Advantages: Good action Disadvantages: A bit unbelievable and Leelee Sobieski is a really bad actress
In his last umpteen films, I've found Al Pacino supremely irritating. Its been years since he done a film worthy of his early talent, and its been even longer since he done a film where he didn't spend the entire time shouting his way through his lines. Maybe the old fella has become a bit deaf. It was surprising then that I found his performance in 88 minutes a slight return to form, even if the film itself wasn't entirely fantastic. In it, Pacino plays a forensic doctor who lectures at the local university. He is a highly regarded expert in his field and is often called upon to give his expert opinion on murder cases.
The film opens 9 years in the past, where Doctor Jack Gramm assists in the conviction of a man who is accused of attacking twin sisters. Whilst one of the sisters died, the other manages to escape with relatively few ...

The plot sounded quite sinister and even though I usually prefer comedies or light hearted films I thought we would get an action film for a change. The DVD was only £4.99 so I was hoping it would be good. The front cover of the DV is quite mysterious and reminded me of other action films such as The Bourne Identity. There were not a lot ...

Advantages: It's hard to think of any. Disadvantages: Dreadful direction, writing and performances and a complete lack of tension.
's ear of it. He has no idea how to create or sustain tension, throwing in random swirling cameras at every available opportunity in an attempt to make things appear exciting and using an excessive number of flashbacks to events that occurred mere moments before. It is supposed to show how the central figure is piecing the puzzle together, but suggests that the director thinks his audience is a bunch of idiots. The pacing stutters because Avnet keeps taking breaks from the race-against-time element of the story to drop in clumsy character exposition. Although the film is called "88 Minutes" it lasts a-hundred-and-eight (mainly because of the extraneous flashbacks) and manages to drag. He uses clichéd devices such as a series of close-ups of characters' faces to suggest the paranoia Jack is feeling.
He also underlines the players he wants ...
