25th Hour Reviews
Spike Lee's latest-his 20th feature including 온라인카지노추천 work-is at long last the raging masterpiece many have suspected him capable of. 25th Hour eclipses everything he's done before, including Do the Right Thing...

It's an odd movie, maybe odder than it should have been if this is Lee's attempt to make a more widely accessible, less issue-based movie.

One of the more entertaining and thought-provoking Spike Lee Joints in a long while.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 2006
While 25th Hour has a several arresting characters struggling with credible problems, regrettably Monty isn't one of them.

'Spike Lee's love of New York, unlike Woody Allen's, has always been more tough than tender.'
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 22, 2005
A turgid, bombastic and outrageously self-satisfied movie.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 8, 2003
Superbly acted, as you would expect, it's also rich in moral nuance. Doing the right thing is not as simple in his films as it once was.

25th Hour is the first film I've seen that explicitly catches the grief of New York City in the aftermath of 9/11.

As Woody Allen slides perilously close to irrelevance, Spike Lee has emerged as the quintessential New York filmmaker, using the microcosm of New York to explore the macrocosm of America.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 10, 2003
Yes, 25th Hour is a big, messy sprawl, but it's also an undeniably beautiful one.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 4, 2003
Lee's best picture in years.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2003
I still think that Mr. Lee has come closer than he ever has before to making the great film about New York City that David Thomson hoped from him in a favorable mini-bio in The New Biographical Dictionary of Film.

Lee and his cast are so adept at getting us acquainted with Monty and these other people that we wind up feeling like we've known them for years.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 18, 2003
Pretty lethargic stuff.
| Jan 13, 2003
It's the usual undisciplined, overextended Spike symphony: more fun than it is any good.

Lee has created that rarity in filmmaking: a movie we need, right now.
| Jan 10, 2003
25th Hour has a lot of problems, but chief amongst them is the persistent feeling that Lee is just treading water, by trading on past glories and larding in celebrity appearances in the hope of actually selling a few tickets for a change.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 10, 2003
An intriguing misfire that nonetheless holds our interest, keeping us wondering about the movie that might have been.
