Engaging but violent drama. Not for kids.

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.
January 10, 2003
Lee has created that rarity in filmmaking: a movie we need, right now.

Finds beauty in the silver linings and embodies the notion that we're stronger than we usually realize we can be.

there is still plenty of angst saturating the film

While 25th Hour has a several arresting characters struggling with credible problems, regrettably Monty isn't one of them.

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.

Spike Lee's furiously melancholy drama about life and dread in post-9/11 New York City.

One of Spike Lee's best films...

It's the usual undisciplined, overextended Spike symphony: more fun than it is any good.

An under-rated gem, 25th Hour is a powerful story about how the decisions you make in your life, and who you make them with, can ultimately lead to your downfall.

Pretty lethargic stuff.
