 Several critics are suggesting that Out of Time is a whole lot better than the movie trailers and TV ads make it appear. Joe Morgenstern in the Wall Street Journal observes: "Sometimes the slightly shopworn strands of classic thrillers can be rewoven into stylish forms that feel new. That's the case with Out of Time." Philip Wuntch in the Dallas Morning News also suggests that the plot of the movie is formulaic and pure pulp, but he adds: "Out of Time proves again that pulp can be drenched in beautiful colors and tropical flavors. ... Despite some lapses of logic, [it] puts the fun back into moviegoing." Jami Bernard in the New York Daily News calls the film "a solid thriller full of surprises that, like baseball, is a game of inches." |
