I can't remember tha last time Al Pacino had a good movie? Probably "Heat", but that's besides the point. This movie intrigued me because it takes place in real time until the end. It starts off with promise when Pacino gets a call saying he has 88 minutes to live. From there it gets in way over it's head trying to fake the crowd out and keep them lost, so the audience can't figure out the ending. Once you get to the ending it's the classic too twisty for it's own good story that doesn't totally make sense. If you just go with the ending and allow yourself to be force fed the plot then it passes as a mildly entertaining film, but that's about it. Not bad, but not good. Very average.
