Movie Reviews of 88 Minutes
Movie Review: This film brought to you by MSNBC
Summary: 2 Stars
Al Pacino sleepwalks through the role of a go-to crime fighter named Jack Gramm who races against the clock to stop a murder - his own.
The script (such that it is) is cliche-riddled with all the sloppiness of a drive-by shooting. The predictable culprit taunts our bored-looking protagonist - whom everyone in the picture can immediately identify - with a faux-Jigsaw computerized voice in a failed effort to replicate Dennis Hopper's "Pop quiz, hotshot!" from Speed: "Tick tock, doc!"
The cherry on top of it all is either a well-placed stegosaurus toy during an attempt by Al Pacino to deliver a serious, lengthy monologue or this dialogue exchange:
Jack: "Somebody hired Sara Pollard to be with me last night, then killed her. Took my semen, deposited it into Dale Morris."
Frank: "Do you have any idea how absurd that sounds?"
Jack: "No, it's not absurd!"
88 Minutes is over-the-top camp that just barely passes for fun if the audience can give in to its unintentional hilarity.
Movie Review: Aging Al Pacino runs for 88 minutes with his hair flapping
Summary: 2 Stars
Another one of those thrillers that tries to make up for the bad script by employing the high caliber actors like Al Pacino an LeeLee Sobieski. Pacino plays university pofessor/forensic psychologist who profiles high visibility court cases and sociopathic criminals so that jury can reach their verdicts about the accused. Until one day, he receives a phone call letting him know that he has 88 minutes left to live. The usual happens - everyone is a suspect - his graduate students, collegues at the university and law enforcement, security guards and people he employs at his private office. For the next 60 minutes we see him running all over Seattle in attempt to unrevel the mystery of his would be assassin. In is almost painful to watch Pacino run, up and down street, run up and down stairs with his puffed up hair flapping all over the place. It is too bad that all of these actors had to be assembled for such a sad, sad and unbelieveble movie.Movie Review: 88 minutes of your life you will never get back. Sorry!!!

I love this actor. I would go so far as to say that this is one of his best. However, in the interests of fairness, I must say that this movie is a waste of time. It is so bad that I even had to cringe when I think about how much of my life was lost watching it. I have to just say this because the script was weak, the acting was bad, and the editing was just plain awful. I mean really awful. Save yourself the agony of watching this dog by doing dishes or dusting. It is really that bad, so just avoid it.Movie Review: save your money

I was shopping at Target when I spotted the new movie with Al Pacino.Got it.Watched it. Did not like it. Checked customer reviews at Amazon and was surprised that some people gave it five stars. From the start, One can see the story was badly put together and the direction did not help. I do not recommend you buy this movie.Movie Review: Overreaches
Summary: 2 Stars
A bit of a dud really. The story overreaches with its attempt at a surprise twist at the end, but loses the viewer long before that point.
Good for a cable viewing when nothing else is on, but only a single viewing.
The movie just falls short on many levels and isn't all that entertaining.
