"25th Hour" is an unusually aimless movie from Spike Lee, a director associated with much punchier films that possess strong points of view. Here the story line is flaccid and episodic, the direction lacks vitality, and the observations are mundane. It's a tribute to Lee that he was able to assemble a top-notch cast eager to work with him, but the real work is by an audience that must labor through the misguided affair.
Edward Norton is once again brilliant in the central role; everything he does is hugely watchable. By contrast, a bunch of terrific actors -- Philip Seymour Hoffman, Barry Pepper, Rosario Dawson, Anna Paquin and Brian Cox -- struggle to make any sense of characters who drift through the protagonist's world without seeming to make much impact on him or us. The Touchstone film, released this week in Los Angeles and New York then expanding in January, is unlikely to equal, much less expand upon, Lee's usual demographics.
Probably the best thing about the film is the lensing by Rodrigo Prieto, who after "Amores Perros", "Frida" and "8 Mile" emerges clearly as a world-class cinematographer. His New York is a drab and somber city filled, though, with ex-quisite light and a sense of quiet vibrancy. The movie is palpably set in post-Sept. 11 New York. Along with overt shots of Ground Zero -- one character's apartment directly overlooks the site -- and the sign reading "You Can't Stop NYC", the film displays a dispirited yet vital city still searching for ways to cope with its wounds and grief.
None of this directly relates to the story at hand except to lend a melancholy air to what is already a downbeat tale. Norton plays Monty Brogan, a middle-class drug dealer with ties to the Russian mafia, experiencing his last 24 hours of freedom before turning himself in to serve a seven-year prison sentence. Why he still enjoys this freedom, when most if not all felons are jailed upon conviction, is never explained.
On this final day, he hooks up with people and places from his past: the high school where he played basketball; his best pals, Jacob (Hoffman), a guilt-ridden Jew who teaches English at the old school, and Slaughtery (Pepper), a hotshot bond trader full of himself; his dad (Cox), who runs a bar partially financed by his drug money; and Naturelle (Dawson), his live-in girlfriend who may or may not have turned him in to the narcs.
Monty spends most of the movie feeling sorry for himself, which is more than any audience member is likely to do. Meanwhile, Naturelle acts bewildered about what's going on in Monty's head, and his two buddies squabble constantly -- an argument that undoubtedly goes back to playground days. It is hard to discover in these fruitless encounters any reason for Monty, a smart and educated man, to have turned to drug dealing.
More dramatically cohesive at least is a subplot involving Jacob's infatuation with a 17-year-old tease (an impish Paquin) from one of his classes. Russian mob figures, especially one played by former pro footballer Tony Siragusa, are vivid caricatures but feel like they wandered in from a different movie.
The script is by David Benioff, adapted from his own novel. But the film lacks all the things critics lauded in his novel -- his tight, crisp way with dialogue, its dark humor and a portrayal of the corrupting influence of easy money.
