"Denzel Washington's newest thriller is a lackluster piece; it's all been done before, and far better by others."
EDGE Boston
David Foucher
3/4
"Washington's performance -- and the clever manipulations of the script (by David Collard) -- keeps
Out of Time
taut and credible."
Movie Boeuf
David N. Butterworth
3.5/4
"...tremendously entertaining throughout..."
Reel Film Reviews

C
"Out of time simply ran out of sense for it to be more than another disposable pic."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
6/10
"Franklin seems to be aware that the audience knows what is going to happen."
Draxblog Movie Reviews
Dragan Antulov
2/4
"The film never digs beyond its skin-deep roots."

Dustin Putman
2.5/4
"
Out of Time
is no less inconsequential than
Matchstick Men
but works hard to make the audience part of its con and not a victim of it."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B-
"It's perfectly good as a mystery-thriller, I suppose, but it could have been so much more."

Eric D. Snider
B
"Knows how to have fun, and isn't afraid of breaking some plausibility rules to do it."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
2/4
"...the dreary formulaic plot supported by scattered pedestrian performances doesn’t reinforce the distinctive urgency and edginess this uneven crime caper valiantly tries to promote."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
C+
"Just not smart enough to allow one to swallow all the coincidences and contrivances on the way to its disappointingly predictable conclusion."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"
Out of Time
is a generic thriller with nary a surprise in store for the experienced film noir viewer."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2/5
"Florida noir reteams Devil in a Blue Dress's director and star -- with less intriguing results."
Netflix
James Rocchi
3.5/4
"A roller-coaster ride of a thriller, steeped in suspense and the kind of hair-raising twists that have gone the way of quick gratification filmmaking."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
7/10
"Gets a lot of mileage from its specialty, which happens to be the close call."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
1.5/5
"Washington looks deeply strained and sapped of vitality."
ToxicUniverse.com
Jeremiah Kipp
7/10
"More exciting than smart or chic or witty,
Out of Time
is relaxing, delightfully old-fashioned entertainment."

3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
"If you base your decision on the poster, you will miss a fairly inventive, atmospheric and endearing movie that is never anything less than adequately entertaining."
FilmStew.com
Larry Carroll
B
"If you're willing to forgive some unlikely scenarios,
Out of Time
is cracking good fun"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2.5/5
"Slick but ludicrously contrived."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
3/4
"We laugh at each new twist and turn, but we're also fascinated by how the hero will get himself out of each new dilemma."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
2.5/4
"It's still not original or artistic, but it's effective at getting your blood pumping"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
"[A]
Double Indemnity
for the 21st century..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
B+
"Lathan and Mendes are both exceptionally fine, and Cain is nicely creepy and menacing. Wisecracking sidekick Billingsly gives his line readings a deliciously offbeat spin."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
C
"Second-rate Hitchcock."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
3/5
"O roteiro acaba negligenciando um aspecto que deveria ser importante para o herói: a inteligência."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
"At no point do any of the characters ever behave like human beings and this is because they aren’t-they are merely ciphers who do stupid things because it is the only way that screenwriter Dave Collard could move his absurd tale along from point A to poin"
Critic Doctor
Peter Sobczynski
2/5
"Franklin's direction is blandly by the book; we know all the plot holes will be ignored, and that there will be a simplistic resolution."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
C+
"Entertaining enough if you don't get picky about the details."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B-
"a well-made, well-acted and entertaining suspense story that works more often than not."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
2.5/5
"After a while, you start to realize there are only so many grains of salt we can swallow to help a sultry suspense picture like this go down."
Filmcritic.com
Sean O'Connell
2.5/4
"Only good enough to remind of the kind of filmmaker that Franklin has been and, hope springing eternal, could be again."
