Plot Summary

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 "modus-operandi" and is investigated by Seattle Slayer 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.

Goofs

  • Continuity: Jack's Porsche has 15 spoke rims when it leaves the underground parking garage at his office. When he arrives at the university his car has 5 spoke rims.
  • Errors in geography: Although the film is set in Seattle, a Shoppers Drug Mart store can be seen early in the movie. Shoppers Drug Mart is a Canadian chain of drugstores, the movie was shot in Vancouver, BC.
  • Errors in geography: Although the film is set in Seattle, an orange "24 Hours" newsstand can be clearly seen when Jack Gramm is getting into the taxi at the beginning of the movie. 24 Hours is a newspaper published only in Vancouver, and Toronto.
  • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The name Jon Forrester is spelled Jon at the beginning but in another scene it is spelled John on the name MSNBC interview.
  • Crew or equipment visible: At 36'37" into the film, as Jack Gramm stops the motorbike at the car park barrier, a crew member can be seen in the background wearing combat patterned trousers and a black T shirt.
  • Continuity: After Jack receives his first phone call whilst giving his lecture, he places his mobile phone screen down, then when it rings again it is facing up with the screen visible.
  • Continuity: When Dr Gramm is driving his Porsche out of the parking lot it's on different rims than when the car is parked a bit later.
  • Revealing mistakes: When Dr. Gramm's Porsche explodes, it is clearly a mock-up. This is especially visible when the bottom of the car is shown, revealing an obviously fake exhaust system.
