Critic Reviews

Michael Wilmington

It's a twisty, hell-for-leather crime thriller, and director Carl Franklin gives it all the slick, modern trimmings. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

Mr. Franklin has always been easy with quicksilver moods -- and Mr. Washington is terrifically appealing as a fool for love who loses his cool as he learns about fear.

Roger Ebert

Suspension of disbelief, always necessary in a thriller, is required here in wholesale quantities. But in a movie like Out of Time I'm not looking for realism, I'm looking for a sense of style brought to genre material. Read full review

Paula Nechak

Although budding star Mendes and Washington sparked in "Training Day," there's less chemistry between them this time as she glowers and frets in her role as a big-city cop. Read full review

Dallas Observer Robert Wilonsky

Kind of meaningless--a thriller with delights that wear off before the credits even roll, a movie you might have watched on cable some Saturday afternoon and decided you didn't really waste that much time. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Disappointing, but barely watchable. Read full review

Scott Russon

Another thriller absent of any real thrills. Read full review

Out of Time may deliver headaches to users, but you got to admit, something's pretty suspicious is going on with this movie and only you can guess what's going on.

Make sure to stay in your seats for this one, because even though that first act drags a bit, by the time you hit act two -- trust me -- all is forgiven.

"Out Of Time's" final two-thirds is a dramatically ironic, tense, and thrilling ride that honestly kept me guessing for a good portion of it. Denzel Washington's increasingly frantic and dynamic lead performance helps keep you anchored to your chair as each new plot twist and near miss keeps you salivating for more. Director Carl Franklin and screenwriter David Collard have honestly killed with this fun little detective romp that didn't come anywhere close to overstaying its welcome. A surprisingly good time overall.… Expand

Out of Time...wow, I guess this movie has not aged well at all. This movie could honestly be titled "Chief Whitlock and the Quest for Blowies" because this character that Denzel plays is such a degenerate, but the movie has a fun and light-hearted air that really makes it border onOut of Time...wow, I guess this movie has not aged well at all. This movie could honestly be titled "Chief Whitlock and the Quest for Blowies" because this character that Denzel plays is such a degenerate, but the movie has a fun and light-hearted air that really makes it border on "So-Bad-It's-Good" territory. For example, why does every man dress like a middle-aged white suburban dad? And why is this archetype suddenly the pinnacle of sexuality and masculinity? Seriously, DENZEL as the CHIEF OF POLICE wears those white shorts, tall socks, NewBalance shoes, and a big T-Shirt with a ball cap. He looks like he is going to mow his lawn on a Sunday morning, and every girl cannot resist him! The movie does have some nice moments, but it's ultimately forgettable.… Expand

Not totally bad, but can not get over its shortcomings, and at the end feels like a generic thriller, which had some good moments, and a better cast.

Other than Denzel the actors really sucked. I mean they were bad, really bad. I can't believe he associated his name with this cast of misfits.
