Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Tss5078 I've always said that previews can be deceiving, because it's the job of the people who make them, to make any film look good, even something as bad as 88. The story itself had promise, featuring a young woman named Gwen (Katharine Isabelle), who wakes up on the side of the road with amnesia and a gun. In those first five minutes, the film looks decent enough, but it's pretty much all downhill from there. The film is centered on Gwen and utilizes flashbacks, to show her life before the amnesia, and what cased the amnesia, but they don't stop there, as they go from the present to flashbacks on just about every character you meet. If that wasn't confusing enough, that's when the flash forwards begin and once that happen, I was completely lost. Every thing in this movie flashes at the speed of light. and it is impossible to know what the hell is going on! The casting for this film also seemed like a bad joke, as you've got a star, who seems to be a reject from the real housewives of the trailer park, being chased by Christopher Lloyd. At nearly 80 years old, the man who brought Doc Brown to life, is one of the bad ass gangsters this girl works for, is afraid of, is in love with, who knows? And that's the point, no one know because no one can follow this movie! 88 is just one bad trip, that's all over the place and features a cast that is way to old to be believable. I don't say it often, but there is absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie and you should most certainly avoid it!

dredstimpson Hated it - just because I really didWell, no, not really. The lead is quite believable, but I have to give it 1 star just to offset the incredible amount of people who think this is a 10. It's more like a 4-5 movie, straight-to-video I would imagine.The only reason I am writing this is because I forced myself to finishing watching until 2 in the morning and it just wasn't that good. Yay! Katharine Isabelle! - Nice job, crappy movie.Action was decent, but laughable. This may be a great movie for law enforcement. I'm not in law enforcement, and I don't own any firearms, but I'm fairly certain that if I did I wouldn't be in a fire-fight in any manner of how these individuals acted with a gun in their hand. Totally laughable!Story line was convoluted at best. Some flashbacks, dark scenes, it seemed like there were two or three timeless, but they were not effective in anyway except to account for lack of plot.Speaking of a lack of plot, there were too many songs which were supposed to bridge over lulls in the plot. (Always a bad thing in any movie, music can enhance, songs are used in lieu of a plot). (It can be done, it's just very difficult)So, after all that, I changed my mind 3/10, but still 1/10 to add balance to the rating.oh, one more thing; I have no idea what Christopher Lloyd was saying most of the time (bad sound or he just mumbled a lot, I'm not sure).

A_Different_Drummer Short Review: This writer wrote a very positive review of American Mary (here on the IMDb) noting that it was not only a superbly produced and directed little indie, but that it finally gave Isabelle room to shine, and she was brilliant in it. The implication was that casting directors would take note and her next film would be a step up .... well, that did not exactly happen....Longer Review: To understand this film you need to understand two things initially: (a) The films made and distributed in the 1970s were a reaction by film-makers to industrial-quality and soul-less films produced in the 60s, possibly the last decade where the big studios from the 1930s still held sway. The films of the 70s -- now almost a "lost decade" to reviewers -- deliberately broke all the rules of editing, pacing, cinematography, continuity ... to be different, to make a point. As such, they succeeded, but they still were not especially good films, nor did audiences get much joy from them.(b) what the Canadian and Austalian film industry have in common is that both are creatures of government fiscal policy, not responses to viewer demand. In other words, both were artificially created by bureaucrats. In the case of Canada, the industry lucked out when American producers, fed up with high costs and tough unions, saw a chance to reduce top-line costs by shooting in the North. While the Canadian industry is financially successful, and has spawned some excellent product, it still remains the easiest venue in which to produce knock-offs, bad sequels, and B-movies where the main goal is a successful financing and not necessarily a satisfied audience.SO...With these two concepts firmly in mind, I would opine that Isabelle's much-awaited followup to American Mary is, disappointingly, a weird and vacuous homage to the 70s style of film-making, featuring an incomprehensible plot, erratic direction and editing, and massive stretches with no dialog at all because -- frankly -- that saves even more top-line money for the production. That it was produced in Canada only serves to emphasize how this was at its core a financial exercise, not an artistic one. And to those reviewers who dare suggest that the presence of Christopher Lloyd and Michael Ironside somehow raises this to an A-class production, all I can say PA-LEEZE, the former is at a point in his career where any work is good work; and the latter has of late mainly become a voice actor for animation. (The fact that Ironside himself is Canadian and started his career by making Canadian films in the 70s only adds a new and un-needed sheen of irony to any discussion of "88").

dfsdsdfas ..you know when someone tries to play a psychopathic stonecold killer and everything looks like pretending? nothing to worry about here. the poster gives it no justice, not cheap, not corny. it's stylish and dirty - nice to look at but not staged. the psychotic breaks are beleavable and the flashbacks interesting, not confusing. wasn't sure if she would pull it of, cause from my first impression the storyline, the poster.. it didn't really give me much - but there were no bad parts for me in it, every character fit to the story.a lot of dead bodies, no shortcoming of blood..but not too much gore. in some episodes of hannibal i was very drawn to the character she played, and i recognized her from American mary - which had a lot more gore (to say the least)..sooo..well rounded action-flick with plot-twist and love-driven psychotic avenging angel.
