The film would make a moticom of intelligence it were called 8 HOURS, but as it stands the plot is totally unplausable-- it would take longer than 88 minutes for the plot to unfold the way it did (8 hours perhaps?). I enjoyed Pacino. Even HE seemed bored with the role and maybe dialed in his performance a bit, but even so he blew everyone else off the screen acting wise. The ending is ridiculous. The plot is ridiculous. The glaring red herrings are ridiculous. I saw this movie when it first came out On Demand years ago, and then again last week. It held my attention both times, but still, I can't recommend it to anyone unless they love Pacino. Not his best film by a long shot. But he brought SOMETHING to this screenplay that I enjoyed (it wasn't his hair, that's for sure). This movie has possibly the worst ending of any film I've seen. 88 Minutes? I think not. Great idea. Poorly executed. (Note: I'm usually loathe to give negative reviews, but this film warrants my reasoning for a generous 3 stars.)
