Chicago Tribune
It's a twisty, hell-for-leather crime thriller, and director Carl Franklin gives it all the slick, modern trimmings. - 83
Entertainment Weekly
Entertainingly deft sleight-of-hand thriller. - 70
Village Voice
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. - 70
L.A. Weekly
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 or something more sinister, and who, in a few memorably funny scenes, shuffles away with the movie. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Cross "Body Heat" with "No Way Out" and you wind up with Out of Time, a slick crime melodrama with more style than substance. - 60
Variety
A tasty if wildly far-fetched thriller, Out of Time proves far stronger in its characterizations than in developing genuine suspense. - 60
Dallas Observer
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. - 50
New York Magazine (Vulture)
A crime thriller that is strong on sultry atmosphere--you practically break into a sweat watching it--but weak on believability.
