cinemajesty Movie Review: "25th Hour" (2002)In arguable director Spike Lee's most accomplished as satisfying motion picture by interpreting an self-adapted screenplay by David Benioff, known also for creating as adapting fantasy books by George R.R. Martin for HBO exhibition "Game of Thrones", comes this crime-drama in the wake of two towers down in New York City fall of 2001, following the drug-dealing character of Monty Brogan and his close-to-faithful girlfriend Naturelle Riviera, in match-making as beautiful to watch character-performances by Edward Norton and Rosario Dawson, when the director conditions all supporting cast members including the protagonist's closest circle of club-party-making friends played by scene-owning Barry Pepper, down-on-luck seconds after "Boogie Nights" Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014), hitting on 17-year-old minor-mimicking actress Anna Paquin, in overall heart-breaking scenes of inevitable honesty from hard-hitting New Yorkers, who want to be more then there are able to perform in life in another microscopic cinematic approach accompanied by breathtaking cinematography from lighting cameraman Rodrigo Prieto, working on classic 35mm filmstock under minimalistic budgetary conditions toward a prevailing picture of full impact; charged with hope in favor for an universal human condition in a better world presented by daring Buena Vista affiliate Touchstone Pictures in holiday season 2002/2003 open for revisits.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
pierreolivier-21287 First of all, the soundtrack!! What a soundtrack! You could spend a great moment with only that soundtrack. Second, there are many tiny moments where it feels as good as a Shakespeare's play. Like that moment in the toilet where Monty is talking to himself. And what you realize at the end of the movie. I think it is an awesome movie with a great opening and a great ending, with an amawing way to fold both the opening and the ending together. I am truly hesitating giving it a 10! Seriously!
rebeasonjr1967 I won't give away any spoilers or any real details because as this movie went along at the end if each boring segment I just wanted to forget I wasted that time of my life on this easily forgettable movie. The only character for whom I felt any sympathy was the dog Doyle. Because being a dog he is the only one that was an innocent. It's a story about a scumbag drug dealer with scumbag friends and trashy girlfriend. The only characters they go out of their way trying to make you hate are the DEA agents. Typical Spike Lee crap movie told from the perspective of someone who identifies better with criminals than law abiding citizens.
nbbaiyuchen I really love Spike Lee's film. This is a very underrated movie filled with great performances from Edward Norton, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Barry Pepper, Rosario Dawson, and Brian Cox. The story is compelling and Spike Lee does an awesome job of directing us to understand and sympathize for a man who chose the wrong path and now has to suffer the consequences for it. Every acted scene is beautiful but the most compelling scenes are one is in the bathroom. Edward Norton explodes internally with a monologue that reminded me of Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver. Another one is a long montage of Edward Norton and Brian Cox on a drive out into the wilderness. Both of these scenes are beautifully acted and are both very powerfully directed in my mind.
