Faq

Q

How does it end?

A

Monty's father drives him to jail. While he does this, he offers Monty a chance to run by taking the George Washington Bridge to freedom. He then goes into a monologue on how Monty can start a new life as a fugitive. When it ends, we see they have gone past the bridge, meaning Monty has chosen jail over running.

Q

What songs play during the club scene?

A

There are a few songs that play during that scene which include 'Warm It Up Kane' by Big Daddy Kane and Flava in Ya Ear' by Craig Mack. The complete 25th Hour soundtrack can be found here with scene descriptions.

Q

Is there something during / at the end of the credits ?

A
