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.

This generically titled mystery thriller is slow to catch on but holds joyous moments of suspense once it kicks in.

Director-only commentaries tend to be the most interesting and relevant, and this is no exception.

The suspense is killing, but the sense of being in the hands of a skilled storyteller is relaxing, too. Out of Time is a blast without making you work for it.

I have a policy about life insurance policies in movies like this: Don't be the beneficiary. Just don't do it. Nothing good ever comes of it.

A refreshingly great storyline and surprisingly a great Thriller for one of the lesser known Denzel Washington films. The pressure felt by the main character in the movie is portrayed well and felt throughout and provided a constant feeling of frustration of 'if only you'd just ....' Very enjoyable, a great understated Trhiller.
