Capone Says 88 MINUTES Is Such A Mess You'll Want To Do Yourself Bodily Harm After Seeing It!!

I miss the days when... by albermarle	Apr 19th, 2008 06:14:33 PM
A Pacino release was worth getting excited about and he actually acted, instead of being a ham.

Saw this last year by I Own You	Apr 19th, 2008 06:29:55 PM
My wife, watching the commercials on TV said "Wasn't that the waste of time movie we saw a year ago?" Me: "Yep." Her: "And they're just getting it out now?" Me: "Yep." Her: "Should have left it on the shelves or sent it to DVD." Seriously, a bad film.
Razzie-worthy, and just 10% on Rotten Tomatoes by Pennsy	Apr 19th, 2008 06:33:50 PM
at last count.
I read this review in under 88 seconds. by mrfan	Apr 19th, 2008 06:37:21 PM
Thanks for saving me some dough.
How about a review for 69. by mrfan	Apr 19th, 2008 06:49:48 PM
Now, that is a number I like.
I saw it today and it stunk. by The Visco Kid	Apr 19th, 2008 06:53:01 PM
At least there were some hot women to look at, Alicia Witt, Leelee Sobieski, Deborah Kara Unger, and even Amy Brenneman looked good. The worst part of the movie, aside from the plot, had to be Pacino's hair.
Pacino is WAY too old for this part... by BigTuna	Apr 19th, 2008 06:55:04 PM
He plays the ultimate ladies man. Every woman/college girl wants to fuck him. Even the lesbian does too! He's an icky old man with a bad toupee.
Yeah it was pretty horrible by CherryValance	Apr 19th, 2008 07:02:05 PM
I went because some spy on here said that Al Pacino was hip-hop dancing in it. He danced for like a split second and it looked relatively normal. So I'm guessing they cut that out. :( Capone is 100% right. And the worst part is, you're gonna love this, there were these old ladies leaving the theater saying how great it was and that you just can't trust those one star reviews. I swear these are the same old ladies that I heard laughing about how stupid 'No Country for Old Men' was and how it was so bad that "they'll probably give it the Academy Award". No lie. The other strange thing is I sat there trying to figure out how to fix it as I was watching it. I was thinking if they switched Alicia and Leelee, and if (spoilers) all the students were in on it because they were anti-death penalty or something. But then I realized that was that Kevin Spacey/Laura Linney movie. And then I thought they were trying to kill Al Pacino by making him run up all those stairs and look at that ridiculous evil catwoman type outfit Leelee had on. Leather Tuscadero would be ashamed. lmfao
this movie is guilty by soup74	Apr 19th, 2008 07:20:51 PM
spoilers if you care.. this movie is guilty of having a list suspects, all minor characters, yet one of them is being played by a bigger marquee name. you can figure out right away who the killer is. Bloodworks, that clint eastwood movie, was super guilty of that.. you knew the killer, the motive, and just about everything else in the first 15 minutes. then they spend the reast of the movie dropping 'hints' that just get more and more laughably obvious.
leelee in leatherleather? by ironic_name	Apr 19th, 2008 07:22:30 PM
hmm?
soup74 by Herb West	Apr 19th, 2008 07:42:35 PM
Yeah, it was like a year ago. I saw it a long time ago after it was leaked. I didn't know they were just releasing it now, that's funny.
I can't wait till RIGHTEOUS KILL is released. by JerseyJedi08	Apr 19th, 2008 08:11:15 PM
The backlash is going to be deliciously vindicating.
Didn't this movie sit on the shelf for a year or two? by BrandonGK	Apr 19th, 2008 08:26:56 PM
I remember seeing previews to this back in '06.
It's the fucking OC kid isn't it. by Jackie Boy	Apr 19th, 2008 08:35:42 PM

It can't be that bad by thebearovingian	Apr 19th, 2008 08:45:10 PM
I mean, really, do myself bodily harm? NEVAH!
This is Fun Trash by topaz4206	Apr 19th, 2008 09:15:13 PM
What "Awake" was to medical thrillers, "88 Minutes" is to suspense thrillers. Not quite "Showgirls" bad, but still fun for groups of disparate moviegoers to poke fun at and/or enjoy in the comfort of their homes. Absolutely DO NOT pay to see this in theaters -- this is Netflix material. 3 out of 5 stars. If you agree (or violently disagree in a friendly way) let's be Netflix friends! http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFri end/PPI2Jko9KNQcmMT5f0h9
Damnit Pacino by aversiontherapy2	Apr 19th, 2008 09:50:58 PM
Why can't you pick a decent film for fauksake, you're one of the world's most respected film actors and you're pissing it away.

