88 Minutes (4 Stars)


This film is a gem that deserves to be watched more than once. A forensic psychologist is caught in a cat and mouse game with a serial killer sitting in death row. While watching it the first time I felt unhappy, because the killer seemed to be omniscient and omnipotent, but the conclusion wrapped up everything tidily. Other reviewers criticize Al Pacino's acting in this film, but I find his cool under-stated approach to his role perfect. The supporting characters also shine, especially the incomparable Leelee Sobieski.
