What was Spike up to with this one? The opening credits dissolved into an homage of 911, which gave me a chill. We then jump into the personal drama of Norton's dilemma of facing sevens years in the joint and its effect on him and his "close" friends. But again, in one scene, Hoffman visits Pepper's apartment which is across from the destroyed WTC!! They sit on the window frame while the camera captures the last of the clean up. And the scene ends with closeups of the workers cleaning away . . .
As for humor, if you can call it that, there was a scene where Norton's mirror-image blasted every racial group in NYC. It was funny.
But in the closing, there was a resonance of "The Last Temptation" as Norton and his dad were driving to prison--or were they?
I enjoyed 25th, but it is certainly not for the casual entertainment seeker. The film is quite different from the construct of the trailers I saw.
