Summary: another Depp classic
Review: Depp really knows how to pick his movies. his career is astounding and hes one of my favorite actors. this one has Christopher Walken(hes always so evil), kidnapped Depp's daughter so Depp can kill the big kahuna or else Walken kills his daughter at a certain time. edge off your seat suspense with such scenes as when Depp dreams he kills Walken and then Walken throws him off the balcony, one highlight. a must see for any Depp lovers and another one of his best works I might add.

Summary: DEPP, WALKEN--AN AMAZING COMBINATION
Review: 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.

Summary: Great performances in tidy suspense filled film...
Review: Great performances all the way through this suspenseful nail biter, especially by Depp, Mason & Maffey. Fast pased and imaginatively directed, with real dedication from its talented cast, the only problem with this thrill ride is the often too-tidy plot points. Suspend your disbelief and let yourself go and you'll have fun with this quick 88 minutes movie. Too bad there are no notable special features to enhance the DVD.

Summary: real time plot made me wish movie was really over
Review: I got the movie because I think most movie try to neatly tie up things that happen over years time in 90-120 minutes. This movie was even worse. I did check my clock to see if really was real time but more often I found myself watching to see how close it was to being over. Christopher Walken is here, looking his usual emaciated self, as if they don't pay him between movies and all he exists on is water. He carries the movie, not Depp. Depp had help along the way but I kept wondering why these people would want to help him. Most people, if they see you on the side of the road with a flat tire won't help you. They won't even call for help on their cellphone. So why would they help someone who might get killed? I did kind of like the bathroom scene. That was the only suspense, but the filmakers threw in a fantasy scene that took away from the action. The female villian was entertaining as a reluctant babysitter. Try it. You might like it

Summary: Not too bad a movie
Review: I got this DVD purely for Johnny Depp, plus it was quite cheap, so that makes all the difference, right? Apart from the fact that he looked so much better without the glasses, and he was called Gene Watson (of all names!), it turned out to be an alright movie.

If you can ignore the continuous clock watching, and Christopher Walken always suddenly appearing in the background, and generally getting in the way, you'll probably get sucked in. But if you find these things distracting, you probably won't enjoy it as much. To be honest, the clock watching was getting on my nerves, as well as Christopher Walken & his ratty little mustache. But Johnny Depp is pretty much the centre of attention the whole time.

I've never seen the series 24, so this was my first experience of "real time". I found it quite good actually, despite the clock watching, and there were no slow bits, and you're constantly on the edge of your seat. Although, Johnny is far better in the more eccentric roles he chooses - he's never been a Hollywood starlet, who accepts every script he's shown. Most of the time, he looks uncomfortable with the gun, and as the clean shaven, short haired, bespectacled smart guy, he doesn't have the same appeal as the long haired kooky guy he normally portrays.

Some people have said why at the start, didn't he just grab his daughter, and shoot Christopher Walken's character in the head? Well, stupid, then there wouldn't be a movie!

There is a rather dodgy scene, a dream sequence, which will throw you completely. I didn't really think about it at the time the movie is supposed to be in real-time. I was too distracted by the fact that a gun which only holds 6 bullets, manages to shoot 7 or 8 if not more, without ever running out. Strange.

Sure, the plot of the story has a few minor holes, but it's still a good movie. But if you want to see a good Johnny Depp performance, grab one of his older movies, Benny & Joon, or something similar. They can probably be bought dead cheap. He's good in Pirates of The Caribbean, but the rest of the movie isn't up to scratch.

Summary: Thrilling movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Review: I recentely watched this movie and I thought it was very exciting, a true thriller. Highly recommended to those who like action packed films. I absolutely adore Johnny Depp and he did an amazing job playing the character whose daughter is taken from him and he is told to murder the govener by 1:30 or his little girl is toast. This movie portrayed an amazing storyline and it really gave you a feel for the main character. It is rated R for violence and language a is probably better for ages 13 and up. So please do yourself a favor andgo rent or buy Nick of Time on DVD.

Summary: Karen's review of Nick Of Time
Review: In this movie, Christopher Walkin's character kidnaps Johnny Depp's character's daughter and threatens to kill her if he does not kill the governor. Does this plot sound familiar? It would if you had seen the first season of the television show 24. The movie was made 6 years before 24, and though it's not as exciting, it's still entertaining and enoyable. I'd recommend it to fans of both Depp and Walken who do very good jobs.
