Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

punisherversion1 241: Out of Time. This movie is the pure definition of an page turner thriller. This movie puts Denzel Washington's Florida police chief into a situation that seems to be dragging him further and further down. This situation is something that he does bring on himself. He is cheating on his wife with a high school sweetheart, herself still married to an abusive former football player played by Dean Cain. But after she puts him as the beneficiary on her life insurance and then she and her husband end up dead, the police chief finds himself as the prime suspect. It is definitely a goofy movie. All these reveals come complete with swelling music. Denzel Washington does his best to get ahead of the investigation which is naturally headed up by his wife. Just coincidence after coincidence. Nothing really comes out of left field for this film. You seem everything coming a mile away and the comedic relief medical examiner is too over the top and kind of grates on your nerves. If you like this sort of movie, it's okay but ultimately for me it's just not very good. I give this movie a D.

Lars Lendale ******************* SPOILERS ******************!!!!!!!!!!Out of time/No way Out. The word "out" sounds awfully similar and there are multiple scenes that are taken from No Way Out. First, you can tell the writers loved that movie (and rightfully so, it's a great suspense movie) and decided to inspire themselves to write a sort of same type of movie. That's why when Matthias gets angry and shouts "just do it !!" that same line is copied off Sam, the operator, who shouts to his colleague "just do it !!". Coincidence ? Not so much, I'm telling you, there are so many elements that are copied off No Way Out, it's ridiculous. The chief befriending the medical examiner and admitting him the plot conspiracy, just like in No Way Out, when Tom admits he's the boyfriend in the polaroid and the investigation is a cover up. At the same time Matthias has DEA goons on his back, just like Tom has Death Squad killers following him to the bathroom. AND, most of all, the action takes place in the same day !! Is it a bad movie ? Yes, for too many obvious No Way Out spin offs. Is it entertaining ? Yes, there is suspense, there is an outrageous fight between Denzell and a con who is plotting against him, but the sex scenes are lame, the cast is a B movie cast, Mendes is good but not great, Washington is very good but the movie is really a TV production that doesn't do him justice. OK granted, there are big productions that are as about as cheesy - but the ending, please, seriously ? In 2003 that's what you come up with ? That's a totally unnecessary ending, that is nice for young girls, but it's really not very good. If you have nothing to watch on a week day evening, then watch it, but other than that, it's forgettable.

Cheesus Toast I picked this film out because I tend to find Denzel Washington films to be of high quality. I saw the fairly average score but thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt.I was definitely not let down! At points it may seem a little unrealistic but it real enough (taking into account the story teller's right to stretch reality) to be believed. Denzel is brilliant as usual with his economic style of acting. He does not over dramatize which is something I find intriguing. There were tense moments that were very well played out and comic moments that were carefully inserted. The comic scenes mostly come from John Billingsley who is one of my favorite actors from Star Trek.I am surprised that it has gained such a low score because I found the quality exceptionally good. I am trying to find fault in it to justify why people would rate it so low but I cannot think of many. Maybe some of the comic scenes were a bit cheesy!? This was a gem of a movie and well worth my time.

jb_campo I thought Out of Time was OK, mostly because of Denzel's acting. In this flick, he portrays a local police chief with questionable morals. He drinks on duty, he plays a bit loose with evidence, and then, there's the women in his life.Eva Mendes looks absolutely stunning here. However, I found her a bit miscast as Denzel's soon-to-be ex-wife, now ex-cop, promoted to Detective. I found her unconvincing as a detective, but give her high grades for effort. I think she just lacked the acting skills to keep up with Denzel.On the other hand, the other woman in the story, Sanaa, she was terrific. She portrays Denzel's high school sweetheart, and I guess they split, but now, she's back in his life. She is apparently dying, and Denzel starts feeling sorry for her, and he does things he shouldn't do to help her. then things get out of control and Denzel is trying to stay one step ahead of the investigation while he's trying to figure out what the heck is going on.His medical partner, Chae, John Billingsley, was also terrific. He has Denzel's back at all times, and portrays this likable, but annoying, gadfly-like character who kind of annoys you, but intrigues you at the same time. Chae plays a real important role at many times in this movie, particularly the end.However, despite good acting, the plot is somewhat thin. Since you know that Denzel is innocent, there's no mystery thinking that maybe he is guilty. See the movie, Gone, where at least you were wondering if Amanda Seyfried was crazy or not. Once you knew Denzel was innocent, it wasn't a big leap to figure out who was behind all this mess. So a weak plot spoiled otherwise strong acting and interesting characters.Based on all these factors, I give it a 6 out of 10. Worth a watch, just adjust your expectations to a B grade movie and you'll be fine.
