Since this column’s inception back in November of 2016, I’ve tried to focus on films people aren’t talking about. What I mean by that are films that are off of the radar of most people. Sure, someone, somewhere, on the planet might be talking about Wisconsin Death Trip (well, maybe not that one) but it isn’t one I see mentioned on social media very often. So, a film in question might have been a critical success but, for whatever reason, I just don’t see it being discussed by, let’s say, Film Twitter. 25th Hour is one of these films.

Based upon the novel 25th Hour by David Benioff (who also adapted it for the screen), the film is about Montgomery Brogan, a drug dealer about to go to prison for seven years. He has one day left before he has to turn himself. We follow Monty through his last few hours of freedom.
