Nothing to Lose

About This Movie

Nothing to Lose is a curious blend of action, comedy, and a touch of absurdity. You’ve got Tim Robbins as Nick, who’s not just dealing with betrayal but also stumbling into a wild escapade with Martin Lawrence’s hapless criminal. Their chemistry is what really drives the film; it’s chaotic but has some genuine laughs. The pacing is a bit uneven, especially in the middle, but the absurd situations keep it engaging. The practical effects in the car chases have a certain charm, and Steve Oedekerk's direction adds a quirky vibe that complements the offbeat humor. It’s a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is refreshing. Definitely one for those who appreciate a mix of genres without the usual formula.

Released on DVD in 1998, with a later Blu-ray in 2016. · Steve Oedekerk also wrote and produced the film. · Filmed primarily in Los Angeles, capturing the city’s vibe.
