Reviews by Score:
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 the complete Out of Time movie review at Dallas Observer (Robert Wilonsky)
The Hollywood Reporter (Kirk Honeycutt)
Cross "Body Heat" with "No Way Out" and you wind up with Out of Time, a slick crime melodrama with more style than substance. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at The Hollywood Reporter (Kirk Honeycutt)
Variety (Todd McCarthy)
A tasty if wildly far-fetched thriller, Out of Time proves far stronger in its characterizations than in developing genuine suspense. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Variety (Todd McCarthy)
Chicago Reader (J.R. Jones)
I guessed the big plot twist as soon as Franklin began setting it up, which gave me a good 40 minutes to appreciate the fine supporting cast and weathered coastal Florida locations while waiting for Washington's character to catch up with me. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Chicago Reader (J.R. Jones)
Portland Oregonian (Shawn Levy)
Washington makes it fun, which is about the best it could hope for. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Portland Oregonian (Shawn Levy)
Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)
Except for Sanaa Lathan, who sears the screen in a brief appearance, director Carl Franklin and his cast seem to realize they're making a second-tier thriller. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)
The Onion (A.V. Club) (Noel Murray)
The two of them (Washington/Mendez) together, playing police-procedural dodgeball, make for a good movie. Too bad there are other people on the team, and that the pre-game show runs so long. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at The Onion (A.V. Club) (Noel Murray)
USA Today (Claudia Puig)
Out of Time seems out of another time and place. Remember "Presumed ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at USA Today (Claudia Puig)
The New York Times (Elvis Mitchell)
Although it is briskly directed and enjoyably stylized, the film is shallow -- but empty. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at The New York Times (Elvis Mitchell)
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)
Out of Time is severely out of whack, and the problem isn't hard to locate: It's all that flab in the thriller. It's a suspense flick so pillowy soft that the star gets bumped from the centre of the frame and the comic relief sneaks in to swipe the ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)
Empire (Scott Russon)
Another thriller absent of any real thrills. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Empire (Scott Russon)
TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
Dave Collard's preposterous script relies heavily on fortuitous coincidence... and thoroughly stupid behavior. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
