Out-of-Sync is a 1995 American crime drama film featuring LL Cool J in his first starring role.

The film was directed by Debbie Allen and co-starred Victoria Dillard, Tim Reid and Howard Hesseman.

As Jason is sleeping, Crash (Gene Anthony Ray) and Nut (Mark Venturini) break into his apartment to collect a debt.

While being interrogated, Jason meets Marcus Caldwell (Howard Hesseman), a crooked cop, who blackmails him into DJing for Danny.

Caldwell goes to Jason's room and berates him for letting Monica take the money as she went to the police and told what actually happened.

As Danny and his associate Shorty proceed to head back to his office, they find Jason in there and demand why he's there.

[1] TV Guide gave the film a negative review: “OUT OF SYNC is by no means an exceptionally good movie, but it does not lay claims to being one either.

Shot in under a month for about $1.5 million by a novice director with a cast of no ‘major talent,’ it probably should have been as disappointing as most direct-to-video films are, and no one would have needed to apologize.”[2]
