Popcorn And A Movie With Adam 88 Minutes
Rated R - 1h48 Reviewed 4.19.08
Filled with non-sequiturs, cheesy moments and non-believable action, eighty eight minutes is way too much time to spend on this movie. Heck, five minutes is too much.
Al Pacino must have seen a nice payday ahead of him when he agreed to play a Forensic Psychologist who specializes in serial killers. On the day that one of the criminals he testified against is to be put to death, the bad guy reaches out from jail to try and free himself and take his revenge at the same time.
It seems to me that a film titled 88 Minutes should have some type of countdown device. A bomb, a poison that takes that long to kill, or a trap that goes off. There were none, and that nullifies the premise.
While Pacino himself is still an impressive actor, the scenarios surrounding him are ridiculous. So is this movie. Skip it.
Second Opinion: My friend Jonathan said the film started off with good intentions, but also fell apart.
