 Skip this one ... June 29, 2010

This poorly made movie is basically Al Pacino running around shouting into a cell phone. This movie has no character development, an absolutely bizarre timeline, and simply makes very little sense. In another review, someone wrote, "Your main character should never be a moron." I couldn't agree more. Pacino's character is supposed to be a world-class forensic psychiatrist, yet he is constantly making insane decisions, has incredibly poor boundaries with his students, and show very little insight.
The premise of the movie was good. It could have been a terrific thriller. Instead, it was merely a silly, overly-violent waste of time.

Made-for-TV dreck masquerading as a theatrical feature. Straitjacketed by Jon Avnet's lethargic direction, the usually formidable Al Pacino punches the time clock as a forensic psychiatrist in this so-called "thriller." Did anyone bother to read the script before shooting the first frame? A waste of your hard-earned 108 minutes.
Illogical and Downright Silly May 25, 2010
Loyd E. Eskildson (Phoenix, AZ.)
"88 Minutes" is one of the worst "thriller" movies I have seen in a long time. Al Pacino rants and raves and weaves in and out of ludicrous situations and characters (mostly young women) who can't bring any believability to the plot. Everything is overdone or overwrought - including Pacino. He is constantly startled and running from one unbelievable situation to the next. The whole idea of 88 minutes to die is contrived and nonsensical. It had every cliche and trick in the book on serial killers. The ridiculous twists and turns were laughable.
Whoever wrote and edited this film obviously were banking on Pacino to save it. Pacino can do a lot, but in this romp he was running from place to place while a superhuman assistant was getting anything he asked done in a matter of minutes. It was implausible! I cringed watching him trying to make a film that had nothing but bad lines become an interesting thriller.
Don't waste your time watching this.
 88 minutes of your life you will never get back. Sorry!!! May 15, 2010

I love this actor. I would go so far as to say that this is one of his best. However, in the interests of fairness, I must say that this movie is a waste of time. It is so bad that I even had to cringe when I think about how much of my life was lost watching it. I have to just say this because the script was weak, the acting was bad, and the editing was just plain awful. I mean really awful. Save yourself the agony of watching this dog by doing dishes or dusting. It is really that bad, so just avoid it.
