Review of Nick of Time (1995) by Rainer K — 07 Oct 2011

Sometimes you gotta ask yourself why they make these kind of movies...

I can't imagine anyone is really eager to see it:

- it's neither good enough to be considered a entertaining film.

- nor terrible enough to watch it to laugh at it.

Johnny Depp gives one of his most uninspired (uninspired is a good word for the film as a whole btw) performances I've seen yet in a typical Tom Cruise role (which tells how bad the casting was) and Christopher Walken underachieves as well. The soundtrack is annoying or more precisely - integrates itself in the overall picture^^.

All in all, the film lacks an at least halfway plausible scenario - I guess nobody can work with this script.

Nick of Time is pretty thrilling though but that's not enough to satisfy me...
