      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It isn't the worst '90s action thriller, but by bungling a story pitting Johnny Depp against Christopher Walken, the rote Nick of Time ranks among the most disappointing.

      Wayne K A solid and unpretentious Thriller from director John Badham, ‘Nick of Time" benefits from a strong performances from Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken at his most sinister. Is it predictable? Yep but it's still fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Craftnight 4 Die Idee finde ich spannend und interessant. Was es leider nur teilweise ist. Christopher Walken spielt super und Johnny Depp auch. Leider ist die Umsetzung nicht gut. Was ich gut finde ist das man nicht immer weiß, ob es wirklich passiert ist oder nur geträumt. Die Bildqualität gefällt mir gar nicht es scheint wie ein schlechter B-Movie. Der Film hat sein starkes potenzial leider nicht erfühlt. Es ist schwierig bei diesem Film. Mein erster Gedanke ist der ist richtig schlecht und dann widerum denke ich mir so schlecht ist er gar nicht. Der Film hat viele Probleme, aber Spannung ist teilweise vorhanden. Die Absolute totale Spannung das man mitfiebert und Angst um die Tochter hat ist nicht vorhanden.Ein großes Problem ist das gefühlt jeder zu den Bösen gehört mit ein paar Ausnahmen. Der Grund dafür das die Gouverneurin ist nicht gut ausgearbeitet. Das Positive ist das es in echt Zeit spielt und somit der Film nicht Zeiten überspringt. Trotzdem passiert relativ wenig in der Zeit und der Film hätte länger gehen müssen, um mehr über die Governeurin und die Bösewicht zu erfahren. Die Entscheidung Johnny Depps Charakter auszuwählen war einfach nur dumm und schlecht begründet. Spoiler: Spannend wäre es gewesen was mit ihm passiert wäre hätte er die Governeurin erschossen. 6/10 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review Steve D Thrillless thriller with weak performances from those that can do better. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review edouardo v A realistic and suspenful plot with good actors makes this an enjoyable suspense but with nothing new or major to add to the style. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Shaun D Had edge of seat moments and heart warming moments between the Father & Daughter. I did like a few of the minor characters. Sold film, but fairly predictable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/26/22 Full Review Audience Member If it's a Johnny Deep movie, you have to analyze the movie differently, he's always a show apart.

      Anthony Puccinelli Chicago Reader If the director's emotions aren't real, aren't engaged by the story, then his characters' emotions won't be real either. Rated: 1/4 Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Brian Tallerico UGO Rated: 1/5 Mar 24, 2007 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Another bummer from John Badham. Rated: C- Sep 1, 2022 Full Review PJ Nabarro Patrick Nabarro Fair enough if the film isn't going to be a cerebral treatment of its real-time hook, but, for the most part, it fails in its more simple and pulpy remit to thrill. Rated: 2/5 Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media '90s action-thriller has intense peril, cursing, violence. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
