Overall "Untraceable" is not a bad flick nothing great,

Overall "Untraceable" is not a bad flick nothing great, yet it's enjoyable and does hold interest by making us aware of the web crime and hacking identity problem.

I'd like to know whether "a bad flick" is in apposition with "nothing great."
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have extracted some from the one of reviews of the movie Untraceable" on IMDB

Then the extract is mispunctuated at the source. I suppose any of a comma, semicolon, colon or full stop could follow 'flick'. In the first case, the appositive would be 'nothing great'.

Well, what do you think? Some sort of verbless clause, I suppose.
