Nick of Time is a 1995 American political action thriller film produced and directed by John Badham and written by Patrick Sheane Duncan.

Taking place in real time, the film follows a public accountant who must assassinate a politician in exchange for his kidnapped daughter's freedom.

Gene manages to find a young campaign assistant, Krista Brooks, who believes his story and encourages him to report the matter to the governor's husband, Brendan Grant.

Although skeptical at first of his story, she later notices Brendan act suspiciously about Krista's whereabouts and realizes Gene is telling the truth.

Being hastened by her husband to make a speech, the governor greets supporters in a ballroom when Gene takes out the gun, points it at a projector room where Smith is watching him and shoots at the window.

Thinking that his wife is dead, Brendan openly gloats about the plot's success, only to find out in horror that she had heard everything, confirming her suspicions about him.

Before Jones can get a clear shot at the father and daughter, Huey beats her unconscious with his prosthetic leg and wing tip shoe.

The site's consensus reads: "It isn't the worst '90s action thriller, but by bungling a story pitting Johnny Depp against Christopher Walken, the rote Nick of Time ranks among the most disappointing".
