How do you solve a murder when all the evidence points to you? Suppose everything you knew – everything you trusted – became a lie. For Matt Lee Whitlock, that nightmare has become a reality. Matt (Denzel Washington) 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. But when Banyan Key is shocked by a brutal double homicide, Matt starts his investigation – and his life starts to unravel. As details of the case begin to surface, all of the evidence points to Matt as the prime suspect. Now with the investigation in full swing and several people working the case, Matt finds himself in a race against time to solve the murders before others uncover the clues he’s finding and he himself falls under suspicion. He has to stay a few steps ahead of his own police force and everyone he’s trusted in order to clear his name and uncover the horrifying truth. As the film’s intricate storyline twists and turns, speeding towards its explosive climactic confrontation, it becomes all too apparent that the truth is on Matt’s side – time, however, is not. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures presents two-time Academy Award®-winner Denzel Washington in the suspenseful thriller Out of Time, an Original Film, Monarch Pictures production. Directed by Carl Franklin from a script by Dave Collard, the film also stars Eva Mendes, Sanaa Lathan, and Dean Cain. Out of Time was produced by Neal H. Moritz and Jesse B’Franklin, with Kevin Reidy, Damien Saccani, Jon Berg, and Alex Gartner as executive producers. The talented roster of filmmakers includes director of photography Theo Van De Sande, production designer Paul Peters, editor Carole Kravetz Aykanian, costume designer Sharen Davis, and composer Graeme Revell.

More exciting than smart or chic or witty, Out of Time is relaxing, delightfully old-fashioned entertainment.

Denzel Washington has never made better use of his screen persona than he does in Out of Time, a slick crime thriller from director Carl Franklin.

Director Carl Franklin previously worked with Washington in the criminally overlooked Devil in a Blue Dress, and he gets a solid performance out of him here again.

Washington looks deeply strained and sapped of vitality.

It’s funny that this movie was called “Out of Time” because it sure seemed like some scenes had plenty of time to drag.

Without Denzel Washington's charm — the cocked head, the sly, toothy grin and eyes that scream 'trust me' — a thriller as lame and preposterous as 'Out of Time' would just sink back into the lethargic swamp of sweat-soaked neo-noir that seems to seep in e

a well-made, well-acted and entertaining suspense story that works more often than not.

...the dreary formulaic plot supported by scattered pedestrian performances doesn’t reinforce the distinctive urgency and edginess this uneven crime caper valiantly tries to promote.

We laugh at each new twist and turn, but we're also fascinated by how the hero will get himself out of each new dilemma.

An implausible but still awfully fun noirish pot-boiler.
