88 Minutes (2007)

From NetFlix:

Jack Gramm (Al Pacino) — a college professor and occasional forensic psychologist for the FBI — finds himself in a race against time when he receives a mysterious phone call telling him he has exactly 88 minutes left to live. Can he track down his would-be killer before the clock runs out? Amy Brenneman, Leelee Sobieski, Deborah Unger and William Forsythe co-star in this real-time thriller from director Jon Avnet.

As usual Al Pacino plays Al Pacino in this somewhat mediocre serial-killer drama. There are probably too many complicated details. A better plot would have made Al Pacino look guilty and would have made it more difficult for him to convince others of his innocence. He was too all-knowing and always knew what to look for next. I have seen much better “Law and Order” episodes.
