Edward Norton heads an amazing all-star cast in the critically acclaimed Spike Lee film 25th HOUR. In 24 short hours Monty Brogan (Norton) goes to prison for seven long years. Once a king of Manhattan, Monty is about to say good-bye to the life he knew -- a life that opened doors to New York's swankest clubs but also alienated him from the people closest to him. In his last day on the outside, Monty tries to reconnect with his father (Brian Cox), and gets together with two old friends, Jacob (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Slaughtery (Barry Pepper). And then there's his girlfriend, Naturelle (Rosario Dawson), who might (or might not) have been the one who tipped off the cops. Monty's not sure of much these days, but with time running out, there are choices to be made as he struggles to redeem himself in the 25th hour.

I've been there,had plenty of other things to do on my last free day. Spike Lee needs to face time before he delves into the mind of a man about to do serious time. D at best!

Guess you have to be a hardcore Spike Lee fan to like this. Otherwise this was a dud. Very slow with not much to keep you engaged, and the ending was uneventful and disappointing. If this is how other Spike Lee movies are done, then I'm definitely not a fan.

Being a native New Yorker, one of my favorite things about Spike Lee's movies is his ability to capture what everyday life in New York City feels like. This movie is perhaps a perfect example of Lee's ability to tell an honest story about the people of his city through detail. I often find it a bit tough to classify this movie, is it a drama about a man spending his final hours before heading to prison? Is it a post 9/11 patriotic story about the unity of New Yorkers? You kind of have to classify it as all.
