88 Minutes

In Seattle, the successful forensic psychiatrist and college professor Jack Gramm is in evidence since he was responsible for the condemnation of the serial killer Jon Forster, influencing the jury to sentence him to the death row. Jon accuses Jack of manipulation, inducing one witness and sister of one of his victims to testify against him. On the eve of Jon's execution, Jack receives a phone call telling him that he has only eighty-eight minutes of life, while a killer is copycatting Jon, killing women with the same style and is investigated by Seattle  Task Force. With the support of his former wife and associated Shelly Barnes, the FBI agent and his friend Frank Parks and his assistant Kim Cummings, Jack investigate some weird and problematic students, a security guard of the campus and the woman with whom he had one night stand.
There are many twists and turns in this one and it's recommended.  There are a bunch of Jack's students that he begins to suspect may have something to do with the copycat murders so there is a lot of endings to try to predict.  I found myself guessing somewhat correctly on people involved but unless you've watched a ridiculous number of movies that have that twist towards the end it's probably somewhat difficult to predict. 
I'm gonna have to shave off a .5 percentage point here though just based along the fact that I hate cell phones and the majority of the movie has Jack Graham on one. 
7.5/10
