Advantages: Eva Mendes, some nice action sequences, suspense Disadvantages: Slight tedium, I got sick of watching it after awhile
So here we have a mysterious thriller. Not my favorite genre to start with, but ho hey I watched it anyway. The story involves a police officer Matthias Whitlock (Denzel Washington), Matthias had been having an affair with a married woman who ends up having her house burnt down just after making him the beneficiary of her life insurance policy. As Matthias realises how this looks coupled with the facthe had actually been at the house the night of the fire he tries to conceal all evidence of his ever knowing the woman.
However, his ex-wife (Eva Mendes) happens to be called in to take charge of the case (nothing is ever smple with hollywood) and he has to work against time in a variety of high pressure tasks to make sure she doesn't catch his scent. Things don't turn out to be as simple as that (if you can call that simple) Denzel ...

Review
"...TIME OUT is not just an especially subtle and thoughtful psychological drama, it's a provocative, even an unnerving one as well..." (Los Angeles Times, p.C1, 12/04/2002)
"...[A] leisurely film....Mr. Recoing's performance is a sensitive portrayal of a man in the throes of an excruciating spiritual crisis....TIME OUT is entrancingly beautiful..." (New York Times, p.E24, 29/03/2002)
"...TIME OUT is as timely and wrenching a film as you'll find anywhere in these dog days of corporate downsizing....Recoing gives a performance that won't soon be forgotten. Neither will TIME OUT. It's a great movie..." (Rolling Stone, p.84, 25/04/2002)
"...[Livrozet] exudes a relaxed ironic charm..." (Sight and Sound, p.44-5, 01/04/2002)
"...Cantet elicits a superb central performance from the gentle, chameleonic Recoing....An understated treat..." (Total Film, p.104, 01/05/2002)
DVD Description
Vincent (Aurelien Recoing) spends a lot of time in his car. He sleeps in his car sometimes, parked in highway truck stops where buses full of school children pass through during the daytime, and at night stragglers lost en route stop to drink and tell their stories. Having been fired from his job over a month ago, he is a man running from the truth. Unable to admit his unemployed status to his family, he goes to great lengths to convince his wife and three young children that he spends busy days hard at work. He makes phone calls home talking of meetings and appointments, then returns home complaining of fatigue from being overworked. In fact, he drives around a lot, meanders in and out of office buildings, picks up pieces of information and pages through vague research that does not seem to be part of any cohesive goal or plan. The menacing part of it all is that the closer we get to Vincent, the more he seems to convince himself, and us, that he's telling the truth. And the resulting psychological trickery is positively creepy. This French mystery from director Laurent Cantet (HUMAN RESOURCES) carries an eerie chill that seems inexplicable. While the story seems simple enough, Vincent's lies and the way that he manipulates people--especially his family--are expertly conveyed with cold, steady camerawork and a beguiling performance from Recoing.
A "Grimm-er" Live Action (PG) Take on This Classic Brothers Grimm Tale, Directed by the Screenwriter/Co-Author of Edward Scissorhands (Caroline Thompson)
Possibly Not Suitable for Younger Children (not Disney Animation "Pretty-Pretty" version) - Miranda Richardson dominates the action and steals the show as the stepmother. (*)
