Spike Lee directed "25th Hour," but the screenplay was written by David Benioff based on his own novel. The film features a fine ensemble cast that includes Edward Norton, Barry Pepper, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Brian Cox, Rosario Dawson, and Anna Paquin. Also, I loved Rodrigo Prieto's cinematography and Terence Blanchard's musical score, and the New York locations are terrific. I found "25th Hour" to be one of Spike Lee's best films, and it's one of the best movies of any kind I've seen this year.
