Out of Time: Critic Reviews

[An] entertainingly deft sleight-of-hand thriller.

Although it is briskly directed and enjoyably stylized, the film is shallow.

Out of Time seems out of another time and place.

It's a great zircon, as big as the Ritz. Smile and enjoy.

A bleakly comic, palm-sweaty hoot.

An overly constructed little thriller that squeezes a fair amount of suspense out of its far-fetched plot.

A highly felicitous comedy of infidelities and busted-up romances.

A solid thriller full of surprises.

Despite its exciting moments the film is marred by contrivance and implausibilities.

Despite some lapses of logic, Out of Time puts the fun back into moviegoing.

A taut bit of business.

[S]uspension 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.

Out of Time doesn't really make sense, but it's fun to watch.

The most purely entertaining thriller since No Way Out.

Out of Time takes its time getting going, but once it finally reaches cruising speed, it moves along nicely.

Soggy at the beginning, silly at the end, but often riveting in between, Out of Time is another Denzel Washington movie that's nowhere near as good as Denzel Washington.

Out of Time? More like Out of Ideas.

Incredible but fun noir.

It's great to see Franklin back in top form.

Franklin is known for being good with actors, but Out Of Time also reveals his flair with machines, which too often dominate the plots of latter-day noirs.

You gotta figure something's wrong when the best part of a Denzel Washington movie is John Billingsley.

A consistent pleasure.

It's a great ride.
