Ok, maybe I do as most reviewers are pretty "ivory tower." My review will be popping up later and I actually am giving it 3.5/5. Sure, it was pretty absurd, but it actually had my attention and I found the experience entertaining. I think the total exceeded the sum of the parts and Al Pacino is always great to watch on screen. Peter, I'm curious what YOU thought of it? Vic I really don’t get all the hate on this flick.

There just isn't denying that. As for 88 Minutes, it really is offensively bad. I honestly cannot understand how anyone read that script and thought it would be interesting. It's one of those movies, much like Meet the Spartans, that depresses you, because it gets made into a big-time Hollywood movie, when we know we could write our own script a million times better.

It was cookie cutter and not very suspenseful. Pacino is a great actor, but the plot and the writing didn't bring out anything special in him. I gave it a 3/10 on IMDB. That's about all I could muster. No chance that it's so bad it's good. No chance at all. I really really disliked this movie.

I just don't think 88 Minutes has it in it to be that type of truly awful movie. What I don't understand is why is Al Pacino (or DeNiro for that matter) making a forgettable piece of junk for a quick paycheck news? Just look at all of his uninspired choices in the last 15 years (though I'll admit there are a few exceptions). Everyone knows that those two guys were in legendary movies when they were younger and have the ability to put something good together now, but have just been making cash grabs and having fun being whores for a long time now. What would be really interesting is if someone like Daniel Day-Lewis came out with a movie like this or Hide & Seek, Two for the Money, or Showtime, etc. Now THAT would be newsworthy!

I hired that movie enough to buy it 5 time over.
