this movie had so much appeal, the actors drew me in to want to see it and the premise is what got me into a seat. i so much anticipation toward this movie. you had a genius behind the camera and gods in front of the camera. but it was just scattered.
the movie seems be completely different from what the movie is suppose to be. the movie is suppose to be something about closing the book on a life cause your essentially dead. but it was all so much emotions that were going on, that they became the story, but the meant so many unneccessary scenes. the entire relationship between phillip seymour hoffman and anna paquin was not need. it didnt fit into the story as a whole. if there was an attraction between monty and her, or the story centered on all the characters equally, then it would have made so much sense.
the flashbacks are hard to understand. they happen so quickly and and get so in depth so fast, during the flashback you say "whats going on?" then after the flashback happens, you say "was that a flashback, did i miss something?" the editing was a little off ass well but im not holding that against the movie. the editing could have been like that cause spike lee wanted it like that, with is totally understandable.
i sat through the entire movie wondering what the symbolism of 9/11 was. and all i could come up with was suffering to survive and in the long run everything will be alright and better. while thats true to the people of new york and america with 9/11, its also monty's life, he is gonna suffer to survive his life after the 25th hour but in the end he will have naturelle back and everything will be peaceful again. but that kind fo symbolism is too hard to think up, symbolisms arent meant to be found by a search and resuce team deep within a dark cave, its meant to be the icing on the cake.
the music was unparallel to the movie too. the opening music was like something out of a action adventure drama picture like gladiator or something, it wasnt fitting with a crime drama like this, the whoel score just seemed out of place.
while 25th hour has some spectacular acting, an awesome director, and cinematography thats award worthy; 25th hour just doesnt make it. were told the 25th hour is about one thing, but when we see it it is completey different from what were told. but what saves this movie form being a total piece of junk is the actors and how seriously they take there roles. if movies had the option for a second chance, this movie should be first in line for it. cause this movie has so much potential too it.
