Movies: 25th Hour

[chicken]

Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors, and he was as good as ever in this film. (Even though the actual film was kinda depressing).

However, Spike Lee annoys me more and more. Some of the writing is too self-consciously pedantic and preachy, like the whole mirror monologue. Please get over yourself, Spike.

Yep, yep, and yep.

I wanted to write a blazing review of it but I got in a car accident that very same night so that review (as well as the one for Chicago) never got written.

I cried so hard at the end with the "beat me up" scene.

I agree with both of you, that scene was really difficult and sad.
