Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Jack and Kim are out on the street to get to the Porsche, you can see a Roots store on the corner (directly behind them). There are no Roots stores in Seattle, and there are only four in all of United States, Beverly Hills CA, Aspen CO, Birmingham MI, and Park City UT.

Fast paced and very entertaining "who done it" worth an 8 out of 10 stars

This film is a very fast paced thriller that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. Even though the film is set to take place in an 88 minute time period it's physically impossible for all the acts to have occurred in this short amount time. For instance, in just one of the driving scenes alone it would probably have taken at least 30+ minutes to get from on location to the other. Add in one or two more of the travel sequences and the 88 minutes are long gone. That being said, I still thought the movie was spectacular. I was so wrapped up in the film that I honestly didn't even pay attention to the realism factor of time until after the film was over when I sat back and re-analyzed it. For some reason the "Critics" didn't seem to like the film too much, but then again, isn't everyone a critic? I felt it was well worth the admission price and I highly recommend going out and seeing it. Pacino was a good as ever. I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
