Avnet treats his audience like we’ve never seen a thriller before, when really we question if we’ve ever seen one this bad.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jun 5, 2024

A film so stuffed with shortcomings that they can't all be addressed in a single review.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Razzie Al at his absolute worst.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 6, 2019

| Original Score: 0/5 | Apr 4, 2011

88 Minutes is the sort of overblown thriller in which every action, no matter how insignificant, is pregnant with portent, yet it's a film of nothing but red herrings.

| Original Score: D | Jul 12, 2009

Don't bother

| Feb 12, 2009

The overwrought production, sieve-like plot and ludicrous characters merge into something genuinely hilarious. But that's clearly not what cast and crew were going for.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 3, 2008

Ridiculous and ultimately disappointing thriller that stays just about watchable thanks to an amusing pair of performances by Shouty Al and his hairpiece.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 3, 2008

THE WORST FILM OF THE YEAR.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Oct 3, 2008

Pacino looks half asleep throughout, no doubt concentrating solely on his cheque, while the script is a catalogue of clichés and contrivances.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2008

Good Sunday afternoon entertainment but it won't hang around the multiplex for long.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 3, 2008

Full of dreadful turns and awful dialogue ("There's been a breach in my most secure area!" mutters Al at one point), 88 Minutes is 107 too long.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2008

It's called Eighty Eight minutes. But, in fact, it's one hundred and seven minutes of your life that you lose should you persevere with this witless thriller.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2008

There are more thrilling ways to spend 88 minutes, like counting from one to 5,208.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2008

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/6 | Oct 3, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2008

The kindest thing one can say is that director Jon Avnet and screenwriter Gary Scott Thompson bought a flatpack version of a thriller and then couldn't follow the instructions. Manuals can be confusing.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Oct 2, 2008

The movie runs blandly through its paces without generating an ounce of tension or suspense.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 19, 2008
