Partly inspired by 1948's The Big Clock and its nominal 1987 remake No Way Out, the Denzel Washington thriller Out of Time is quite enjoyable if you ignore its implausible plotting. Like those earlier films, this reunion of Washington and his Devil in a Blue Dress director Carl Franklin is about a man--in this case the police chief (Washington) of sleepy Banyan Key, Florida--who falls into a trap set by others, sinks into legal quicksand of his own making, and must race the clock to extricate himself from a series of incriminating setbacks. The Florida setting adds welcome character to the potboiler plot, and Washington's screen-cred makes it easy to overlook the absurdities of rookie writer David Collard's screenplay. Eva Mendes is sharp and sensible as Washington's estranged wife (do you think they'll reconcile for a happy ending?), and the talented John Billingsley--whose portrayal of "Dr. Phlox" on TV's Enterprise is vastly underrated--is a constant delight as Washington's medical examiner, beer buddy and wily co-conspirator. It's hardly a classic, but Out of Time goes well with a big tub of popcorn. --Jeff Shannon

 Out of Time January 3, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Suppose everything you knew--everything you trusted --became a lie. For Matt Lee Whitlock, that nightmare has become a reality.Matt is the chief of police in small Banyan Key, Florida. A hardworking man who's good at his job, he's respected by his peers and beloved by his community. Out of Time is a keeper, a sharp slice of crackling intrigue.
 Good Film December 14, 2009
Willy D. Reviewer (San Francisco,CA)
This film is a must for all of you Denzel fans.
Good plot, excellent casting, and good action sequences.
And the ending keeps you on the edge of your chair because Denzel is "Out of Time".
Buy used.
 Decent, but not great December 2, 2009

This movie starts out pretty slow and feels like it's dragging. About the middle of the movie, things start to make sense and you realize what kind of trouble Denzel's character has gotten himself into. Unlike the other reviewer, I did not find it predictable. At the same time, I didn't find this movie at all what I expected. The cover art only represents a few seconds of the movie. It's a good movie, but not great. I would have given it another star if it was about 15 or 20 minutes shorter as this would have increased the pace/intensity. The blu-ray transfer was also good, but again, nothing great. In sum, I could watch it a few times, but it is not so great that you could watch it many times.
Excellent but eventually predictable October 26, 2009

Denzel Washington turns in his typically exceptional performance, and the story has plenty of twists and turns, but in the end it becomes predictable . . . like the author ran out of steam before that one, last uphill pull.
A Hit For Washington October 4, 2009
drkhimxz (Freehold, NJ, USA)
I have no idea how well the film did at the box-office, but at home, watched via DVD and TV monitor, it was certainly a hit in my living room. Washington is at the center at all times even when he is not actually on screen. Its all for the best since his good-humored lusty young police chief unifies the plot and action providing the golden thread which holds the whole thing together. There is an adequate degree of suspense, a good deal of anything but straitlaced straight arrow behavior, and a good assortment of featured players for him to negotiate with, but in the end it is Washington's show. It is due to him that what might have been a hokey third rate cop in the hole show or a cheap lusty cop in bed and out sexpot ill-tasting stew, is turned into an almost James Garner can of humor-suspense-at heart good natured action film...with the barest minimum of shoot-'em-up bloodletting. I liked this one and I am pretty sure most of you would like it too.
