out of time
The tagline reads, "How do you solve a murder when all the evidence points to you?" Well, sit tight--you are about to find out.
Story
Out of Time certainly isn't going to win any screenplay awards with its formulaic premise. Matt Lee Whitlock (Denzel Washington) is the highly respected police chief of a small Florida key near Miami in one of those lazy seaside towns just itching for something exciting to happen. For Matt, excitement comes in the form of the sexy Ann Merai (Sanaa Lathan), his former high school sweetheart who is now stuck in an abusive marriage. Even though the affair they start is torrid, Matt doesn't really love Ann Merai; he's still hung up on his estranged wife Alex (Eva Mendes), a Miami-Dade detective. But when Matt finds out Ann Merai is dying of cancer, he stupidly decides to give her $80K confiscated in a drug bust so she can get treatment at a Swiss clinic. I did say stupid, right? Almost as soon as the money leaves Matt's possession, he finds himself neck-deep in hot water as Ann turns up burned to a crisp in an arson fire, all the money gone and all the evidence pointing to our friendly police chief as the prime suspect. Egad! He's been framed! He's been taken! What ever will he do? True, it sounds very much like every other film noir you've ever seen with chain-smoking gumshoes and femmes fatales. Luckily the tactics Matt uses to keep one step ahead of the investigators, one of which is his beloved Alex, keep the story somewhat interesting.
Aan de hand van de hoes dacht ik een bagger film, maar hij is best goed.
Mooi verhaal met rare twisten er in.
Zelfs een hele leuke rol van Nelix (ja die uit star trek, maar dan zonder costuum).
Tja, wat voor soort film is het???????
beetje thriller, zwendel verhaal.
Wel lekkere wijven btw.
