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

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.

One of Spike Lee's best films...

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

Pretty lethargic stuff.

there is still plenty of angst saturating the film

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