FROM VARIETY, CRITIC TODD MCCARTHY: "88 Minutes" can't even live up to its title. With 19 -- count 'em, 19 -- producers, including director Jon Avnet, ensuring that every aspect of the film, from the script to the star's haircut, is ludicrous in the extreme, the picture easily snatches from "Revolution" the prize as Al Pacino's career worst. Available on DVD in some territories as early as February 2007 and rolled out theatrically in France and elsewhere beginning in May of last year, this gape-inducing fiasco is getting a token domestic release that at least saves its star the indignity of a dump straight to homevid".
I MUSTA MISS-COUNTED OR HE KNOWS OF ONE NOT ON THE POSTER. CAUSE I ONLY GOT 18. BUT HE DOES CONFIRM MY SNEAKY SUSPICION THAT IT WAS GONNA SUCK.
NOTE TO ANYONE GOING TO SEE IT: Go to Rocket rent Dog Day Afternoon instead.
