In New York City in the days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, it appears that it was the most difficult period of all for many. During this period, Monte Brogan took a new framework in his life, as New York drug dealer Montgomery Brogan reassessed his life in the remaining 24 hours before it was too late.
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.
I still think that Mr. Lee has come closer than he ever has before to making the great film about New York City that David Thomson hoped from him in a favorable mini-bio in The New Biographical Dictionary of Film.
