88 Minutes is a 2007 thriller film directed by Jon Avnet and starring Al Pacino, Alicia Witt, Leelee Sobieski, William Forsythe, Deborah Kara Unger, Amy Brenneman, Neal McDonough and Benjamin McKenzie.

In 1997, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Jack Gramm testifies at the trial of suspected serial killer Jon Forster, dubbed "The Seattle Slayer" by police.

Gramm, now teaching at the University of Washington, is questioned by a lawyer from the Attorney General's office, as well as FBI Special Agent Frank Parks.

The latest victim, Dale Morris, is revealed to be a former psychology student of Gramm's; they attended the same party on the previous night.

In the stairwell, Gramm encounters one of his students, Lauren Douglas, attacked by an unknown assailant, and he reports the assault to campus security.

Kim's ex-husband Guy LaForge appears with a gun at the apartment door but is shot and killed from behind by an assailant masked by a motorcycle helmet.

Renting a cab, Gramm explains to Kim that his sister was killed decades earlier when he left her alone in his apartment; the crime took exactly 88 minutes.

In May 2007, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group paid $6 million to acquire North American and select international distribution rights of 88 Minutes.

The website's consensus reads: "88 Minutes is a shockingly inept psychological thriller that expertly squanders the talent at hand.
