I saw this at a sneak last night here in Nashville and for those who like opinions(as we all do) here is a non spoilery review I posted elsewhere.
88 minutes starring Al Pacino opens Friday April 18.
Trailer
This movie has all the makings of a hit. The pacing of the movie is great. You don't want to leave your seat for popcorn or potty cause you will miss something. The movie does feel like its moving in "real time", aka the 88 minutes. Thus every few minutes your getting a new clue to figure out. The movie has about a 15 minute or so introduction window and then the "88" minutes kicks in but don't miss those 15 minutes either.
Kudos to Al Pacino for a great performance and the rest of the cast. I just about had it figured out before the big reveal and was only wrong on 1 person and another I'm still confused on but that doesn't ruin it for me. That character may have been an intentional red herring anyway. Despite this I can't think of any plot holes of significance if there are any.
Before the movie I wondered "Why 88 minutes, why not 45 or 96 minutes?"
They do explain this if your curious about that.
I really was trying to figure out why its rated R. Granted you see the fully nude woman for that 2 seconds in the very beginning but you only fully see her butt, nothing else. In a flashback you see the same womans side breast for all of .5 seconds. I've seen as much flesh in many a PG-13 movie. Language wasn't harsh at all. I don't recall the F-word but maybe it was there and I was so engrossed in the movie details I blocked out non-important verbiage. Even the murder scenes are tame. Just blood, nothing more. No decapitated heads or burned flesh. A few cuts and its no doubt a PG-13, even though I think it easily should be as it exists.
I give the movie a solid A and two thumbs up! Well worth your $10 at the cinema.
