Caution: Pacino bomb ahead

Oh, I do love me some bad movies. I don't normally jump the gun like this, and, besides, Wesley's reviewing it for the Globe, but Todd McCarthy's pan in Variety of the upcoming Al Pacino thriller "88 Minutes" (artwork above; bow down and genuflect before that hair) is just too good not to share. Here's the opening blast:

"88 Minutes" can't even live up to its title. With 19 -- count 'em, 19 -- producers, including director Jon Avnet, ensuring that every aspect of the film, from the script to the star's haircut, is ludicrous in the extreme, the picture easily snatches from "Revolution" the prize as Al Pacino's career worst. Available on DVD in some territories as early as February 2007 and rolled out theatrically in France and elsewhere beginning in May of last year, this gape-inducing fiasco is getting a token domestic release that at least saves its star the indignity of a dump straight to homevid.

The full review's here. "88 Minutes" opens in Boston this Friday. Admit it -- you're curious now, aren't you? Me too.
