Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 3.20 out of 4 stars for Slate (David Edelstein)Slate (David Edelstein)
I reckon 90 of the movie's 106 minutes are thriller heaven. The windup, alas, isn't in the same league: Both humdrum and confusingly staged, it pales beside the volcanic climaxes of Franklin's "One False Move" (1992) and "Devil in a Blue ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Slate (David Edelstein)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 3.20 out of 4 stars for Salon.com (Charles Taylor)Salon.com (Charles Taylor)
Starts out as noir, takes a shift into something like deadpan screwball comedy and ends up as a comedy of remarriage. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Salon.com (Charles Taylor)

It's a kick to watch Denzel Washington do a movie just for the hot, sexy fun of it. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 3.00 out of 4 stars for Philadelphia Inquirer (Carrie Rickey)Philadelphia Inquirer (Carrie Rickey)
In the sultry thriller Out of Time, Denzel Washington works to play it cool, even as heat and hormones spike and the noose of anxiety tightens around his neck. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Philadelphia Inquirer (Carrie Rickey)

The more preposterous Out of Time gets, the more enjoyable the movie becomes. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Miami Herald (Rene Rodriguez)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 3.00 out of 4 stars for New York Daily News (Jami Bernard)New York Daily News (Jami Bernard)
The tension of Matt having to work alongside his wife without being able to trust her provides the movie's real electricity, sexual and otherwise. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at New York Daily News (Jami Bernard)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 3.00 out of 4 stars for Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)Chicago Sun-Times (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 the complete Out of Time movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 3.00 out of 4 stars for San Francisco Chronicle (Mick LaSalle)San Francisco Chronicle (Mick LaSalle)
A shrewd thriller that takes the time-honored plot about an innocent man wrongfully accused and gives it a film-noir twist. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at San Francisco Chronicle (Mick LaSalle)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 2.80 out of 4 stars for LA Weekly (Ella Taylor)LA Weekly (Ella Taylor)
The movie is casually, glamorously multiracial, and Washington is great fun, but the final glory belongs to actor John Billingsley, who plays one of those rumpled minor characters plugged into thrillers to keep you guessing whether they're light relief ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at LA Weekly (Ella Taylor)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 2.80 out of 4 stars for Village Voice (Scott Foundas)Village Voice (Scott Foundas)
In apparent atonement for whatever wayward thinking led him down the Freeman-Judd path, Franklin has transformed Out of Time into a highly felicitous comedy of infidelities and busted-up romances. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Village Voice (Scott Foundas)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 2.80 out of 4 stars for Washington Post (Stephen Hunter)Washington Post (Stephen Hunter)
Until that sugar coating at the end, Out of Time is clever, believable and gripping, and seems to be headed to a wondrous, bad place as it carefully modulates classic '40s themes. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Washington Post (Stephen Hunter)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 2.80 out of 4 stars for Los Angeles Times (Manohla Dargis)Los Angeles Times (Manohla Dargis)
There's something about the movie that sets it apart from the usual thriller. Franklin may not be a master of genre like Hammett and Chandler, but he knows that it means SOMETHING when a character throws a punch or fires a gun. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Los Angeles Times (Manohla Dargis)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 2.68 out of 4 stars for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Paula Nechak)Seattle Post-Intelligencer (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 the complete Out of Time movie review at Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Paula Nechak)
Out of Time (2003) scores a combined 2.52 out of 4 stars for Boston Globe (Ty Burr)Boston Globe (Ty Burr)
An overly constructed little thriller that squeezes a fair amount of suspense out of its far-fetched plot. ...read the complete Out of Time movie review at Boston Globe (Ty Burr)
