"88 Minutes" under the banner of horror and suspense, is also taking the steps of this kind of film, but usually this kind of Hollywood has a problem-the screenwriter and director are too keen on making smoke screens. , Set up obstacles, in order to be unexpected, often at the beginning of the puzzle, people will see the hole card: those who seem innocent often have problems, those who are portrayed like the behind-the-scenes are actually just leading to the truth The roadblocks, usually the first to call for help and accidentally injured and no witnesses, are of the thief calling and catching thief type. So when I watched the film, I was neither frightened nor suspicious, so I simply enjoyed Al Pacino's acting skills in a leisurely manner.
The film covers some elements of entertainment commercial films: abnormal serial killer bloodthirsty torture, personality protagonist justice and law enforcement and heavy heart, frequent appearances of young beauties, popular scenes appear from time to time... The title of the film is "88 Minutes", but the overall style does not The anticipated sense of compactness and rhythm, some of the plot settings are abrupt, and the important scenes are insufficiently filled. Fortunately, in this old-fashioned plot, well-structured, well-established steps, occasionally exciting, and seductive movie, there is also Al Pacino. Wonderful performance. Although the 66-year-old is surrounded by young and beautiful beauties in the film, he occasionally shows tiredness when he is old and is busy eating tender grass from time to time. However, the old cow is the old cow, and the performance is both sophisticated and cow. The tender grass is indeed tender grass. , The performance of immature can only serve as a green grass to set off the safflower. It can be said that the film seems to be Al Pacino's solo show. If it weren't for him, he would not be interested in watching it. However, his posture in those few steps in the film is really ugly.
This time Al Pacino plays a court psychoanalyst and a full-fledged university professor named Jack Gram. On the day when the perverted murderer who undertook a case was about to be executed 9 years ago, he The police were told that one of his female students had been tortured to death the night before using the method used by the perverted killer nine years ago. Then he received a ghastly death threat call, and the other party informed him that he had 88 minutes to live.
88 minutes is a painful number for Jack. At the age of 28, he went out to attend meetings. His 12-year-old little sister Kate, who was at home alone, was raped by his enemy, a criminal who had been identified as a criminal, and He died after being tortured for 88 minutes. When Jack heard this number, he immediately knew that his opponent knew him well. After a quick investigation in his mind, he initially identified the suspect among his students, and three of these students did not have detailed files at the school.
When Jack entered the classroom, the camera quickly and unconsciously scanned his students. Among them, a boy named Mike seemed to be arrogant, often questioning Jack’s psychoanalysis and sympathizing with the criminal about to be executed. In fact, this is just a smokescreen, and the girl named Lauren looks like a good student. She is very positive in answering the teacher's questions, and she looks like Jack... Seeing this, I have delineated who is the old K. Later, in the underground garage, Lauren screamed for help and informed Jack that someone had assaulted her. The plot ended. In my opinion, everything was obvious, and he noticed that Lauren was very tall (little). The tall old Pa looks quite short in front of her), looks strong and strong, it shouldn't be a problem to kill a girl if she acts as a torture criminal.
The film has been inducing audiences to be suspicious of Jack's colleagues, teaching assistants, teaching assistants' ex-husband and other students, but they feel agitated because they have guessed the result. Finally, when the answer was revealed, it turned out that Lauren caught Jack’s colleagues and assistants, grinning and threatening to submit to Jack. The perverted criminal captured the heart and turned into a criminal (I was puzzled, I really didn't see that perverted killer has such a charm).
To put it bluntly, the plot of the film is a bit boring. Fortunately, the old drama has saved the scene. It seems that in recent times, many new Hollywood films can only be supported by acting. Al Pacino’s interpretation of a capable, past, connotative, and intelligent psychoanalytic master of the "Four Haves" has a sense of hierarchy. Jack's intuition is very sensitive and he can easily detect the weaknesses of others. The opponents are cunning and brutal serial killers. These people always use all kinds of superb criminal methods and psychological deceptions, so that the police can find no evidence, puzzle their heads, and thus escape the punishment of the law. Jack’s superb analysis often makes They deserve it.
Since his youth, Jack has been in the shadow of 88 minutes. Kate’s tragic death has become the biggest trauma of his life. Because the enemy broke into an undefended home and killed Kate, even if he is in a relatively high safety factor. At home, he also has no sense of security. There are passwords everywhere in his home, no matter the door or the various cabinets. He did not dare to marry and had no children. Because he could not bear the disaster once again befalling his relatives, he indulged his body but did not dare to indulge his emotions. His private life was sluggish and popular, and he was called "the master of the day and the party animal of the night". He is always drunk on every strange woman's bed, and he always sees his sister's innocent smile in his dreams.
When Jack received a call reminding him of the remaining time in class, he hid in the dark to answer the call, only showing his eyes to observe his students, quickly making judgments on everyone, as well as on his teaching slides. When the reminder time appeared, he immediately determined the scope of investigation. When it was found that the threatening call came from a person with the signature "Kate Gram", he endured his inner suffering while carefully calling his subordinates to assist in the investigation. Knowing that he can only win if he catches the opponent before the opponent controls him to death.
Jack, with tousled hair, shaggy beard and bloodshot eyes, looked sloppy and sloppy, but when he faced the murderer, his eyes were burnt. When he confronted the murderer who was being interviewed on live TV, his words were full of justice. His power and emotion, and when he heard that the murderer’s execution was granted a suspended sentence, he hung up the phone quickly with expressionless expression. This brief action revealed Jack’s complex undulating inner activities and suppressed anger.
In addition, the film reproduced the full and comprehensive use of mobile phones by modern humans, which caused a slight panic. Through this technology, people nowadays are not only communicating greetings, work exchanges, but some people use it to make bad things, make money, and even make money. Fraud, even more people use it to commit crimes. In the film, whether Jack keeps on phone calls to investigate the truth, connects live broadcasts through cell phone calls to tit-for-tat criminals, or criminals’ accomplices commit revenge and crimes through cell phones, here, cell phones have become the highlight, which promotes and guides the plot. The function is only weaker than the old Pa who is full of drama.