THANK GOD by BurgerTime	Apr 19th, 2008 10:01:10 PM
That's 88 minutes I WILL get back. Because I'll never actually watch the movie in the first place. See, I'll have 88 minutes of my life...ah fuck it...you get the idea.
Saw it last year, it was a mess by DarthBakpao	Apr 19th, 2008 10:02:05 PM

It's been on torrent for a month by Orionsangels	Apr 19th, 2008 10:31:38 PM

i saw the trailer... by Stevie Grant	Apr 19th, 2008 10:35:01 PM
and the fact that they couldn't muster an appealing trailer by string just a few minutes of the 60+ feature film together says all that needs to be said about this cinematic abortion.

Parts of Pacino's face look made of plastic by BenBraddock	Apr 20th, 2008 01:36:57 AM
He's had 'work done'... badly. Really noticed it in the Righteous Kill trailer. I didn't think he was the type to go down that road, but I guess he feels the need.. Pacino got old, he doesn't even scream anymore. Sigh. This movie was playing in my local DVD store the other day, I caught the denouement which looked atrocious so I hired something else instead. Why on earth is it being released at the cinema Stateside?

Hollywood needs a mandatory retirement age by Rocco Curioso	Apr 20th, 2008 05:23:21 AM
(Preemptive strike)Added to which, Pacino has played way too many cops already. "Heat" should've been his last hurrah in that genre. Let's examine his contemporaries: Hackman: Had sense enough to retire; should have made "The Royal Tenenbaums" his finale. Nicholson and Freeman: Both crusting over, and making a forgettable Rob Reiner weakass comedy only pointed that up further. Dustin Hoffman: Bag of tricks empty; go AWAY, at least until the unintentionally hilarious "Rainman" sequel pounds the final nail in his and Tommy Boy's respective coffins. Clint: stick to directing. I wanted to reach through the screen and sucker-punch his withered mug for that cliched role in "Million Dollar Baby". Redford: Time to recede to Sundance Film Festival Elder Statesman. They ALL need to take a hint from Daniel Day-Lewis, who knew enough to partially retreat from acting a decade ago, and only utilize his skills when the high ground beckoned.
Hollywood needs an enema!! by BankyEdwards2309	Apr 20th, 2008 07:23:20 AM

88 MINUTES: WAS JACK BAUER BUSY? by Robots In Das Guys	Apr 20th, 2008 08:34:54 AM
Oh, and the killer is the lesbian. They always are, Mr. Pachino.
rocco, you forgot bruce willis... by jig98	Apr 20th, 2008 08:38:38 AM
love the guy, but all he's played ever since the 1995 die hard threequel is different versions of john mcclane again and again. i could tell just by hearing him in over the hedge that he sounds tired and wants to grow his hair back.{sorry, snuck that one in there.} and i don't think nicholson or eastwood are done yet. they still have something good coming.

jig98, Robots In Das Guys by Rocco Curioso	Apr 20th, 2008 09:32:06 AM
Thanks for taking note, guys. Yeah, Bruce doesn't have much room to develop and maybe DeNiro will back off soon enough. I was thinking of actors at/around 70 years of age. Assuming they're still acting at that age and have been duly recognized, they have little else left to prove. Still, I don't see Shia LeBeouf pocketing a lifetime achievement award in the year 2050.
Buahahahahahahaah:@ that fucking wig on Pacino! by Stalkeye	Apr 20th, 2008 09:35:14 AM
This shit came out awhile ago on the BT scene.Shit it's no woner why I never really cared for the writers' strike.Very weak story and it reminds me of those cheesy Cinemax movies back in the day.Still think that blonde guy who played the death row inmate would have been a great Duke, but the way the GIJoe movie is going, he's been spared from that mess. Just not 88 Minutes.

