25th Hour (2002)

This is an okay movie. Monty Brogan (Edward Norton) is given 24 hours of freedom before he is sent to prison for seven years. In his last day on the outside, Monty tries to reconnect with his father who's never given up on him, and gets together with his two closest friends from the old days, Jakob (Philip S. Hoffman) and Frank. Also in the mix is his girlfriend, Naturelle (Rosario Dawson), who might have been the one who tipped off the cops to his stash of money.

I find it unlikely that he could walk away after a felony and not be found by the police. The film was directed by Spike Lee. The story is based on the 2002 novel by David Benioff. At the time of release Anna Paquin was 20 and Rosario Dawson was 23. The Tribute in Light ran temporarily from March 11 to April 14, 2002, and has since been turned on to honor each anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
