Nick of Time (1995)

Synopsis: A man is blackmailed into killing a politician, or else his daughter will be killed.

Appraisal: Very well filmed suspense story. It's really worthwhile to watch a movie in which every filmic resource is used to greatest effect, even though it is obvious that the plot per se, although not unmeritorious, has modest ambitions. 24 (the TV series) has the same central situation, in its first season (2001). Red Eye (2005) is a variation.

Rating: 56
