NICK NOLTE: NO EXIT has an inspired format - instead of hiring a stern, scathing interviewer to get to the bottom of Nick Nolte, Tom Thurman asked Nolte to be the questioner, as well as the weary man trying to answer the endless riddles that can get in the way of being Nick. So it's Q&A with a vengeance, Old Nick and Young Nick. All of a sudden, the stale conventions of celebrity interview fall away and we realize that in any worthwhile actor's mind there is always a running discourse like this - savage, scornful, funny, hopeful, and touching. ~David Thomson
