I mean, sure, this isn't award winning material. But 58 % on average? That seems rather low. It's a decent cat and mouse game with a plot that is not rocket science but still has enough tension to be interesting. I'm more suprised that this movie was made in 2007 as it seems much more along the line of 80s/90s cinema. Which may be intentional. I liked it.Watch the alternate ending if you can, makes the movie slighty better I think.

Navet ! Mise en scène, scénario, interprétation, dialogues... tout est mauvais et frise le ridicule. Al Pacino est grotesque. Next !

_88 Minutes_ is a decent film, but it doesn't quite rank among Al Pacino's best work. That said, it manages to keep you entertained with its array of twists and turns. While it may not be a standout in Pacino's filmography, it's a solid thriller that holds its own in the genre.

I know the appeal of this movie is Al Pacino's character receives a threat call informing him that he has 88 minutes to live and he has to figure out who wants him dead, and yet, during that time, it doesn't feel like 88 minutes and instead it feels much longer. I guess Roger Ebert was right when he said, "No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough."
