Nell Minow Common Sense Media Best for older teens and their parents. Rated: 4/5 Dec 26, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Second-rate Hitchcock. Rated: C May 4, 2005 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine Out of Time comes on like a cool glass of lemonade on a hot summer day, featuring Denzel at the peak of his powers and an impeccably laidback aesthetic somewhere between the palpable sweat of Body Heat and the orange-hued romanticism of Tony Scott. Rated: 10/10 Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It works best as a sugar-rush thriller, light and undeniably absurd. But to be honest, that’s a big part of what makes it so much fun. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) The task of keeping this from getting too smart for its own good falls squarely on the dependable shoulders of Washington. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Ujjwal H Zeher 2005 is a hindi movie. I think Zeher 2005 movie made impressing Out of Time 2003. Hmmm that's great. Here's the another prove, Hollywood Movie is Hollywood Movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Jelisije J My least favorite Denzel movie because it was way to predictable for my liking. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Ay D The tension of Denzel being caught out was palatable but bigger than the end twist which became a bit predictable. A highlight being the loyal best friend! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Cha C A criminally underrated movie ... Coherent Screenplay ... Perfect Pace & Outstanding performances Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Bruno V You know that film that doesn't promise anything, but delivers a truly cinema-worthy film? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review PJ M I really enjoyed this movie. It was fast paced, mysterious & kept me on the edge of my seat.
