Watch Nick of Time For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Impenetrability, that's irresponsible, is vulnerability that's responsible. Vulnerability is weakness. Weakness that's responsible is weakness that's careful. Weakness that's careful is strength that's careless.Carelessness is mindlessness. Mindlessness is randomness. Randomness is lack of intent.Strength is authority. Authority is logic. Logic is the lack of intent - logic is the lack of foresight.Foresight is foreknowledge. Foreknowledge is advantage.Logic is the lack of advantage.Advantage is necessity of battle.Logic is the lack of battle being necessary.The lack of battle is peace.Logic is peace being necessary.Necessity is certainty.Logic is peace being certain.Certainty is redundancy of battleLogic is peace being redundancy of battle.Logic is peace being the illusion of pointlessnessLogic is the illusion of pointlessness being goodLogic is the weakness of illusion being goodThe weakness of illusion is the strength of realityThe strength of reality is the illusion of strengthLogic is the goodness of illusion being goodLogic is the goodness of false goodnessLogic is the goodness of fair evilFair evil is the illusion of evilLogic is the goodness of evil being an illusionThough charming, Nick of Time is a disheartening film for its ethos is that goodness should be preoccupied with evil just being an illusion - or better yet, that it's good that illusion can't be inspiring

Johnny Depp is Gene Watson. Gene is a man with a good career, a wife he's divorcing and a daughter, Lynn, he loves dearly. Everything was fine until Gene was approached by Mr. Smith (Walken) and Ms. Jones (Maffia) - a 'couple' with a hard bargain for Gene: Your daughter is kidnapped, you have to kill California governor Eleanor Grant in 90 minutes or less, or Lynn will die.The film starts out a bit slow but it builds into a suspenseful thriller. Not my favorite Depp or Walken film but a good watch from time to time.6/10

Gene Watson arrives home in Los Angeles, after attending his ex-wife's funeral, with his daughter. Soon, his daughter is kidnapped. He is given a gun, and the picture and itinerary of a person, and told that if he hasn't killed that person in one hour and fifteen minutes, his daughter will be killed. The following takes place between 12:00 and 1:30.......In the eighties and the early Nineties, John Badham was the king of really cheesy action movies that featured quite big name actors. The majority of them are not very good, but all of them are ridiculously funny, and, for reasons always unbeknown to myself, they are always worth going back to, for some strange sadistic reason.The gimmick in this particular movie is the fact that it's set in real time, and this just makes the film even more stupidly entertaining than it should be. The narrative is simple, as is the plot. Depp has to kill someone, or his daughter gets killed, and everyone he seeks help from is either in on it, or buys the big one.It shouldn't be as good as it is, it's all over the place, but it's really worth watching for three reasons.1) The film shows that Depp can do normal if he wants. His Watson is a thousand miles away from Jack Sparrow, and him not having to mug his way through a film is quite refreshing.2) The real time. It is a neat gimmick, and this was before the advent of 24. It makes the film that little bit more urgent. But then you have to consider the fact that Badham uses slow motion........and a dream sequence in real time. And Johnny Depp goes to the toilet more times in ninety minutes than Jack Bauer has done in his whole career.3) Christopher Walken. If you appreciate the actors career from 1990 to around 2003, you will understand what I mean when I say the this is him at his most 'Walken'. The little wink when he's angry, the little hunch head and smile when someone disagrees with him. And of course, the high pitch and sudden gravelly voice change he's best known for.It's all here.If these three elements were not included in the film, it wouldn't be anything more than a lethargic, below par, race against time thriller starring a career struggling Stallone or Willis, which is quite surprising as around this movies release, both said actors were struggling with their careers.Worth watching for all the wrong reasons.

Really enjoyed watching this thriller of the 90's. The film is a short run, describing the high paced story of an executive who visits the USA with his daughter, and who is then blackmailed by conspirators into assassinating the to be governor, else his daughter will be killed.It may look old fashioned now, but it definitely will keep one at the edge of his seat from start to end, like "Vantage point". Johnny Depp has played his part well. Everything in the film is commendable. It has good thrills and action sequences, and sudden twists that you probably would not even expect.Should be watchable
