25th Hour

Release Year: 2002
Review: A film about a man who has one day left to spend with his friends before he is sent to prison. There are some moments of genius, but on a whole there were too many scenes that were sloppy. Whoever cast Tony Siragusa as one of the major supporting characters should never work in casting again, as his almost unbearably bad fake accent killed nearly every scene he was involved in. Fortunately to balance out that train wreak of a performance was Edward Norton, who delivers in his role as Monty Brogan, playing a guy who had everything, but didn't realize it until it was all gone. Despite its flaws there are some powerful scenes that make this film worth the watch.
Rating: 3/5
