Nick of Time (1995)

An unimpressive, every-day man is forced into a situation where he is told to kill a politician to save his kidnapped daughter.

Fairly enjoyable, if you have no reasonable doubts about the outrageous plot.

Halliwell (no stars): "A thriller in which real time and the film's time are the same, but it still drags at times, failing to create the necessary suspense, owing mainly to the spiralling absurdity of its narrative."

Maltin **1/2: "Watchable suspense yarn drwas you in, but hurls credibility roadblocks in your path at every turn. A game cast gives it 100 percent. Attempt to create heightened suspense by playing out the story in "real time" (with endless closeups of clocks) doesn't pay off at all."
