88 Minutes [2007]
Director: Jon Avnet
Actor: Al Pacino, Alicia Witt, Neal McDonough
When I heard about this movie, I wondered why it hadn’t caught my attention before. I mean, seriously, Al Pacino in the lead, how can it not catch my attention, you ask? Oh, it’s easy, make it the worst piece of shit ever, and the first andonly Al Pacino film to be released straight to video. Let me summarise this film in one sentence, because it doesn’t deserve much more than that;
Pacino plays a forensic psychologist – and a pretty succesful one, it seems – who played a key role in putting this serial killer (played very well by McDonough, who is the only redeeming thing about this movie) on death row, and now it seems a copy-cat has it out for Pacino’s character, organising attacks and more killings, while everyone thinks that the death-row guy is innocent, forcing Pacino to dodge bullets and figure out how the serial killer is orchestrating all of it from his jail cell.
Oh; what the fuck is up with Pacino’s hair!?
