It is difficult to believe that “Bonneville”, and “Vantage Point” could be joined in the horror film genre this year by a Pacino star film; but to say “88 Minutes” bests these films says a lot about how bad this film really is. How is it talented actors lend themselves to such turds? This is well beyond my comprehension. Do they actually agree to do these films or are they being blackmailed into doing them. Nothing, and I mean Nothing, can be saved from this film. I was hoping even, to have a good laugh at the expense of this film, but it was too pitiful and contemptuous to make the slightest sad facial gesture. Other than Pacino; the acting was less than reality TV, the story was dreamed up by Martian’s, the filming was done by mammals with no opposing thumb, the director misread the recipe, the editor’s are beginners from the Institute for the Blind, And the writers should go back to digging graves for squished road kill; and the casting director should never again be allowed to assess talent. |
