Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

ad-859-107308 I am no fan of Holiwood movies. They are one dimensional or pretend to have something more. This one does not. It is plain good story america style.

Mr-Fusion It's not really fair to call "88 Minutes" a bad movie. It's more like a fustercluck of a movie erected from a terrible script and slapped together after the filmmakers were already over this nonsense. It's got a (visibly worn-out) Pacino racing against the clock, but the real-time angle is just there to keep the movie plowing through each brick wall of implausibility. And it doesn't make any sense as a legal/psycho thriller because so many subplots are just jammed in there, all coming at you from every possible direction. And speaking of Pacino, did he go through a Nicolas Cage "I owe all sorts of people money" stage? What brought him to such a lowly place? I have to admit I was enjoying myself watching Leelee Sobieski's overacting and the final let's-wrap-this-up-and-finally-tell-the-audience-who's-behind-it-all scenes. It was a pleasant reminder that none of this is to be enjoyed without irony (albeit shamefully late in the game).3/10

Nico Monetti This movie is not good. That said, it is entertaining in terms of how silly it is.If you watch this movie you'll get to see Al Pacino as a character under extremely stressful circumstances, in a position where each minute he wastes someone close to him could be killed in a horrible way, and he's basically fine with it all. Pacino stars a a forensic psychologist/professor who apparently became a multi millionaire like... convicting people of stuff. He's super famous, as far as psychologists or professors go, with everyone seeming to know his resume.Confronted with a bombardment of harassments from a mysterious source on the day a man he helped get convicted stands for execution, Pacino just deals with it all as it comes, not too worried about it really.With the exception of his not approving of another character's carrying a firearm she has a permit to carry, nothing seems to really rattle the guy. He keeps getting calls from a scary voice that updates him on how long he has to live and says, "tick toc doc". Yep. That's what the bad guy says.It's funny too because half the time the calls are from the bad guy - just checking in to be a dick and update him on his upcoming demise (which never even really pays off now that I think about it) and half the time it's one of his employees or someone else it's good to hear from.Pacino's character shrugs everything off and take it in stride, as if dealing with complex webs of murder conspiracies targeted at him are usual occurrences. His career is extremely glamorized and makes no sense - with him having his own office the size of a big law firm in a skyscraper that has James Bond vault status filing cabinets. His apartment is also outrageously badass - the ultimate bachelor pad of the future.Oh, and there are like 15 beautiful women in the movie too (all of which do a good job with their roles if you ask me). Each of them seem to have a sizzling crush on Pacino's character. There's literally even a scene where an attractive lesbian kisses him on the lips. He's quite the ladies man and he also enjoys drinking. As an FBI character puts it at one point in the film, "Everyone knows you're quite the ladies man and that you have a drinking problem!"It's kind of a bummer this thing sucked so much because the premise for the movie is actually fairly solid. You've got a guy on death row with a few tricks up his sleeve trying to cast doubt that he was the right guy by having someone on the outside mimic his crimes. Good premise! If substantially rewritten and executed under different direction this might have made for a great thriller. The cast was great and there's no reason it couldn't be. But oh well. The whole movie's just 10% thriller territory and 90% silly fun time zone, with Pacino himself often seeming like he's only half paying attention to the shoot - looking forward to going home and watching THE GODFATHER.Yeah, there's just a ton of really... weird stuff in this movie. I figured out who was behind it pretty early on, just going with my gut. There's so much exposition and forced twists and so many characters and so much back story that it all just becomes a tangled web of whatever and you stop caring and just take a guess. My guess turned out to be right. I didn't guess the motivation behind their involvement though because well, how could you? It was ridiculous. I've never seen anything like 88 MINUTES in my life. I give it six stars because it made me laugh out loud multiple times. There were just some moments so cheesy and some bits so outrageous that you can't help but laugh.It feels more dated than it is and it's one of those movies that's so bad it's good.

Floated2 Al Pacino stars in 88 Minutes as forensic psychologist Jack Gramm. The movie opens in the late 1990s, with women in Seattle being sliced and diced by a serial killer. Someone is arrested for the crimes, and Dr. Gramm's expert testimony helps win our serial killer the death penalty.Flash-forward nine years, to the present day. The killer (Neal McDonough) is still on death row, but the day has come for his execution. Dr. Gramm, meanwhile, continues to lecture graduate students, consult on murders and go about his life in Seattle, but women are still turning up mutilated and dead in his city.Is there a copycat killer, or did he help convict the wrong guy all those years ago?Dr. Gramm does not doubt himself for a second, but then he gets a disturbing phone call, telling him he has 88 minutes to live. Six minutes later, he gets another call telling him he has 82 minutes to live. Three minutes after that, he gets another call telling him he has 79 minutes to live.