They should just bury Righteous Kill before it's released. by Knuckleduster	Apr 20th, 2008 12:19:33 PM
Trying to cash in on the Pacino/De Niro team-up. It's a slap in HEAT's face. Fuck 'em, I say.
WTF HAPPENED AL? by Broseph	Apr 20th, 2008 12:45:30 PM

It's really bad by Teodora	Apr 20th, 2008 02:32:57 PM
It was actually on TV in my country a few months ago and although I love Al Pacino I stopped watching after the first 15 minutes. It must be his worst film.

I already saw this on a torrent last week... by Ray Gamma	Apr 20th, 2008 03:52:28 PM
...and I actually thought it was pretty good. There are certainly a lot of ridiculous plot turns and frustrating unrealistic choices made by Pacino's character, but as a fun thriller, it was quite gripping. It makes you really empathise with his paranoia as he starts to suspect absolutely everybody around him. Watch it and see for yourself. And no, it's not easy to se the ending coming from miles, it's still kind of a surprise.
When they show this on TBS next year by Napoleon Park	Apr 20th, 2008 03:53:38 PM
Will it be called 150 minutes? Because with Brenneman, Sobieski and Witt in it, I'll watch it. For free. On basic cable. Hell, I'll watch "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" just to see Alicia Witt as the least convincing cop in TV history.
ps Teodora above... by Ray Gamma	Apr 20th, 2008 03:54:01 PM
if you only watched the first 15 minutes, you're hardly qualified to describe it as 'his worst film', are you? Seeing as you haven't watched it.
The movie has been online for months by Cruel_Kingdom	Apr 20th, 2008 03:58:53 PM
Go find it instead of wasting your hard-earned money. It sucks and is not worthy of your money.

Too bad Lelee Sobieski can't get better roles. by rbatty024	Apr 20th, 2008 07:02:32 PM
She's a talented actress that doesn't typecast herself, but for some reason she hasn't been in anything good for a very long time. Perhaps it's because she doesn't typecast herself. Producers seem at a lost when it comes to talented actresses.
Rocco, your list is okay... by BizarroJerry	Apr 20th, 2008 09:47:34 PM
Except I'd remove Freeman and Hackman. Freeman still has some good stuff in him, I'm sure. The Bucket List and Evan Almighty may say otherwise, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. And I'd be content seeing Hackman acting when he's 97 years old. He's the kinda guy who's good in any movie he's in, no matter how shitty the rest of it is. I even think he's a bit underrated. But the 60s/70s era great actors are starting to or all ready have lost their relevance. Nicholson plays one character now, Hoffman had a small bit of a revival playing a strange old guy, but that's cuz he is one. Deniro, I think, has become bored with acting and tossed in a couple of comedies, some bad, just to have some fun. Pacino, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be able to move on and stop trying to recapture his "coolness" of past years. Come on, Al, accept your age, take a smaller character role. Maybe something akin to the understated character that Michael Corleone was in One and Two. Oh, and I think the only guy that stays good and may even have improved with age is Duvall.
BizarroJerry by albermarle	Apr 20th, 2008 11:07:45 PM
Totally agree with you about Robert Duvall, he is a god amongst men. Never seen him be anything less than great in a film and am confident that I never will.
BizarroJerry by Cruel_Kingdom	Apr 21st, 2008 12:10:06 AM
Have you seen KICKING & SCREAMING? Duvall sucked in that, as did everyone else who had anything to do with that inspid piece of shit. Love Duvall, but damn, that movie is SHIT.
Duvall of late is a split decision for me by Rocco Curioso	Apr 21st, 2008 03:11:24 AM
On one hand, he tends to fall back on that wizened codger persona(think "Phenomenon", "Deep Impact", "Gone In 60 Seconds", "Open Range"). Which is... OK, but that's all it is. On the other hand, give him a role he can sink his teeth into like those in "The Apostle" and "A Civil Action", and he's masterful. He's certainly left his mark, but I think his best work is behind him.
5% on Rotten Tomatoes by Kragmose	Apr 21st, 2008 05:10:16 AM
That makes it just a little better than Meet the Spartans.
