      25th Hour was filmed post 9/11, and though that tragedy is only obliquely referred to, its repercussions cut to the core of the film.I left the theatre rattled to the bone, thinking not of Monty but of America and how often can you say that about a film, especially one that cloaks itself as a thinking mans thriller ( Read More )
    • Roger Ebert

      The film reflects this elegiac tone as it follows Montys last hours of freedom. ( Read More )
    • JoBlo

      Im a fan of this film because it was a well paced character drama with a little touch of mystery and plenty of solid actors doing their thing during one mans final day on the outside.The moral implications of each characters past actions also made for great food for thought. ( Read More )
    • Jeffrey M. Anderson

      This time hes delivered his best, most cohesive and most passionate film since Do the Right Thing. ( Read More )
    • Peter Howell

      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. ( Read More )
