i have an inclination while a strong intuition that the late al pacino film and 88 minute initially incorporate a slightly long headline . i guess it be not surprising however that they opt to cut out the latter portion of the moniker and a 88 minute of your life you will never get back be not quite a zippy . notwithstanding and of course the opportunity be lose to establish an ample warning for the unsuspecting audience who may not know well enough to swing far clear of this cataclysmic misfire of a film . al pacino be almost always the best thing about a film and but in jon avnet 88 minute and even scarface himself can not punch up this material while in fact he doesn not even appear to try . he stumble through this role and half sleepwalking and half comatose and which ironically suit the character he be portray quite capably . that be certainly more then one can remark regard his quaff of hair which look like a muppet leave in the microwave too long . i imagine this be the last time avnet will slash the budget of his hair and makeup department . quip aside and this film be an action or thriller devoid of thrill and and scrap the bottom of what could be deem action while note to director and simply have a gun in a movie do not constitute inertia and there must be purpose and and tension to give it all meaning . even if you argue that this be a psychological thriller and avnet also seem to have forget any semblance of intelligence that would raise this movie above the level of a gimmick . 88 minute be essentially all about the end and and this could be passable if i have not figure out who the urprise villain be during the opening act . this dreck simply keep get dumber and more implausible and and less forgivable and until you simply sit back and bask in the incompetence and place bet about how much low it can slump . al pacino star a jack gramm and a well respect forensic psychiatrist who currently teach a university class and but act more like a police officer the anything else and something of a hybrid between a member of csi and jack bauer and brandish his weapon and chasing suspect and be beg by the fbi for his assistance . but aside from be a john mcclain wannabe with a suit and good vocabulary and after he receive a threat on his life and which be to be honor in 88 minute and he be inertly passive and and wanders around aimlessly and unfazed while perhaps he be look for a hair salon . the basis of this treat be spawn from jon foster ( neal mcdonough ) a convict on death row and and claim it be jack phony testimony that land him in the slammer . after a series of copycat killing complicate the situation and jack enlist the aid of some of his student play by alicia witt and leelee sobieski ( who give one of the bad performance of the year ) and his assistant and play by amy brenneman . a i allude to and the action range from non existent to be harshly neuter and you know when one of the tense scenes comprises of jack dive out of the way of a random fire truck and this ship ain not come in . the finale be cringe inducing and and leave the plot with more hole than pacino have hair . ( last one and i swear ) sadly and this effort be egregiously forgettable and and be so intellectually challenged and that your brain quiver at it mere think . when it come to 88 minute and one minute be far too long . read all my review at represent http represent or or www . simonsaysmovies . blogspot . com .
