Review of 88 Minutes (2007) by Tyler L — 18 Mar 2009
WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE FILMED THE MOVIE IN REAL TIME?! Is the first question I asked at the end of 88 Minutes's one hour and forty eight minutes. Another was how was that at all intelligent? 88 Minutes holds a well deserved 5%, but I have to give the movie much more credit (even if its only 15% more). All these numbers are already crowding my review, but to keep it going, I had to watch it 3 times to understand the giant leap the film made to conclude the story, yes it was that confusing, not by complexity or some intelligent writer's wit, but just out of ignorence of the crime system and seems more of a story created by C.S.I on Europa.
88 Minutes is well, about 88 Minutes, Pacino is a detective will loads of skeletons in his closet, who has 88 minutes to solve a murder; his own (GASP). Regardless of how many suspects he could have he drops it down to three which in 88 minutes I don't know how he could manage to visit them all in the time he's got, but he does. From this comes in insane, over the top, ridiculous conclusion that will leave you angry and feeling like you lost your life in the process.
:up: THUMB UP for THE BEST HAIR IN A MOVIE: PERIOD!
How could you not stand in amazment and awe at Pacino's hair? Basically, it was as if, Pacino was found drunk in a dumpster and lugged to the studio to improv. Other than that, the movie is a comedy inside a suspense and the scene with the girl hanging on the pully is beyond stupid, well just like this movie.
:down: The movie makes no sense thats the bottom line. From the trainwreck of the acting to the obvious plot gaps, this was a movie not to be made and wherever they found this story (possibly at a bustop or on the subway) put this dog to sleep because the only thing better than this movie is maggoty salami with a helping of Pacino's hair.
