  Nick of Time (1995)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
"Nick of time" is a splendid, action-packed and entertaining thriller and it creates lots of excitement by practically stealing good ideas from dozens of other thrillers but still keeping the own basic idea as unique as possible.
Although "Nick of time" is basically an excellent stuff the idea of the film is unfortunately way too unbelievable.
Exquisite "Nick of time" is an interesting film and it does exactly what it's supposed to do.

 Johnny Depp: Nick of Time - Movie
Pre-dating the "real time" gimmick made famous by Fox's hit series 24, Nick of Time utilizes this technique very well for the most part, even though there is danger of the film coming apart before it reaches it's climax.
Despite that, Nick of Time is a potent nail biter, with a great performance from Depp as an everyman in over his head, and a superb performance from the always excellent Christopher Walken as a man who seemingly has his eye on Depp every second.
'Nick Of Time' is a highly suspenseful movie, some of its plots and intrigues a bit far-fetched, but nonetheless worth your time and money to watch, particularly if you are a fan of Depp or Walken.

The spirit of Alfred Hitchcock's pulse-pounding thrillers hangs over "Nick of Time," though director-producer John Badham ("Stake-out," "Drop Zone") isn't quite stylish enough to allow the audience to forgive its lapses.
Still, "Nick of Time" isn't bad, if you can get past its ridiculous premise.
"Nick of Time" is rated R for violence and language, which could easily have been toned town to get a PG-13.

 ER | Nick of Time (1996)
When the credits roll and they stick "A Film By" in front of their name, they kid themselves that their work is elevated to the level of art, not entertainment.
NICK is an old-fashioned gimmick movie -- the kind where said gimmick is the only interesting point to the proceedings.
Especially since everyone in California -- except Depp, his daughter, the target and a shoeshine man -- are involved in the assassination plot.

 Nick Of Time - Movie Review
Real time has been done before (see also Alfred Hitchcock's Rope, which is not only in real time, but has the appearance of being one continuous shot with no cuts).
In Nick of Time, director John Badham has taken a traditional three-act thriller and jammed it into a sparse 90 minutes.
Given that Nick of Time won't be a smashing success, it'll be some time before the real time experiment is tried again.

 Nick of Time Movie Review
NICK OF TIME openly rips off Hitchcock by exploiting the fact that it is filmed in "real time" (that is, one screen minute equals one real life minute -- no cutting to later that day or two weeks later), but it's all boring enough that it resembles life's real time.
By the time the movie clock goes from 12:00 to 1:30pm, only seventy-six minutes have passed.
The whole movie is basically Depp wandering around aimlessly with Walken in the background, making sure he doesn't go to the police.

 Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
In the thriller "Nick of Time," the ludicrously malevolent duo of Christopher Walken and Roma Maffia select from a train station crowd accountant Johnny Depp and his 6-year old daughter Courtney Chase.
Clocks and watches, as in "Nick of Time," in "High Noon," in "Dr. Strangelove," in war films, heist, escape, flmail pictures and a host of other genres, regularly show the hour and minutes as we near the H-hour.
In "Nick of Time," outside and inside the Bonaventure, just about everyone Depp meets or warns is in cahoots with the plot's instigators.

 DVD Verdict Review - Nick Of Time
Of course, that was 11 years ago, and a lot of movies have been released since then.
I hadn't thought much about the impact of 24 on action thrillers, at least until I stuck Nick of Time into the DVD player and watched it for the first time in 10 years.
The return to Nick of Time is a bit of a disappointment now, as the only concept that once set it apart has now been outdone.

 Secret Agent Men
The movies are essentially Cold War cartoons having no more to do with reality than Boris and Natasha, and many of the 007 films have a lot of dead space in between the outlandish stunts.
It's what Bond movies were meant to do, anyway, and though the 007 movies feel less liberating and fresh now that we routinely get a dozen big, dumb spectacles a year, at least the Bond revival may show Hollywood how it should be done.
In Nick of Time, the new thriller that unfolds (like High Noon) in "real time," Johnny Depp rides an elevator, and we ride with him; goes to the bathroom, and we accompany him; gets his shoes shined (twice), and we sit with him.

John Badham directs this ninety-minute thriller in real time; the story-Johnny Depp must kill the governor of California by film's end or his kidnapped daughter will die-is hyped at every turn by flashy moviemaking, and the suspense trickles away.

The gimmick: The movie takes place in real time, ticking down to the 90 minute deadline when Depp's daughter will die.
Instead of marking the passage of time, the frequent clocks rather read as a countdown till the end of the film.
The real time gimmick isn't a complete failure, but its execution in Nick of Time certainly is.

Sure, the film unfolds with one minute of screen time equaling one minute of theater time, but there's no hint of tension.
Nick of Time relies on a bunch of easily-predicted "twists" to keep it moving.

The critics don't agree, the poor things are lost for words when a film isn't the biggest budget of all time, doesn't have a highly controversial script or can't claim to be the most special effect packed blockbuster ever.
This film is shot in real time which gives it a sense of urgency which is exactly what you are supposed to feel.

 ChatTimes Movie Reviews: "Nick of Time"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Dependable action director John Badham routes offbeat actor Johnny Depp decisively into the commercial mainstream with "Nick of Time," a film noir-style crowd-pleaser pitting an ordinary guy against an extraordinary but terrifyingly plausible menace.
An ordinary-guy role might seem a stretch for Depp, at least for those who have known him in recent years as the neo-Frankenstein of "Edward Scissorhands" or the anti-genius Hollywood weirdo of Ed Wood.
The experiment works more often than not, and the suspense is strong throughout.
