Notes: Al Pacino is one of my all-time favorite actors. No matter what movie he’s in, even if it’s not a solid script, he gives it his all. That alone guarantees, at least for me, that I’m going to enjoy the movie. Now, take a movie like 88 Minutes, where Pacino’s character starts off getting an ominous phone call saying he only has 88 minutes to live. That sounds exciting, and the trailers are enough to get me in a theater, but other buzz says that it’s a movie full of clichés.
