A hugely underrated Christopher Walken thriller movie is on TV tonight

The film takes place mostly in real-time.

The pair hand Watson a gun, order him to kill the state governor within 75 minutes, and threaten to murder his child if he does not comply.

"Smith accompanies Watson to a hotel where the governor is to speak, while Jones holds the girl. As Watson considers his options, the hour to act draws ever nearer," the plot synopsis adds.

Watch the trailer for Nick of Time right here:

Nick of Time was a commercial and critical flop upon release in 1995, and we've never understood why.

The movie boasts a thrilling and fast-paced story, stylish direction by John Badham (Saturday Night Fever, WarGames), and a villain turn for the ages by Walken.
