In John Badham's NICK OF TIME, Johnny Depp stars as Gene Watson, a mild-mannered, widowed accountant, and the father of six-year-old Lynn (Courtney Chase). While in Los Angeles's Union train station, they are abducted by a mysterious couple posing as police officers, Mr. Smith (Christopher Walken) and Ms. Jones (Roma Maffia). They give Gene a loaded gun and these orders: assassinate the flaming liberal governor of California (Marsha Mason) within the next 90 minutes, or they will kill his beloved daughter. Gene reluctantly agrees, and he is taken to the Bonaventure Hotel where the governor is making an appearance. Tension mounts as the clock ticks and Gene must outwit his conniving kidnappers. Shot in real time, the action of the movie is documented in the actual 90 minute running time of the movie. As Gene faces his gruesome task, minutes slip away, creating a palpable tension and a breathtaking reminder of every agonizing second. Christopher Walken is at his devilish best, wickedly tormenting the innocent hero. Reminiscent of Hitchcockian dilemmas, Gene is an ordinary man trapped in an extraordinary situation, forced to act before it is too late.

Customer Reviews
I bought Nick of Time simply because I've yet to see a bad Johnny Depp movie. I'd never heard of it, but the price was right, and the synopsis sounded good. I got a lot more than I bargained for. This movie was intense from beginning to end. Gene (Johnny's character) and his daughter Lynn (Courtney Chase) are abducted, and Gene is forced to assasinate the governor of California. Christopher Walken plays the adversary who shadows Gene's every move. Without giving away the ending, the story is intense and very involved. Gene finds an unlikely ally to help him out. I highly recommend it.

My mother loved getting this movie for Christmas. She loves Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken makes for a great villain.
