I have seen this movie, and personally I loved it!!! Part of the reason is that I love johnny depp, but that does not mean I am softened by that. I really enjoyed it, and thought that it wasvery enticing, and I worried and got scared every time it showed that clock!!!!!!!!!! i really thought fondly of it.

In the ranks of great real-time movies, may I also suggest “The Set-Up,” starring Robert Ryan and directed by the brilliant Robert Wise? It’s a nifty little slice of noir that plays out almost entirely in real time, about a beaten-down boxer who’s the only one who DOESN’T know that the fight he’s going into is supposed to be rigged against him.

More of an aside, really, but every time someone mentions great Christopher Walken roles, I think of ‘Last Man Standing’, the world’s most awesome gangster western. Walken plays the villain’s “enforcer”, and does it quite well. He also gets the film’s best line. “I don’t want to die in Texas. Chicago, maybe.”

Domino is totally enjoyable if you leave your expectations at the door. Moreso if, like me, will watch nearly anything if Keira Knightley is in it.

When this came out, Johnny Depp said in his movie-plugging interviews that this role was a challenge for him because he had to play a very normal guy, an office-worker and father, and do it believably.

My only complaint with Nick of Time is that they didn’t set it in the 70′s. Practically everything in it cries out to me “70′s political thriller, except for the film stock and those digital clocks.

Of course, Hitchcock’s “Rope” has this movie beat by several decades, but I don’t hold that against it…

I remember this movie! It’s one of dozens I watched while in the hospital while leaving the TV tuned to some superstation or other. Yeah, it was pretty tense.
