Trivia:
The bulk of the movie was shot almost entirely hand-held using combinations of multi-camera and Steadicam set-ups. Even during the few actual dolly tracking sequences, the camera was hand-held and operated from a dolly by a seated cameraman. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Huey (the shoeshine man) tells Watson that he was wounded while serving in the Army Artillery Corps. First, the Artillery is a branch, not a corps. Second, Huey wears a Combat Infantryman's Badge on his vest. That award is given only to infantry troops. more

How are we gonna' get out of this fix?, 5 September 2003
8/10
Author: Morgan D Lee (mdlee@suddenlink.net) from Onalaska, TX

When you see the name Wes Craven, John Carpenter or Brian de Palma, we know that we can trust that we're in for a couple of hours of fine entertainment.

Although not as much a household name as the directors above, John Badham knows how to tell a suspenseful story as well as any of the other "kids on the block." Please look up his filmography and see all the countless house of excellent entertainment he has brought us; not only on the big screen but on television as well.

In "Nick of Time" John carefully guides us through one disaster after another. Johnny Depp conveys his frustration and fear that he might not be able to prevent any of the bad things that will happen.

Christopher Walken again proves that he is as comfortable being the "heavy" as he has been the "hero."

At a time when sometimes the good guys don't always win and the bad guys sometimes "get away with it," this is one cinematic thriller that should keep you on the edge of your seat the whole 90 minutes.
