Nick of Time (1995)
3/10
Astoundingly dumb in every possible way

Warning: Spoilers
Don't waste your time, really. And ignore the reviews that talk about the clever plot points in the second half - these people must be mentally incapacitated to have enjoyed this shambles. I foolishly gave it a chance after the first fifteen minutes, wondering if some semblance of thrill may emerge as the film progresses. It does not. It ended up being 90 minutes of me shouting "just shoot him!" at the screen.

Tip: if you blackmail someone, don't give them a loaded gun. This ludicrous plot could have been wrapped up in the first ten minutes if Johnny Depp's character had just shot Christopher Walken's character at the beginning, rather than spend an hour and a half faffing about in some of the most comically desperate set-pieces I've ever seen. Spoiler alert, in the end, he shoots him. And then that's the end of the film.
