In fact, there is nothing outstanding in the plot. If you are familiar with the routine, you can find the answer very early. "Death after 88 minutes", this kind of setting, the tension is caught, and it basically passes the look and feel. One thing I like is that the film is not in a hurry to enter the exciting stage of chasing and fleeing with similar themes, but gives enough foreshadowing. First, it is hidden, secretly suspicious, and tempted. As time approaches, the rhythm also speeds up. Throughout the article, the medical professor maintained his sanity and strong ability to withstand pressure, and only showed his collapse in two places. Once, when he confessed to his assistant about the murder of his sister, he whimpered because he was too guilty. Even so, it was a proper cry. The second is to defeat the villain at the end, and throw away the phone angrily at the end of the call, very relieved. The story follows the male protagonist's suspicion and is constantly locked and eliminated. The story time and the real time basically overlap, so that the process of character tracing and escape can be fully displayed, giving the actor enough space for expression. Pacino showed in this movie. There are few tensions in later works.

Kim Cummings: Just another day in the life of Jack Gramm.

Jack Gramm: [to Kim] You asked me about my kid sister. Okay, it was a long time ago. She was staying at my apartment in New York City. She was twelve, I was twenty-eight, and I was late for a meeting. A very important meeting. Meeting that was going to change my life, was gonna make me into somebody important, make all my dreams come true. So, I went to this meeting on this dissertation, and I left her there by herself. Now I could've taken her with me, I could've left her with friends, I could've post-poned the meeting... but I chose not to because I was in a hurry. Anyway, I left her there alone. At the time, I was working on a case. This guy had strangled six women. We were very close to nailing him. He was upset, and he wanted to get back at me, so he came to my apartment only I wasn't there. At that time, I wasn't as concerned for security. I was careless, so he broke the door down and he went in, and did things to my baby sister. Catherine was her name; Katie. He did things that you wouldn't do to an animal that was bred for slaughter. Anyway, when they caught him, he laughed and said it took him 88 minutes. It took him 88 minutes to hack my sister to bits.
