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.

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.

It's a kick to watch Denzel Washington do a movie just for the hot, sexy fun of it.

Out of Time is probably Hollywood's most seamless suspense trap since The Fugitive.

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

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

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.

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

What little mystery finds its way onto the screen isn't much of a mystery at all. By Act 2, we know who did what to whom and why.
