This fast paced movie that takes you on a ride to the exciting conclusion. An all star cast, 88 minutes, staring Al Pacino as an intellectual character, working as a police detective. Known for putting away a career criminal and murdering several young girls. On death row, but with access to the media, John Forster, taunts Dr. Jack Gramm (Pacino) and has the rest of the world questioning Gramm's credibility.
Angry over Forster's actions and on a chase to save his own life, Gramm receives several messages that he has 88 minutes left to live. Several of Gramm's students are acting questionably and involve themselves in the plot. One of Gramm's main students and his assistant played by Alicia DeWitt, Kim, finds herself involved in not only being one of Gramm's suspects, but also a target of her abusive ex, Guy LaForge. LaForge, seen several times throughout the move, on a motorcycle and clad in all leather, makes for a perfect suspect and ongoing backdrop character that averts the attention from the real killer onto him. When LaForge's innocence becomes evident the real chase begins. Heart beat after heart beat, you are looking to everybody's actions to see guilt and to solve the mystery.
Similar in action pace, but not action sequences as the Bourne series, 88 minutes is a good way to pass away some time and forget about things, as your mind has nothing else to do, but try and solve the mystery.
