Additional InformationSpike Lee's bracing adaptation of David Benioff's novel is a vibrant, vital motion picture. Edward Norton plays Monty Brogan, a harmless drug dealer who has 24 hours of freedom before serving a seven-year jail sentence. Nervous, confused, and terrified, Monty turns to his closest friends for support: Frank Slattery (Barry Pepper), a cocky stock broker who resents Monty for throwing his life away; Jakob Elinsky (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a hapless high school teacher who is attracted to one of his students (Anna Paquin); and Monty's heartbroken father (Brian Cox), who blames himself for Monty's demise. And then there is Naturelle (Rosario Dawson), Monty's beautiful girlfriend, who may or may not be guilty of shopping Monty to the cops. Monty spends his last day trying to ignore the inevitability of time, but everyone and everything only reminds him of the bleak, unpromising days that lay ahead.<BR>With 25TH HOUR, Spike Lee revisits the fiery territory of 1989's DO THE RIGHT THING. Frustrated by Hollywood's seeming denial of the events of September 11th, Lee creates a film that brilliantly captures the mood and atmosphere in New York City in the months following the attack.
ReviewsTotal Film - kp.98 - ...An impressive, affecting return to form from one of Hollywood's finest filmmakers..., Premiere - ...Undeniably beautiful..., Sight and Sound - ...Lee's use of space expertly evokes the general air of a city bereft..., Rolling Stone - ...25TH HOUR is a riveting, emotionally resonant New York drama....Edward Norton is dynamite..., New York Times - ...It produces a wrenching, dazzling succession of moods..., Entertainment Weekly - ...The role plays right into Norton's gift for letting brainy anxiety detonate just beneath the surface of a scene....Lee, as he did in MALCOLM X and CLOCKERS, makes his hero's dread palpable...
25th hour the best £1.50sething I've spent this month
Edward Norton plays Monty a drug dealer sentenced to 7 years in prison and his final 24 hours of freedom. Great performances from a stella cast, directed by Spike Lee and set to the backdrop of post 9/11 New York.
