Movie: 88 Minutes (2007)

In Uncategorized on October 6, 2008 at 6:04 pm

Cast: Al Pacino, Alicia Witt, Leelee Sobieski, Neal McDonough and others

Plot: A forensic psychiatrist has 88 minutes to solve a murder. His own.
Review: Well, we watched this movie last night, after a brief hesitation on part of my wife, she wasn’t sure, if we really do wanna watch this or the chick-flick, she was more interested in. Anyway, being a self-proclaimed “Pacino Fan”, i had to watch, my wife sacrificed. Even after 20 minutes in the movie, felt like it never started, it just kept going on and on, with stereotype of a brilliant professor and all his students, with girly crush on him….a single guy, who sleep around…..what the heck!
Then, the plot started to unravel, and it became interesting for a while, they got so convoluted, that i missed the point, while working on my Mac at the same time. 
VerdictThe plot is completely inconsistent, and irrelevant, Pacino isn’t brilliant either. overall not a good choice on his part, and waste of time for us.
