The result is a film of sadness and power, the first great 21st century movie about a 21st century subject.

Chicago Tribune
25th Hour struck me as one of the best movies of 2002, but it's also a film that will strike some of its audience as ethically dubious or threatening.

Chicago Reader
The film persuades us to think long and hard about what prison means, and Lee has shaped it like a poem that builds into an epic lament, especially in a beautiful and tragic closing that risks absurdity to achieve the sublime.

Isn't Lee's most personal piece, but it may very well be his most mature.

Miami Herald
Lee delivers a beautiful evocation of the American Dream in its simplest, purest form.
