88 Minutes

In the thriller "88 Minutes", Dr. Jack Gramm, a forensic psychologist played by Al Pacino, is suddenly caught in a race against time as he receives a phone call informing him that he has only 88 minutes to live. With the threat of a real-time execution looming over his head, Jack must use his expertise to unravel a complex web of deception and betrayal. As he delves deeper into the case, Jack realizes that the truth may be closer to home than he initially thought, leading to a heart-pounding climax where every second counts.

Despite a talented cast led by Al Pacino, "88 Minutes" fails to deliver a compelling narrative that matches the intensity of its premise. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a dismal 5% rating, with critics noting its lackluster execution and predictable plot twists. IMDb's rating of 5.9/10 echoed similar sentiments, citing mediocre pacing and underdeveloped characters. Metacritic's score of 17/100 pointed out the film's disjointed storytelling and missed opportunities to capitalize on Pacino's performance. While the concept of a time-limited thriller holds promise, '88 Minutes' struggles to maintain suspense or provide a satisfying resolution, leaving viewers wanting more.
