88 Minutes

Al Pacino, Alicia Witt, LeeLee Sobieski, William Forsythe, Amy Brenneman, Neal McDonough
Just OK

Synposis: A thriller about a college professor who, while moonlighting as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI, receives a death threat telling him that he has only 88 minutes to live.

Pacino is both great and completely irritating in this film.

The story managed to captivate my wife’s interest enough that she stayed awake WELL past 10 PM to watch it, so the “thriller” portion of it is worthy of 3 stars… but Pacino’s character is so flippin’ smug that you kinda wind up hating him even though he’s the hero.
