4.0 out of 5 stars a very thrilling potboiler (solid), Aug 22 2007

This review is from: Nick of Time (Widescreen) (DVD)

this is a very thrilling and suspenseful movie.the movie take place in
"real time" meaning that the same amount of time that goes by for the
audience,also goes by for the characters. for action and excitement and
nail biting suspense,this is the movie.great acting all around
including Johhny Depp in the lead role, as well s Christoper Walken and
Roma Maffia,to name a few.i was on the edge of my seat for this
potboiler,right down to the last minute.the tension was almost
unbearable at times.this is one well written suspense thriller which
ranks right up there,at least in my mind.but don't take my word for
it.run out and rent it.i'll think you'll really enjoy it.for me "Nick
of Time" is a solid 4/5

... yes this is in HIS tradition(working against the clock - bizarre mix-ups... - yup - working within a strict disciplin)...
Johnny Depp is in his first REAL mainstream role; but fortunately - it is a good 1... And an interesting 1. If u r one of those who must have fires, explosions, Vin Disel; stay away... As for the rest of us... Let`s sit down and enjoy a good suspenser:-))))

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm Sorry Johnny..., July 10 2004

By

"papa_t_bear" (Sedro Woolley, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nick of Time (Widescreen) (DVD)

Johnny Depp is clearly one of the most eclectic personalities the film industry has seen. He choses unusual roles and brings a unique presence to each character. Having said that, i am sad to say i don't recommend this specific film. I think most of us like to believe we are smarter than the 'bad guys'... and even though Depp always takes a contrarian approach to society and characters, i nevertheless felt my need to identify with the victim and overcome the villain was not being sufficiently fed. Who knows, maybe that's what Depp was striving for, the uncertainty and uncomfortableness of being in such quagmire of absurdities as to leave us (me) feeling angry at the good character, for being so dense. Christopher Walken turned in an average performance as one of the villains (If he really wants to expand his range he should try playing a vulnerable good guy). Perhaps that's what's really missing in this film- proper casting. Walken should have been cast as the hero and Depp as the villain. This 'Real Time' (Pre-'24') Drama really didn't work for me, but it appears to have set the standard for other 'real time' shows. What makes this film better than '24' is that it's shorter, and you actually DO root for the characters daughter to get rescued.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unconvincing!!
This movie does not work for me. It has no merits. As for the "In real time bit," I missed the tension of it -- maybe I should have synchronized my watch! Read more
