SmashvilleFan's MovieNerd Review for Nothing to Lose

Nothing to Lose

Movie

1997

Nothing to Lose is one of the funniest “buddy” movies of the 1990’s, with a strong acting performance by Tim Robbins in the lead role. Co-star Martin Lawrence, in peak comedic form, plays an unlikely sidekick. Down on their luck, the two men team up to orchestrate a bold heist that will change their fortunes in unexpected ways. The film is a fun, hilarious journey…a must watch for comedy lovers who can handle some crude humor and plenty of profanity. It has a great score, with an especially perfect use of Scatman in one of the movie’s best scenes.
