Critics Consensus

88 Minutes is a shockingly inept psychological thriller that expertly squanders the talent at hand.

An average Al Pacino action film where he is contacted by a serial killer telling him he has 88 minutes left to live.

Thriller dalla scelta incomprensibile di far durare un film chiamato "88 minuti", più di quel minutaggio; scelta ancora più assurda considerando che il film presuppone che tutti gli eventi avvengano in quel tempo, evidentemente troppo ridotto per tutte le location e le situazioni che cambiano per tutta la sua durata. Al Pacino centrica, la sceneggiatura pecca nel racconto dei personaggi che girano intorno al protagonista; errore considerato che intorno al mistero di questi personaggi ruota anche il villain. il finale è troppo banale, la posizione di Al Pacino sembra irrimediabilmente compromessa eppure l'antagonista si mostra e viene sconfitta in modo piuttosto bizzarro,

I was hoping for more suspense. It's more like a suspense-drama.

Pick the worst episode of "Law and Order" or any other TV crime show, and it will be 10 times better than this. I mean that. Pacino has been in some bad movies, but this one is beyond shameful. Bad dialogue, amateur direction, amateurish supporting actors. What a disaster.

Interestingly, the more overblown and insincere a performance Pacino delivers in a film, the more self-important and bouffant his hair gets. Here, it's so towering it takes up 90 per cent of the screen.

Rated: 1/5

Time Out

Now that this stupendously inept serial-killer flick has slithered into theaters, the diminutive legend had better clear room in his closet for another cinematic skeleton.

Empire Magazine

It verges on so-bad-it's-good territory, but just isn't entertaining enough. Lacking in tension and pace, poorly edited and starring wholly unsympathetic characters, this is just dull, drab and boring.

Pacino is magnetic no matter what he's doing, even if his surroundings aren't quite up to par.
