In
Banyan Key, a small Florida town, Chief of Police Matt Whitlock
finds himself caught in the eye of a storm. Investigating
the murder of a woman he was having an affair with, Whitlock
soon realises that all the evidence points to him being the
murderer. Now the race is on for him to erase the trail of
incriminating evidence that leads back to him before the FBI
track him down...
Out
of Time is an above average thriller which stars Denzel
Washington as chief of police of a small town in Florida.
Whitlock's ex-wife is brought in to head up the main investigation
and staying one step ahead of her is not that easy a task.
The
film also stars two actors who are better know for sci-fi
roles - Dean (The New Adventures of Superman) Cain
and John (Enterprise) Billingsley who turn in fantastic
performances. Billingsley is a comic genius and his portrayal
of Whitlock's friend and professional associate is spot on.
Dean Cain has put on a few years (and pounds) since his Superman
days and is almost unrecognisable as the wife beating villain
of the piece.
There
are plenty of twists and turns to keep you on the edge of
your seat (including a rather unexpected revelation at the
end) for the duration. I did get the feeling the director
was over egging some of his clues for a stupid audience. For
example there is a scene in a surgery where a doctor puts
his pen back on its stand in the middle of his desk. Then
we are shown a long cut scene of the pen. At the time there
is no reason for the shot and it looks out of place. It's
like we are being shouted at: "Look! The pen will appear
again! Remember the pen!" This seemed a little unnecessary
and rather insulting to the audience.
Extras
on the disc include audio commentary; Out of Time: Crime
Scene.; outtakes (two rather dull ones); character profiles;
screen tests; photo gallery; and theatrical trailer.
A
neatly constructed movie that doesn't disappoint.
