Director: Jon Avnet
Stars: Al Pacino, Alicia Witt, Benjamin McKenzie
Studio: Columbia Pictures
The Plot: A college professor (Pacino) who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI receives a death threat telling him that he has only 88 minutes to live, causing him to scramble to stay alive while he tries to learn his potential assailant's identity.
The Buzz from IMDB: We're thinking and hoping the reason this two-year-old project is finally getting a release is because director Jon Avnet and star Al Pacino's other new movie, Righteous Kill is as good as its buzz indicates. But all of our finger crossing might be for nothing, because despite this reliable premise -- and a cast that includes a bevy of lovelies and Ryan from The O.C. -- a quick census of those who have seen the film already says it's an exercise in formula and cliche.
Thanks for everything, IMDB. :)
