88 Minutes with Al Pacino

[Smoked]

Before I start just let me say that I am about 2 margaritas, and 1 Bourbon deep. I actually enjoyed my Bourbon with a nice cigar while watching this movie. I feel that this movie is a renter. If I had paid to see it in the theaters I would be a bit disappointed. Pacino is good in this movie but the directing and production leaves much to be desired. The story is just "ok". The characters really needed to be more developed for the effect that they were going for. I would not recommend this movie at all. When it comes out on video it will make for a great rental but other than that it is crap. It's great as a rental because it gives you plenty of time to enjoy a fine cigar while watching a movie that will not distract you from your cigar, while still remaining mildly entertaining. The bottom line here is that I would not advise seeing this movie. As usual Pacino is great but this was a bad choice for him. The directing and production was not that great.

Does Pacino do his usual scenery chewing shtick or has he actually gone back to acting yet?

Love Pacino. But he has become a one dimensional actor over the last decade. Lots and lots of yelling and less of the great acting he is capable of. Really looking forward to his new movie w/ Bobby D. Should be a great one, hopefully up to par w/ Heat!

"Hoo-hah!"

I just finished this, I thought it was a decent movie. It was not the best Pacino role to date, but he played the character well. The rest of the actors were sub-par at best and really lacked any real contribution to the film. I bought it for $12, I'll watch it again - no loss, but no blockbuster either.
