Nicky embodies Chris Angel. He can see exactly 120 seconds into the future, no more no less. Julianne Moore basically plays Sculley trying to put caps and metrics on Nicky’s visions. And I think tries to use him to save the world?
He really only used his super power to become a Vegas magician, and not like a good one, like a Fremont Street one. And also to win fist fights in Denny’s (jealous!) once or twice.
The FBI puts a clairvoyant on payroll. Jessica Biel is in it and also Columbo. Plus Nicky has some really cool hair in this one.
Nic to a seemingly competent FBI agent while looking at a map:
If you be quiet and do exactly what I say, I’ll save your life.
