Synopsis:
The clock is ticking for Johnny Depp in Nick Of Time, a twist - filled, race - against - time thriller directed by John Badham. And indeed it is a race, filmed in ``real time`` so that onscreen events unfold minute by nail - biting minute as they would in real life.
No sooner does accountant Gene Watson arrive at L.A.`s Union Station with his six - year - old daughter than he`s plunged into a nightmare. Two shadowy strangers [Christopher Walken, Roma Maffia] separate Watson from his little girl, slap a gun into his hand and present a devil`s bargain, kill a top government official before she leaves a nearby political rally... or never again see his beloved child.

Your Opinions and Comments
The movie suffers from bad acting, lame script and you`ll end up asking yourself "so what, who cares?" every once in a while.
The video transfer is average. While there are no compression signs, the movie suffers from scratches and dust particles. The colors are not as saturated as they should be.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is ok. The surrounds are used in several scenes, but don`t expect anything more than a couple of gun shots.
The menus are still and silent.
The disk offers no extras at all.
Bottom line - bad movie, pretty bad disk. Avoid.
