Movie Reviews: Antwone Fischer, 25th Hour
Jan. 11th, 2003 12:37 pmAntwone Fischer - An over-done inspirational flick that starts out like Good Will Hunting but ends doing it's own thing. It was a good story but a bit heavy-handed and emotionally manipulative at times. Good movie, not a great movie. Joey gives Antwone Fischer three stars out of four and recommends it if you're looking for a made-for-Oscar movie.

dalovindj told me I would like). It's not a perfect movie, but I really liked it. If I gave ratings by the quarter-star, then this would be a 3.75, but I don't, so Joey gives 25th Hour three-and-a-half stars out of four and recommends it highly. It might very well make my top twenty, though definately not the top five.
