Out of Time (2003)

Florida Keys police chief Denzel Washington races against his detective estranged wife Eva Mendes and the DEA in finding out who murdered his mistress Sanaa Lathan and her abusive husband Dean Cain before he becomes the chief suspect in the case. Fairly predictable with a dumb ending (just take the money, idiots), it is sold on a solid performance by Washington. A somewhat Hitchcockian protagonist, he is in way over his head before he even realizes he’s near the water.
