One Paragrapgh Review: 88 Minutes

88 Minutes tells the story of a forensic psychologist, played by Al Pacino, who is taunted by a serial killer. The serial killer, known as the Seattle Slayer, calls Pacino and tells him he has (you guessed it?) 88 minutes to live. The following is a series of action sequences and allegedly suspenseful who-dun-it scenarios. Basically, the thing felt like an extended episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. The movie was moderately gruesome at times, in addition to being pretty poorly acted. This movie wasn't as terrible as being the victim of a serial killer known as the Seattle Slayer, but it sure wasn't a good movie either.
