As I hadn't been to the movie theater in a long while, I thought I would drop by and take my chances. On the basis of who was starring in the movie, I ended up seeing Al Pacino's latest work, 88 Minutes ; I 'm glad that I did.
Pacino stars as Jack, a forensic doctor who gives testimony for the prosecution in murder cases. Nine years earlier, his testimony was responsible for putting away a serial killer. Now, the guy is set for execution. On the eve of the execution, however, another murder is committed that matches all the details of the serial cases the condemned man has been convicted of. Then Jack receives a call on his cel phone from someone who tells him in a disguised voice that he has only 88 minutes to live. The significance of the number--- 88 minutes---is explained later on in the picture. Meanwhile Jack has very little time to discover who the killer is and then stop them from committing their next crime.
As a suspense-filled murder mystery, 88 Minutes has enough twists and red herrings to keep you guessing, as well as on the edge of your seat.
I highly recommend the film to lovers of mysteries and Al Pacino. The guy has still got it. It's worth a second viewing and I may just do so to see what I may've missed the first time around.
