FILM: 25th Hour
2.5 monkeys
If we were playing the popular “Is This Anything” game, a la David Letterman and Paul Shaffer, I would have to say yes, this is something, but what exactly it is, I’m not sure. It is definitely well acted (by Edward Norton, Rosario Dawson, and Barry Pepper among others) and well shot (by director Spike Lee). The music is fantastic, and there are at least two scenes that crackle with Lee’s trademark electricity. On the other hand, I spent a whole lot of this movie waiting for something to happen, and not a whole lot did. That may be my fault as a moviegoer, but still, I think it’s fair to say this is a film that moves at a slightly different, slower pace than you might be expecting from the trailers and TV ads. Is it good? Well, it’s better than a lot of films … but I wanted more.
