Reviews for Out of Time
The sure-handed direction of Carl Franklin...makes a complex story both lucid and believable.
10/02/03
Knows how to have fun, and isn't afraid of breaking some plausibility rules to do it.
10/02/03
A blah title for a surprisingly taut, energetic film, which just begs to be called Run Denzel Run.
10/02/03
Lathan and Mendes are both exceptionally fine, and Cain is nicely creepy and menacing. Wisecracking sidekick Billingsly gives his line readings a deliciously offbeat spin.
10/02/03
Gripping crime thriller that reunites Devil in a Blue Dress star Denzel Washington with director Carl Franklin and, in many ways, reinvents the genre.
10/02/03
Although it is briskly directed and enjoyably stylized, the film is shallow.
10/02/03
Top CriticDespite the standard-issue ingredients -- the palm trees, the femme fatale, the dirty money -- there's something about the movie that sets it apart from the usual thriller.
10/02/03
Top CriticDespite some lapses of logic, Out of Time puts the fun back into moviegoing.
10/02/03
A serviceable picture, but hardly a top-notch vehicle for Washington's remarkable gifts.
10/02/03
Screenwriter Dave Collard doesn't give the movie much of an ending -- the story's rough edges are miraculously smoothed over, thanks to some fortuitous personality changes -- but most of "Time" is enjoyably taut...

Out of Time doesn't really make sense, but it's fun to watch.
10/02/03
Out of Time takes its time getting going, but once it finally reaches cruising speed, it moves along nicely.
10/02/03
At its best, Franklin's work is stylish and headily atmospheric.
10/02/03
[An] entertainingly deft sleight-of-hand thriller.
10/02/03
The ending is several shades too blanc for true noir, but director Carl Franklin leads us through a satisfying labyrinth of easy corruption and hard consequences.
10/02/03
Despite being entirely unrealistic, this is a mildly entertaining movie thanks to its breezy tone and a cast that seems to be having a good time.
10/02/03
A throwaway thriller with some crowd-pleasing qualities.
10/02/03
Denzel has made better pictures.
10/02/03
Just not smart enough to allow one to swallow all the coincidences and contrivances on the way to its disappointingly predictable conclusion.
