Nick of Time(1995)A real-time thriller in which an unimpressive, every-day man is forced into a situation where he is told to kill a politician to save his kidnapped daughter. For more about Nick of Time and the Nick of Time Blu-ray release, see Nick of Time Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on February 22, 2022 where this Blu-ray release scored 2.5 out of 5. Director: John Badham Writer: Patrick Sheane Duncan Starring: Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken, Charles S. Dutton, Roma Maffia, Marsha Mason, Peter Strauss Producers: John Badham, D.J. Caruso » See full cast & crew Nick of Time Blu-ray, Video QualityParamount brings Nick of Time to Blu-ray with an OK-ish 1080p transfer that only manages to claw its way up to mid-grade. Like Clockstoppers, Nick of Time can look good at-a-glance but its shortcomings become evident as the viewer looks a little harder. It's not a terrible picture but it's clear that there are some ebbs and flows across a fairly wide spectrum of problems that prevent it from achieving that desirably fresh film-like look. The picture suffers from the odd speckle and fiber and somewhat poor compression at times, revealing some blocky backgrounds, but this is not the image's chief concern. Grain management is almost always questionable. At times it appears overly coarse, clumpy, and chunky rather than fine and organic. In these shots, core textures hold up nicely enough, revealing capable, though hardly noteworthy, core definition and density. At other times, grain appears almost scrubbed away – especially through much of the second half – leaving the image smooth and details far below ideal. The image never looks waxy, but this is far from perfect, and the image frequently can only hover in that "just a bit above an upscaled DVD" level. Colors are not particularly a strength, either. There's fair depth at times and a feel of fading in others. Never does the image just explode with vibrant primaries and intense secondaries. This is a fairly pedestrian color output, which also carries to whites, blacks, and skin tones. This is watchable, but videophiles will wish for something better. Nick of Time Blu-ray, Audio QualityNick of Time features a time-tested DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The 5.1 configuration proves its worth from the outset as a heavy Amtrack train rumbles through the stage, as the breaks squeal and it grinds to a halt outside the station. Various public address announcements and crowd din help better set the scene with impressive immersion into the area. Most of the film's music and action elements are in good working order, all of them lacking the sort of lifelike detail found in the best track but at least presenting with some sense of space and detail, enough to nicely compliment the story and draw the listener into it. There's a fine sense of front-back balance at work. The subwoofer doesn't belt out any prodigious notes but it's more than capable in delivering essential audio cues. Dialogue can be a little shallow. Listen to some of the exchanges in the train station for good examples. Most of the time it's clear enough and well prioritized as it remains more or less grounded in the front-center channel.
