This film annoys me every day

Hi, since watching this film, i've been haunted by it's terrible storyline, acting, direction every day since. Seriously, i think about scenes of it everyday and how bad they are.

There is one seen where the "killer" is wearing a bike helmet so we don't know who she is!!! WOOO! And that stupid dialogue "Tick Tick Tock!"

My God, it's just terrible.

This has to be one of the worst movies ever made. I'm annoyed and angered by it just thinking about it.

This man , jon avnet, must be stopped. He's inflicting irreversible psychological harm to all those who watch his movies.

I am starting the "88 Minutes Recovery Support Group", a support group designed to help those recover from the viewing of this movie. The group offers counsilling services to disadvantaged movie goers who accidently picked this DVD up from the shop thinking it was good.

If you would be interested in the support group, please let me know.

The fact that you are STILL thinking about it means the director made an unforgetable movie, good or bad, which is generally the point of movie making. If you are that obsesed with it, it can not be that bad.

Hi my name is John Harold and I just saw 88 minutes.

I too have been greatly disturbed by such an atrocious film.

"I'm a forensic psychologist with the FBI. Show me your hands!"

"OMG that man has a gun." Girl is staring at fire engine in horror and the camera pans out as the fire truck tries to kill innocent bystanders).
Quickly Pacino, run in front of a fire engine then dive roll out of the way for no apparent reason. Most random scene ever!

The killer went to all the trouble of using a turkey baster to take semen samples in the hope of framing Gramm, yet she tries to kill him just because its 88 minutes. Luckily he was on time...

The timing was completely out. He did lots of things in mere minutes that only superman could achieve is such a short amount of time.

Gramm needed the girl to help him yet she does nothing at all besides gets her breasts fondled by him when possible.

The majority of the film is Pacino driving around in a sports car screaming into his phone.

The FBI agent points a gun at Gramm and screams at him that he has lost control, gone over the edge and is crazy etc... but then lets Gramm go to finish his "crazy" plans.

So many issues with this film it turns into a comedy.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot:

The morale of the story is if you are pretty sure someone is guilty, it is cool to lie under oath! ;)

haha you guys are hilarious, i agree sometimes i find myself thinking randamly about what an idiotic movie this is,

-its no secret your a womanizer, and drink to much how do i know what your capable of-

why the hell is that dude from the o.c. suspecting he is the killer anyway, where did he get all these ideas.

the bad chick at the end decides to do her little thing in the middle of a public building, couldn't anybody just come in at any time and see her. how long would it take to rig that whole device without a janitor or someone seeing you and asking what the hell your doing.

and then when she is gonna kill him instead of just shooting him right away she acts like she's aiming at a far away target, putting both hands on the gun, and you see her eyes focus deeply, i mean the guy was standing right there, but i guess it was a plot device so the fbi agent behind her had enough time to save al pacino. plus while taking her time to aim carefully at al pacino standing 5 feet in front of her and putting both hands on the gun wouldn't the dean have fallen down to the ground, who was holding that rope.

its actually one of those movies that is so bad its kinda funny like 3 ninjas high noon at mega mountain.
