The 25th Hour sucked, too.

25th Hour was awful, and merely sounded the final bell for all those who used to think Spike Lee was still a worthwhile director. It's insanely heavy-handed, maudlin, and incredible.

Awful dreck, poorly written, badly performed, stupidly conceived, and tastelessly solicitous.

Other than that, I liked it a lot.

Keeping the Faith, was funny as hell.
The Score wasn't bad at all, quite enjoyable
Death to Smoochy was okay, not great
Rounders is a good movie, and because it's a somewhat realistic poker movie, I bought it.
Wow I guess I like pretty much all the Ed Norton movies I've seen.
But the same can be said for Matt Damon, except for stuck on you.

the response was given after the assertion that he was great in everything he does. whether or not one likes those movies, i doubt anybody can objectively say that his acting was worth remembering in any of those roles.

Yea, I guess I should read the entire thread before posting, lol.
However, his role in The Score I think was played very well. He played the part of the slightly handicapped stuttering kid to perfection. O--Ok--Okay Danny--o--ok

Ever see "Primal Fear"? Ed Norton was outstanding in that movie.

In the opening scene Mike D is at the $300-$600 game at the Bellagio and cleaning up, until he takes a 2-outer beat from JoeyBitch, but Worm comes out of nowhere to 'get delicate' with Joey B and get Mike's money back....

Default Good point

You're right. He deserves an Oscar for that miserable scene where he's talking to himself in the mirror.

I thought he was playing his character from American History X, a clearly flawed, yet vastly superior film.

So, yes--I loved 25th Hour, now that you mention it.
