Review of 88 Minutes (2007) by Allen R — 06 Sep 2010

While not the best Al Pacino movie ever made, 88 Minutes is a thoroughly engrossing little thriller. Just when I thought I had it figured out, BAM! - a new twist. All the red herrings kept me totally playing catch up with this movie.

Now I will admit that I don't try to pick everything apart when I watch a movie, especially a thriller, however I do like to follow the clues. When it's all spelled out in the end, 88 Minutes definitely delivers.

Wasn't honestly expecting too much due to the mediocre reviews it got, but I determined that most viewers won't be happy with a Pacino movie unless it's Scarface. next on my list is another Jon Avnet directed film starring Pacino & Robert DeNiro called Righteous Kill.

Hope it lives up to my expectations after this.
