Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review The Denzel Washington thriller IOut of Time/I is quite enjoyable if you ignore its implausible plotting. Partly inspired by 1948's IThe Big Clock/I and its nominal 1987 remake INo Way Out/I, this reunion of Washington and his IDevil in a Blue Dress/I director Carl Franklin is about a man--in this case the police chief (Washington) of sleepy Banyan Key, Florida--who falls into a trap set by others, sinks into legal quicksand of his own making, and must race the clock to extricate himself from a series of incriminating setbacks. The Florida setting adds welcome character to the pot-boiler plot, and Washington's screen credibility makes it easy to overlook the absurdities of rookie writer David Collard's screenplay. Eva Mendes is sharp and sensible as Washington's estranged wife (do you think they'll reconcile for a happy ending?), and the talented John Billingsley--whose portrayal of Dr Phlox on TV's IEnterprise/I is vastly underrated--is a constant delight as Washington's medical examiner, beer buddy and wily co-conspirator. --IJeff Shannon/I

Ghosh (Calcutta India) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This film looked as if it could be fantastically corny and uniteresting, however when I went to see it I thought it was a genuinly brilliant thriller. Denzil Washington plays a chief of police in a small area in Florida. However he falls foul of an eleborate scheme to frame him as a murderer and run away with a large amount of money. In the midst of this, Denzil and his wife are splitting up even though Denzil still loves her. This leads to a brilliant finale. This film keeps you on the edge of your seat as your never quite sure whats going to happen next, and the plot twists and turns so much it's almost comical. The acting is superb as is the storyline. This is a film you simply must buy on DVD!!! GREAT FILM October 26, 2006 Henrey Charles #34;Mercury#34; (Surrey, England) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful A must have in any DVD collection.

But when Banyan Key is shocked by a double homicide, everything Matt thought he knew starts to unravel, and he finds himself in a race agiasnt time to solve the murders before he himself falls under suspicion. In order to find out the truth, he has to stay a few steps ahead of his own police force and everyone he's trusted. A well-performed, creatively startling noir thriller, steeped in suspense and full of twists. "A BRILLIANT TWIST" August 5, 2007 L. Wilson (Natal South Africa) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful If you want to know what happens, read the synopsis, better still watch the movie. It is not a fast paced film considering the title but it has got fantastic edge of the seat stuff as the story unfolds. I have watched it a couple of times and I will again and even though I know the ending it is still a very enjoyable thriller that is one of D.W.`S better films. Well done movie with a formulaic plot May 7, 2004 Sebastian Fernandez (Tampa, Florida United States) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful After the basic setting for the movie is presented one is afraid that it will become predictable and boring. Nevertheless, it succeeds in providing enough suspense and subtle plot twists that keep the rhythm going and the interest of the audience alive.pDenzel Washington plays Matt Whitlock, a police chief in Banyan Keys, FL who has been abandoned by his wife recently and is involved in a relationship with Ann, a married woman. Everything goes well until Matt finds out that Ann has cancer, which was in remission but has come back with a vengeance and she has only six months left to live. The only option to prevent this is to try experimental procedures that are extremely expensive. In the meantime, Ann finds out that her husband has increased the life policy they had bought for her to $1,000,000. The final piece of the story is that Matt made a bust of a drug dealer and has $485,000 sequestered for evidence in the safe in his office.pIn this setting, one imagines that the story will develop according to one of the usual formulas, and it surely does. The movie, however, is very well done, with passages of high intensity and great performances, which compensate in part for the plot "defects". One final aspect that I liked is the photography; I usually do not expect to find high quality in this area in a thriller, but in this case the scenery makes this task easy to accomplish. Evidently, this movie is not a masterpiece, but it will serve it purpose if you are looking to relax and have a good time. Showing reviews 1-5 of 14 1 2 3 Next »
