CRITIC REVIEWS
LEW IRWIN

Al Pacino is back in a Jon Avnet thriller, 88 Minutes, and a few critics agree that the film will satisfy expectations, especially if those expectations aren't very high to begin with. Rafer Guzmán in Newsday calls it "fast, sleazy and serviceable -- in other words, totally watchable -- and has one point in its favor: It never tries to pretend it's a class act." That's about the most favorable comment about the movie that any critic allows. Manohla Dargis in the New York Times describes it as "execrable," Stephen Rea in the Philadelphia Inquirer, as "maddeningly mediocre," and John DeFore in the Austin American Statesman as "salacious, ludicrously plotted trash." Lou Lumenick in the New York Post writes that it "holds you in a state of acute suspense, keeping you wondering until the very last minute whether this is the worst Al Pacino movie ever made." And Liam Lacey writes in the Toronto Globe and Mail that the film "is such a preposterous mess it's a wonder it ever made it to the theater."
