Movie Reviews of Nick of Time
Movie Review: Well Worth Your Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Nick of Time was well worth my entertainment time. The forced choice--faced by Gene Watson (Depp)--ninety minutes and six bullets to kill the Governor or lose his kid, kept me on the edge up to the end of the movie. Depp was pentultimately believable and single-handedly unraveled the threads of fear, rage, and revenge as he struggled to rescue his daughter.
The four other supporting actors/actresses who were outstanding in their roles were: (1) Christopher Walken who played the chief villian role (Mr. Smith) in forcing Watson's choice to kill; (2) Roma Maffia (Ms. Jones) who played the role of an assistant to Mr. Smith and acted as the point person assigned to kill the daughter if Watson did not follow through with his assignment; (3) Charles Dutton (Huey) the hotel shoe shine guy who turned out to be the saving grace for Watson and his daughter; and finally, (4) Courtney Chase (Lynn Watson) played the young daughter and performed well as the little chatter box who Ms. Jones preferred to return as an unwelcomed ransom.
While they played minor roles, it was great seeing Marsha Mason in the role of the Governor and Gloria Reuben (of ER) in the role of Krista Brooks, the Governor's Assistant. The Cameo appearance of Tom Bradley, former Mayor of Los Angeles and the consultation with Governor Gray Davis' staff added to the real timeliness of this movie.
Nick of Worth Your Time !!!
Movie Review: Depp and Walken at their finest
Summary: 5 Stars
A complex real-time thriller with a fantastic cast.
Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken anchor a strong cast which also includes Charles S. Dutton's finest film role.
To long-time Depp fans this should be a classic. Amongst his strong film roles in the 90's (The Astronauts Wife, Ed Wood, The Ninth Gate), in my opinion this is the strongest.
Depp plays the father of a kidnapped child who must find a way to do what is right, while still protecting the life of his child. Christopher Walken is the antithisis of Depp, an agent of evil who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal of assasinating the governor of California. Charles Dutton is an innocent bystander (the same as Depp) caught in the middle of this cat-and-mouse game being played by Depp and the many forces that have put him in the precarious position in which he now finds himself.
The real-time aspect of this film serves to heighten the tension, while providing a unique measuring tool which the viewer can directly relate to.
Long before the 'Pirates of the Carribean' franchise vaulted Johnny Depp to A-list fame in Hollywood, he was churning out many top-notch performances such as the one found here in 'Nick of Time'.
For any fan of Depp or Walken, this is a definite must own in your collection.
Movie Review: Nick of Time
Summary: 5 Stars
I first watched Nick of Time on cable about 5 years ago. I was so into this movie. It is like a good book...you just cannot put down until you have finished reading it. I had to have this for my own collection. It is truly a fantastic movie. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think Gene Watson (Johnny Depp) has finally found help from the officials he thought he could trust, lo and behold he learns everyone he approaches is involved in this dirty political event. Christopher Walken and Johnny Depp together are awesome. These two actors delivered a powerful, intense, riveting suspense that will have you wandering who will survive. Movie lovers...do not hesitate to purchase this DVD.You will not regret it. You will want to watch it over and over again.Movie Review: another good Depp movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
my mother say's Johnny Depp is one of her favorite actors. we'll of the younger generation. he's a truly gifted actor and fully becomes each character he plays.
i like watching his movies as well. this one has Christopher Walken playing in it. it's set in real time. he's given a gun a photo and a short amount of time to kill someone. i'm not going to say who or what causes him to do it, just watch it and find out.
don't read any detailed reviews. if you've not seen it watch it for the first time and just see it. anything more descriptive will ruin the whole movie for you.
it is worth buying as well, but if you are into just renting you won't be disappointed. a good flick...
enjoy,

Movie Review: DEPP, WALKEN--AN AMAZING COMBINATION
Summary: 5 Stars
FIRST OFF I'D LIKE TO SAY IT CONTINUES IN THE STYLE OF THE MASTER, ALFRED HITCHCOCK. NOW I KNOW PEOPLE WILL SAY HOW CAN YOU COMPARE THIS FILM WITH ANY HITCHCOCK FILM, NO MATTER HOW OBSCURE. BUT HERE ME OUT, THE 90 MIN. TIME FRAME IN ACTUAL TIME, THE CAMERA ANGLES AND SHOTS, THE AVERAGE MAN IN TROUBLE. ALL ELEMENTS OF THE MASTER. NOW BACK TO THE FILM. NICK OF TIME HAS JOHNNY DEPP, THE WORLDS MOST UNDER-RATED ACTOR. HE IS MARVELOUS IN EVERYTHING HE DOES, INCLUDING THIS GEM. CHRISTOPHER WALKEN--(AS I MENTIONED IN ANOTHER REVIEW)-- NEED I SAY MORE. WALKEN IS THE MASTER OF HIS DOMAIN. FROM TRUE ROMANCE TO DEER HUNTER, HE'S UNTOUCHABLE. NICK OF TIME IS A WONDERFUL THRILLER WITH TWO OF OUR GREATEST ACTORS.
