Al Pacino is a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI, a fact he tells us repeatedly throughout the movie, has a taste for younger women, is an expert witness for prosecuting serial killers, and has 88 minutes to live. Not surprisingly all those facts are related. Despite the hype, the 88 minutes of his life are not accurately reflected in the 88 minutes on-screen (unless Al has a teleportation device). The story itself is full of holes, including giving away the perpetrators too early in the story, and Al Pacino puts in a lazy performance. Calling this thriller mediocre would be too kind.
