Matt Whitlock, the police chief of the small town of Banyan Key, Florida, is separated from his wife, Alex, a police homicide detective in MIami. Matt's been having an affair with Ann Merai Harrison, a woman who's separated from her abusive husband, Chris, and says she has cancer, as well. When her doctor tells her of a new expensive treatment, Matt decides to give her the nearly half a million dollars in an evidence lock up that he seized from a local drug bust. When Ann and her husband turn up dead only days after naming Chief Whitlock as beneficiary on a million dollar Life insurance policy, things start heating up for Whitlock as the evidence his wife Alex is gathering stacks up against him. And as if things couldn't get worse, the D.E.A. now want the drug money a.s.a.p. Anxiety runs high for Whitlock as he scrambles to figure out who has set him up and also recover half a million dollars all while trying not to break a sweat or draw any suspicions. He's a man who is way out of his depth, nearly out of luck, and desperately close to being out of time.

| KBTV-NBC (Beaumont, TX)Danny MintonThis is an average movie for an above average actor. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIt's a twisty, hell-for-leather crime thriller, and director Carl Franklin gives it all the slick, modern trimmings. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.In spite of decent performances from the main cast, Carl Franklin's thriller is listless and very weak. |
| Draxblog Movie ReviewsDragan AntulovFranklin seems to be aware that the audience knows what is going to happen. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganCarefully crafted and acted, Out of Time is an enjoyable but hardly compelling thriller that could have used a little more tension. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainingly deft sleight-of-hand thriller. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiDenzel Washington has never made better use of his screen persona than he does in Out of Time, a slick crime thriller from director Carl Franklin. |
| Salon.comCharles TaylorStarts out as noir, takes a shift into something like deadpan screwball comedy and ends up as a comedy of remarriage. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternI 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 Dress." |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezThe more preposterous Out of Time gets, the more enjoyable the movie becomes. |
