88 Minutes

In Seattle, the successful forensic psychiatrist and college professor Jack Gramm (Al Pacino) is in evidence since he was responsible for the condemnation of the serial killer Jon Forster (Neal McDonough) influencing the jury to sentence him to the death row. Jon accuses Jack of manipulation, inducing one witness and sister of one of his victims to testify against him. On the eve of Jon's execution, Jack receives a phone call telling him that he has only eighty-eight minutes of life, while a killer is copycatting Jon, killing women with the same "modus-operandi" and is investigated by Seattle Slayer Task Force. With the support of associate Shelly Barnes, an FBI agent, his friend Frank Parks, and his assistant Kim Cummings (Alicia Witt), Jack investigates some weird and problematic students, a security guard of the campus and the woman with whom he had one night stand.

I'm not sure what I thought of this movie. I know, that doesn't make much sense. I think the idea behind the movie was good, but the acting left a little to be desired. I almost felt like each actor was portraying their roles individually, but they never fully came together. There were too many twist and turns, most of which made little sense, and were not necessary to the plot. Alicia Witt played Kim, Jack's student teacher, and I was not impressed with her acting at all. It seemed emotionless. And she was in most of the movie. I don't think I would recommend this movie at all, unless you are really bored and have nothing better to do.
