The Big Picture The noir genre first grew to prominence in the 1950s, with stars like Humphrey Bogart and Orson Welles epitomizing the morally ambiguous protagonists that were essential to these early mystery films. It became interesting to see how the genre evolved and modernized within the subsequent years, but Carl Franklin’s 1995 masterpiece Devil in a Blue Dress felt like a deliberate throwback.
Out of Time A Florida police chief must solve a vicious double homicide before he himself falls under suspicion. As any seasoned crime movie buff would expect, Matt’s act of seeming kindness has dramatic repercussions, as he realizes that the stolen cash is wrapped up in a drug deal gone wrong. Matt ends up exposing a deeper conspiracy that ties corrupt cops to a local ring of dealers. Out of Time draws from the influence of Alfred Hitchcock in showing a good man caught in over his head, which certainly makes Matt a more vulnerable character.
