David Benioff is or at least was a great writer. This and City of Thieves are classics
25th Hour is a fukking Masterpiece

) and it just works from start to finish
a great ode to a NY that was never really the same after

Did he really go on to live that life and get back with Naturelle? Or it was just a fantasy.

Saw it in theaters when it came out, liked it, but couldn't really grasp it's value at that age
now, parts hit too close for me, and I haven't watched in like 10 years, but it's by far my favorite from Spike, and one of my favorites, in general. That scene where they search his place.
one of my boys and I used to talk about this all the time, his Dad was like a version of Norton's Dad in the movie, as in he would have driven his son away.
One minor flaw, that makes me laugh, is dude was SO stressed to go to Otisville! He was connected and solid enough, no one was going to break his teeth out and rape him or whatever all that was about. Maybe that was just the stress and anxiety of the experience talking.
So many great shots of NYC, every single performance is perfect.

That shot Spike captured of ground zero clean-up just signified the huge void forever left in the citythis is Spike at his most subtle (tho there are moments he does get in his bag

I was faked out by that ending too..Did he really go on to live that life and get back with Naturelle? Or it was just a fantasy.

Spike even ended the DVD commentary saying"..and Monty is off to prison."
fukking masterpiece and it totally encapsulates the emotions for New Yorker's in the aftermath of 9/11

Why '25th Hour' Is the Only 9/11 Movie That Still Matters
Why, twenty years after 9/11, Spike Lee's '25th Hour' feels like the only movie that dealt with September 11th that felt authentic—and right.

Love the movie but never cared for that scene. Felt cheesy as hell.
I liked the scene but then again I saw 25th Hour before Do The Right Thing
Revisited it on the Criterion Channel last week. Had a curated playlist of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s finest performances and this was one of them.
Yeah, the ending monologue still takes me out. It’s like having a great, deep conversation with someone and then getting hit with that run-on tangent that makes you question why you’re talking with such person in the first place. Spike’s a really good director, but can get crazy preachy when not reined in.

I haven't seen this movie in mad long, it's never on any streaming services, I'm assuming b/c of that racist rant Edward Norton goes on. Been trying to watch this for the longest (not paying to stream it fukk that)
