Jon Avnet directs
Al Pacino in the
thriller 88 Minutes.
Pacino plays university professor
Jack Gramm, who occasionally assists the FBI in matters of forensic psychiatry. His recent testimony against a freshly convicted criminal seems to be the reason he has gotten a scary phone call informing him he will die in 88 minutes. As with the like-minded
thriller D.O.A. (both the original and the remake), the protagonist must use his skills in order to track down who has hatched this evil plot and hopefully prevent his own demise.
Alicia Witt and
Leelee Sobieski co-star as the professor's star students.
