Ok this was ok, but not that good. I mean I thought It was a ok but nott the greatest. Iff you want a movie thats just plain cheesey, then maybe it will work but youll be better off if you skip 88 minutes.

I cannot even begin to explain how unbelievably bad 88 Minutes really is, it would take 88 hours just to list half the reasons of why this movie is so horrible. And unfortunately, this thing was not just 88 seconds. I hated it so much I might've...

I cannot even begin to explain how unbelievably bad 88 Minutes really is, it would take 88 hours just to list half the reasons of why this movie is so horrible. And unfortunately, this thing was not just 88 seconds. I hated it so much I might've just stopped loving Al Pacino as well. He stars as Dr. Jack Graham a tough and demented forensic psychiatrist who has the vindication of a crusading cop. This character seems like the older version of Keanu Reeves in last weeks Street Kings. 7 years ago he put away Jon Forster, played annoyingly by Neal McDanough. Forster is now a day away from death row which leaves old Jacko in the spotlight of doubt as many believe Forster is indeed innocent, or is he? For some reason, every woman in this movie either wants to sleep with Graham or is a lesbian, and all these women are quite young. First chick up is Shelley, played terribly by Amy Breneman. She is Jack's assistant and she also happens to be gay and this is done to fit in with the incredibly ridiculous conclusion. After a copycat murder of Forster's earlier kills, everyone is starting to believe that Jack may have been wrong seven years ago. Now he is getting threatening calls on his cell saying he has 88 minutes to live, hence the title. He quickly starts being paranoid and thinks that everyone he knows is in on this. What happens in this movie could not in any world take place in 88 minutes. so much is jammed into only two hours that I wish they'd leave Al Pacino alone and just kill me. Every enemy Jack has ever had is coincidentally chasing him on the exact same day. Graham calls up his FBI buddy and tells him a random person he met looks suspicious so they get a warrant and arrest the guy, just because Jack said so, which is obviously not realistic. Pacino's character is more like a chief of police then just a meesley professor. Every woman in this film gives outstandingly bad performances, Amy Breneman, Alicia Witt, and worst of all Leelee Sobieski. The year is still pretty young but this movie has a 99.9 and a half % chance of being one of the worst movies of the year. Pacino looks like a homeless bum in this film with the messy hair and the goatee, and he is so demented that I can't believe that he's be an even semi-successful psychiatrist. Then there's an awkward conversation about seamen. This has to be just about one of the worst 5 movies I have seen in my lifetime, and I've seen a lot.

I'm not quite sure why this isn't a great movie, but it's not. It's watchable and entertaining, the script and acting are OK but it misses a spark of life. It seems as if bits have been done before in other movies and they worked in those movies...

I'm not quite sure why this isn't a great movie, but it's not. It's watchable and entertaining, the script and acting are OK but it misses a spark of life. It seems as if bits have been done before in other movies and they worked in those movies but combining them in this movie doesn't quite work...

It´s hard to write these reviews. The movie is bad but you can´t realy tell what´s so bad about it. I wouldnt say it´s boring like the last reviewer, i think it manages to keep you intrested....

It´s hard to write these reviews. The movie is bad but you can´t realy tell what´s so bad about it. I wouldnt say it´s boring like the last reviewer, i think it manages to keep you intrested. There are only 2 good acting performances in this movie including Pacino´s. But it doesn´t help to save the movie from the horrible script and somwhat poor directing. 88 Minute is the worst movie starring Pacino i´ve seen so far. But it would work a rainy day if you have nothing else to do.
