Very Suspenseful For One Look

This is one of the most suspenseful movies you'll ever see, but that good for only viewing. After you've seen it, the impact is greatly lost for further viewings. It got panned by many critics for having too far-fetched a storyline,... Full review

This has got to be the most unbelievable plot ever written, which pulls the whole movie down into the sub-basement category. From the very beginning, you think that that no sophisticated hit man would pull a stranger from a train station... Full review

This movie is great, one of my favorites that Johnny Depp plays in. It starts out a bit dreary, but after the first 30 minutes or so it’s remarkable. Its one of those movies that keeps you on your toes, not... Full review

This is a really good movie. Gene loves his daughter and will do anything to get her back without doing the wrong thing. Johnny Depp's acting is great. He got his daughter back without having to kill the governor.... Full review

San Francisco Chronicle
Nick of Time'' is a better-than- passable thriller, even if it seems cut and pasted from a dozen other Hollywood potboilers and never attempts to use Depp's gentle, daffy charm. Director John Badham (``Saturday Night Fever,'' ``Stakeout'') tells the story in ``real time'' -- it unfolds continuously in the same 80- minute time frame as the events on screen, an effective storytelling technique. ...

Los Angeles Times
As part of the impressive economy that is the film's hallmark, "Nick of Time," which is spectacularly photographed by Roy H. Wagner, pares down exposition to a bare minimum. For Depp, the most venturesome young actor in Hollywood, "Nick of Time" represents a smart move into a genre that could expand his audience without diminishing his stature. ... Full Review

Washington Post
But despite a mood of ceaseless anxiety, and Walken's Luciferian presence (visually, he suggests a car salesman from hell), "Nick of Time" remains a premise stretched way beyond its breaking point. The faster the movie slides past you (and the less you ask of it), the better it works. ... Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle
It's a competent film, but it doesn't tell us anything about Depp's character, except that he was divorced and has just returned from his ex-wife's funeral. Nick of Time'' tries to give us the same sweaty, heart-stopping experience that Depp's character lives through, but it falls short of the real thing. ... Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
The millionaire is played by the dependable G. D. Spradlin, as your basic sinister military industrialist. Watson, played by Depp with a low-key ordinariness that is mostly convincing, grows desperate. Not that Walken isn't dependable, too. ... Full Review
