Robert P @Superbad 1 day ago 25th Hour = a *4* star Film! See more Antony B @RT29664284 Aug 23, 2026 25th Hour is a haunting, beautifully melancholic film about regret, friendship, and the terrifying realization that time has finally run out. Spike Lee captures New York with a restless, almost dreamlike energy, while Edward Norton gives Monty a bruised vulnerability that makes his final night feel painfully intimate. The writing is sharp, the supporting performances are fantastic, and that final stretch hits like a punch to the gut. A powerful, unforgettable film about the life you had, and the life you’ll never get to have. See more Meri S @mschroeder Jul 7, 2026 This movie just didn’t do it for me. IMO Edward Norton is just not a strong actor, nor a leading man. I just don’t pick up on any charisma. Maybe he’s just played unlikeable characters in the movies I’ve seen. The incessant instrumental music throughout the movie was annoying. The plot was weak. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 1, 2026 25th Hour is, for me, one of the most powerful drama films I’ve seen, even if I don’t consider it perfect. It leaves a lasting impact because of how grounded and human it feels, focusing on real consequences, regret, and reflection in a way that sticks with you after it ends. The film’s atmosphere is incredibly strong. It captures a very specific mood of uncertainty and tension, but also quiet emotional weight. The characters feel complex and believable, and the storytelling takes its time in a way that feels intentional rather than slow. What makes it stand out is how personal it feels. It doesn’t rely on flashy twists or spectacle, but instead builds its strength through character, dialogue, and tone. That restraint is what makes it memorable for me. Overall, I would rate it an 8/10. Not flawless, but easily one of the most meaningful drama films in my eyes. See more Carlton S @seadweller Feb 22, 2026 My initial take was Meh. I slept on it and decided the movie was a complete waste of my time. I like Spike Lee for making Do The Right Thing. I say that knowing he and I have opposite worldviews while acknowledging he made a movie that will endure. Alternatively, 25th Hour is slow, built on a very simple and pointless premise that is not developed to accomplish anything memorable, interesting, classic or realistic. There is one rant in the mirror that was well done but it completely lacks context other than Ed Norton's character admitting all of his mistakes are his own doing and not everyone elses fault. OK. But the movie stunk. Two scenes with the DEA lead...his acting was terrific. PSHoffman...yeah, great actor but any new comer would have worked. The role was like the movie: boring and dull. Pepper was the only character who was at least consistent and real albeit an absolute empty loser. Just a way, way, way over rated movie.
