Nov 20, 2018 - BET Networks announces new political thriller 'RUNNING OUT OF TIME' premiering Saturday, December 1 at 8 PM ET/PT on BET and BET Her. Newly widowed Brenda Harper, played by Tasha Smith, and her family are taken hostage over a deep secret from her late husband's past. Just finished reading the book Running out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix which is about a village in the 1840s that turns out to be a historical preserve and the children don't know it's actually 1996. When an epidemic of diphtheria breaks out a young girl has to escape into the modern world to get help.
Anxiety runs high for Whitlock as he scrambles to figure out who has set him up and also recover half a million dollars all while trying not to break a sweat or draw any suspicions. He's a man who is way out of. Goofs (at around 30 mins) After the scene where Matt and a Chris have a beer, Matt meets Ann as a thunderstorm brews in the distance over the water. She apologizes for the previous night when Matt witness Chris abusing her says that he must me mad and draws near him.
Just after Matt playfully touches her face you can see that he says something that was edited out. Her reaction after a camera change is a slight laugh, which confirms he said something. It appears as though he says 'That's right' after she says 'You must really be mad at me.' Matt Lee Whitlock (Denzel Washington) is the police chief of Florida small town Banyan Key.
He just cracked a big drug case confiscating $450k. He's getting divorced from fellow police officer Alex (Eva Mendes) and having an affair with Anne Merai Harrison (Sanaa Lathan) who is separated from violent husband Chris (Dean Cain). Anne has just been diagnosed with cancer, and Matt takes the $450k for Anne's treatment. However, the money, Anne and Chris all burnt up in a suspicious fire. This has a great noir sweaty style. Matt's questionable morality is interesting. I prefer his problems be forced upon him.
However most of his problems are self-inflicted by his lack of judgment. There is a lot of things that needs to be overlook in this movie. While I like the style, the story needs a little help.
