* HawaiianShirtedTourist: In spite of being law enforcement, Matt, Chae and others are usually seen in these, which given the hot, summer weather down in Florida, may be justified.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Matt and Chae. It may also count as an OddFriendship between the methodical, serious police chief and the quirky, snarky medical examiner.
* HiredToHuntYourself: A variation; Matt, the police chief, had nothing to do with the double murders, but there was lots of incriminating evidence since he was having a secret affair with one of the victims. As a result, he had to find ways to hide the evidence against him from the other cops long enough to figure out what really happened.

''Out Of Time'' is a 2003 Neo-noir thriller that stars Creator/DenzelWashington, Sanaa Lathan, Eva Mendes, Creator/DeanCain and John Billingley.
Matthias "Matt" Whitlock (Washington) is a respected and competent Chief of Police in the Florida Keys town of Banyan Keys. Working alongside his soon-to-be ex-wife, Alex (Mendes), he then gets back in touch and begins seeing his high school sweetheart Ann Merai-Harrison (Lathan), who is in an unhappy marriage to her abusive husband, Chris. After being reacquainted with one another, Matt is horrified to learn that Ann has terminal cancer and in learning this, she bequeaths her life insurance policy of $450,000 on him by naming him the sole benefactor. While trying to help her get her affairs in order before her death, Matt is then shocked to discover that she and her husband have been killed in a house fire and even more shocked to realize that not only was it a double homicide, but that the evidence is gradually pointing to him as the suspect.
!!'''The film features the following tropes:'''
* AgitatedItemStomping: While on the phone with the FBI agents, Matt stomps on the phone in annoyance with them, even giving a ShoutOut to the Verizon ads of "Can you hear me now?"
* BaitAndSwitchGunshot: [[spoiler: As the not-dead Ann has Matt burned after shooting him twice and ready to kill him as he begs for his life, a gunshot then soon goes off, which is delivered by Alex and kills her instead.]]
* ButtMonkey: Chae, the medical examiner, especially in the climax. When attempting to deliver Matt the money, his jalopy promptly breaks down while waiting for a large truck to pass at an intersection. ''Then'' when trying to fix what was wrong with the car, it starts pouring rain. He even looks up towards the heavens and cries out "Come on!"
* ClearMyName: Matt and Chae spend the majority of the film trying to prove the former's innocence of the crimes.
* DomesticAbuser: Chris towards Ann throughout the film. [[spoiler: [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Or so we think...]]]]
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: Ann.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: The FBI agents in general, due to the JurisdictionFriction and having a dismissive opinion of Matt and his small town police department.
* RefugeInAudacity: Many of Matt's methods to deflect suspicion off of him runs on this, such as during the scene where the police and FBI are chasing after him, he's able to flash his police badge and order some of the men pursuing him to chase down the "suspect". Justified as he is the Chief of police and therefore ''very'' intelligent/clever.
* SherlockScan: Alex, who discovers [[spoiler: a small piece of glass in Matt's hair while having a heart-to-heart with him. This leads to her to consider him the true culprit in the homicides.]]
* ShoutOut: During the fight scene in the hotel room, we can hear ''Film/LegallyBlonde'' playing on the television in the background.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Matt and his recently divorced wife, Alex.
