Directed by: Jon Avnet
The Skinny: A forensic psychiatrist and professor (Al Pacino) who helped put a serial killer behind bars becomes the target of either a copycat killer or the elaborate machinations of his imprisoned nemesis. After a phone call informs the professor he has 88 minutes to live, a cat-and-mouse game follows.
The Good: um er
The Bad: Picture the stupidest, most irritating person in your office. Now picture an entire city populated by them. Now imagine that they're all involved in a serial killer thriller that requires you to have suffered recent head trauma in order to play along. If The Silence of the Lambs is a well-tuned Porsche, then this is a Big Wheel strapped to an old lawn mower engine.
The Real Mystery: How exactly does Pacino's hairpiece manage to hover an inch off his scalp for the entire film?
Theater, DVD, or TNT in Five Years? You know what? You can miss this one entirely.
