfectly cohesive conclusion, but it's still a fantastic piece of cinema, as well as a piece of New York life in the post-9/11 world.
Spike Lee is a gifted director who misses the mark more often than he hits it. 25th Hour is his magnum opus -- a love song to a New York that may never have existed.
It kind of goes all over the place, but with leads this strong I did not mind a bit. Feels pretty raw, with a lot of subdued anger and barely veiled regret. Norton's monologue stands out, as does Hoffmans frozen facial expression scene after leaving the toilet.
Really powerful scenes - Ed Norton's Monologue, Hoffman's regret after the bathroom scene, and the end ride to prison. The movie jumped around a bit and seemed like it was missing something, but such great performances and these really powerful scenes made this film stay with me for a couple days after my viewing.
Faily well acted, the script had it's high points (the final monologue, Norton's internal rant) but had it rough moments too. I lost immersion over the cheapness of the setting in the club sequence, things looked very staged and contrived.
