Fun Stuff

Trivia:
At the moment Jack Gramm is first told he has only 88 minutes to live, the remaining running time of the motion picture, including final credits, is 88 minutes. more
Goofs:
Plot holes: In real life, it would be impossible to determine if the semen is Dr. Gramm's without comparing it to his own DNA, something that would require a warrant to obtain if not offered by Gramm. In any case, it takes much longer than one day to determine a DNA test's result, not the following day, as in the movie. more

There is a good reason why they don't want to release it, 23 January 2007
Author: lukas8 from United States

This is such a poor movie, it is unbelievable. Especially considering it has such a solid actor like Al Pacino. Fans of his will wish they never saw it.

Al plays the role of a psychologist consultant for the police who is also a teacher of forensic psychology. The movie starts the day a serial killer who was convicted based on his testimony is about to executed. But it is a bad day for Al's character because there is new evidence that suggests he helped convict the wrong man. Oh, not only that, but he receives an anonymous phone call telling him he has 88 minutes to live.

Al Pacino plays a hardcore guy in most of his films, that is usually what makes them great. It seems like they tried to do the same thing with this movie and accomplished the opposite. His character is surrounded by bimbo 20-year-olds throwing themselves at him and guys with leather jackets for him to beat up. But it just ends up feeling like a desperate attempt to prove he "still has it." The only thing floating this movie is a gimmick for a plot (the whole 88 minutes to live thing) which sort of ends of being a subplot anyway. Al Pacino fans are going to hate me for saying all this until they see it for themselves.
